After a week of commuting I can't say I've seen anything like the 'fluctuation' that I'd experienced and had me join this thread. Running with the diagnostic display has made it much easier to see that the motor/controller are operating smoothly and the changes I've experienced have been wind...

Not without charging during the day. On my Dash I can run out the battery on a ~20 mile ride at PA3, though I'm likely to be going more like 23-25 mph. If I stick to PA1 and under 20 mph I can easily go more than 25 miles on one charge. It's hard to go that slow, though. :) I'm quite a bit...

Commuted to work today. Calm and overcast and, for us at least, muggy. Still - so much more fun than driving. I noticed two 'fluctuations' but momentary, not the long event that got me to reply on this thread. Both occurred when the motor command was reading 585 to 600, and then suddenly...

I just got back from my ride with the diagnostics display and the 'fluctuation' didn't occur. I meant to go for a short ride over on a nice paved, flat bike path, but I got over there and realized how nice it was out, so I went more than 20 miles. It's fun to be back on a bike! It took me a...

Slightly convex, very clear, stays where I put it. Cool tool.

Yes, an error code and complete loss would be a more substantial problem. So do you think this is a permanent characteristic of the bike, this 'fluctuation'? I've also thought of this as a software glitch, something in the real-time control process. I tend think it's a persistent condition but...

I think I'm having a similar, possibly the same, problem. Yesterday when I was riding I experienced a noticeable increase in resistance / reduction in power that would come and go. To me it feels like an increase in resistance but it could also be a drop in power. I've never seen an 'E6' or...

+1 for the Mirrycle and the baseball card in the spokes. I hope you love your new bike!

That eFlow reminds me of this:

Hi @86 and still kicking, I'm also cursed with awful weather here on the SF peninsula but at least I don't have your horrible views! Big enough budget helps but I agree that regular upgrades (and selling hand-me-downs on Craigslist) will be my plan, too. I went with an IZIP Dash for the quality...

The weirdness could relate to the legal status of e-bikes in Jersey. It was mentioned before on the forums, I think, and Wikipedia has a bit: Electric bicycle laws - New Jersey.

Both links worked, and the conversation seemed pretty familiar. I've seen similar on bikeforums.net particularly in the mountain bike forum. Nevertheless I'm still a taken aback by the unselfconscious judgmental attitude some have - they're entitled judge the propriety of e-bikes and their...

2500 plus tax.

I've had friends tease me about 'cheating' but it's good spirited. Scarcely anyone really knows what an e-bike is and when I tell them about the exercise I'm getting -- that my bike isn't just a moped or scooter -- they think it's cool. A number of them are into electric cars and they actually...

Ouch - @CurrieTech - the wheel may survive? Seems like the logical thing, if my Dash is in the batch that is at risk, is to join @pcrdude and request a replacement, if only to secure the resale value of my used Dash. So how do we know which bikes may have a bum motor?

My motivations were to save money on gas etc., get exercise, and to explore and know more of the area in which we live. Turns out the commute is about the same time or a little slower. I also didn't really know how much I'd love it, and I underestimated how great I feel with the additional exercise.

+1. I didn't like needing to have the bottom bracket torque sensor replaced, but was quite pleased with my bike shop and Currie for doing it as quickly as they could, without cost to me.

No, I bought it from a nearby bike shop. I'm pretty sure other folks in these forums did though. You don't have anyone nearby selling e-bikes?

I'd say you're on the right track and need to ride some bikes. I'm 6' 1", 230, have a commute that's 12 miles round trip, 3 to 5 days / week, and spent less than $2800. I got a Dash that does all that and 30 mph, or at least 25+ comfortably. The distance you're going should be OK but hills and...

I just had my bottom bracket torque sensor replaced and had a post-repair problem: the level of pedal assist would diminish, drop and resume, and I wasn't at all sure of a repeatable pattern I could describe to help with the repair. Can't tell from your description @HumanitiesHaze if your...
