    Battery percentage/bars on display only update after bike powered off and back on

    This won't be of much help but FWIW, this also happens occasionally on one of my Pedego Platinum Interceptors. Sometimes, it will go from displaying 5 bars down to one when the battery fully discharges. As in your case, powering on and off causes the gauge to read correctly. Pedego tech...

    Good uses for walk mode

    I can see where these harnesses would be practical for carrying conventional bikes, but can you use one to carry a heavy e-bike? I suppose some are light enough and doable for physically fit riders but in my case, the bike, battery, and gear often exceeds 100#. The bike itself is 58# and could...

    Show us pictures of where you ride your ebikes!

    Rode the bike to the beach, but I don't know why. o_O This type of critter I can do without!

    A 27.2 mm Electronic Dropper Seat-Post. Ideas?

    These electronic shifting systems from Archer are reasonably priced, easy to install and work with almost any derailleur. There is also a power cable adapter option for Bosch systems: https://archercomponents.com/ I now have them on all my bikes and was able to remove all the shifter cables...

    Good uses for walk mode

    I just don't understand Quebec. They want independence and tourism is a big part of their economy. With an attitude like this, how could they possibly succeed?

    Good uses for walk mode

    The last time I was at a KFC in Quebec, the server wouldn't take my order unless I did it in French. He spoke perfect English but actually laughed at me when I tried. I eventually walked out and haven't been in a KFC since. I don't know about the law but it sure wasn't good PR for KFC. :mad:

    Good uses for walk mode

    Before I added cruise control, I used this device to "lock" my half twist throttle at a set speed...

    Class sticker?

    I ride trails all over the northeastern US and from what I see, these "outlaw" ebikes seem to be confined to urban and suburban areas. Kids usually don't have the ability to transport their bikes so they ride close to home. Being retired gives me the luxury to ride wherever I want. I now ride...

    Charging Ebikes on EV Charging stations

    I don't know about others, but I'd rather ride than sit and watch a battery charge. I just carry a spare, which gives me a 100+ mile range. That's about all I can comfortably ride in a day. I recharge in the evening at a hotel, campground or wherever I'm staying the night.

    Rode up on homeless person sleeping on bike trail.

    There are other incidents in the area as well. Back in March, a man was killed near the trail in Cuyahoga National Park: https://www.beaconjournal.com/story/news/2021/12/10/woman-arrested-murder-man-cuyahoga-valley-national-park-matthew-john-dunmire-chelsea-denise-perkins/6449997001/ Cuyahoga...

    Rode up on homeless person sleeping on bike trail.

    I just cancelled a planned trip to ride the Ohio & Erie Canal Trail near Akron OH due to the recent mass shooting: https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cjll10pz1d2o No sense in taking the risk, no matter how remote, when there are safer places to ride! I attended college in Akron 50+ years ago...

    Anti theft GPS

    These trackers are indeed great ant theft tools, but what would you actually do if your bike was stolen? Assuming you succeed in finding it's location and call the police, you are at the mercy of that local police jurisdiction, which may or may not respond to such a report. In my rural location...

    Good uses for walk mode

    As mentioned before, I use walk mode to "walk" the bike up stairs. I also use it occasionally to power the bike up a loading ramp onto a rack. Its activated by pressing setup on the display, then throttle, and toggling between walk and throttle. A few seasons ago, I was riding a 30 mile loop...

    Installing Jones H Bar on Turbo Vado SL 5 EQ?

    +1 on the Jones H bar. It made a world of difference in curing my hand & wrist numbness and back pain. I tried a variety of different bars with limited success, but the Jones was by far the best. I also had further improvement by adding a Redshift Shockstop suspension stem. Keep in mind...

    Best place to buy a battery

    The range extender battery for the Juggernaut uses a connector which could be difficult to find on a "generic" battery. Biktrix offers two different range extender batteries for the bike. The OEM version, which uses quality Samsung, LG or Sanyo cells, goes for $749, depending on the capacity...

    International transport of an ebike

    Since that particular bike isn't available in Australia, getting parts and / or people to work on it could be a problem. It might be better to get another brand locally.

    Old man, new bike, massive hills, lesson learned

    No bike will climb every hill. I agree, walk mode is quite useful. I even use mine to climb stairs.

    Physical size of battery that fits the Portola folding e-bike

    The Portola battery appears to be similar to the 700 series: https://www.american-electric.co/products/copy-of-ride1up-portola-battery-pack 13.5"L x 2.9"W x 3.8"W In addition to padding, I recommend a hard shell case for added protection, such as this one...

    International transport of an ebike

    Could you just sell the bike in France and buy new when you get home? Yes, you'll take a loss, but it will be at least partially offset by the savings in shipping costs.
