I can't stand idiot lights and the view from my Izip Express isn't good. I am a big guy and the idiot lights are way low from the horizon, so, I had the idea to make my own volt meter. Now that I have done it, I know one of you is going to say, "why didn't you buy this thing over here?", ...

I will look it up, thanks!

OK, I have had a chance to look at it and the bias is the issue. When I was on the stock bike my weight was more evenly separated between the two ends, now is is very rear biased and you can see it on the shape of the footprint of the tire. Obviously I have gone over some magic weight...

OK, the rear weight bias makes sense. With all of the other forces, I have trouble believing that wind is significant at 20. I do think you hit it on bias, the very reason I did it was to get the weight off my hands. Numb hands is not worth 3 mph,..... yet

I bought my Izip Express sight unseen. In retrospect, probably not the best move, more glandular then cerebral. I am a heavy tall rider and I am setting it up myself, it would have been nice to have someone that actually knew what they were doing to help. I think that I finally have the seat...

That was very informational. Thank you for that. I will have to adjust for lower rider watts, but, that is a lot of stats to obsess over

I am Dave's size and I just bought an Izip Express last month. OK, I am slightly bigger and over 55. Yes, the first month was a bit sore, but, it is good now. I also realize that I may face some spoke challenges in the future after reading this, but, I am loving to bike so far. It doesn't...

Izip Express and a Trikke T12 I want to convert to a highly motivated version
