Hey just saw this... PAS runs out faster than the controller as the battery is smaller. A 15 mile ride today dropped my controller 6% and my PAS 4%. Full ride on level 1 assist. As the batteries get down below 50% the drop off rate increases so extrapolate accordingly. As to the burn out...

Sometimes it has taken a week or so to hear back. It is just the two of them (actually I think only Grace handles the communication so it's just one person). I'm not sure if they have other day jobs but that's entirely possible, as OM isn't producing enough to support two people AFAIK, yet...

I think the belt is $45-50. Based on my usage (not daily) I'd say you probably get aroud 2 years of intermittent use so seems pretty reasonable. If you use it every day and constantly, obviously you'd get less duration. There's also the tire wear to consider as a small expense. I would again...

The battery replacement is easy - I did have to buy the right size Torx driver though. Very fast and simple click in connections inside the units. When I get around to replacing the belt I will definitely post my experience. Yes, that is something Jeff could consider offering in the future but...

Hi. Well I just recently had to put in new batteries for both the PAS and throttle controllers - Jeff has them available. I was bit dismayed that the PAS just up and quit with no warning so I wasn't thinking to get a new battery in advance. I could see where that would be a complete bummer if...

Using "throttle" on the handlebar controller, you can preset 25, 50, 75 or 100% power. You can also tweak the power by the thrust of the little joystick so that gives you further control within the limit you select. The "PAS" does indeed have 9 levels and there are 2 different places on the...

MIRO, who owns an OM, is unable to post here right now for some technical reason. He emailed me the following and asked that I post it for him. My response was to point out you can charge the PAS from the mains battery by USB or also take along those cell phone power packs as another option...

You're right. But again, I think it takes $ to do that (professionally at least) and Jeff is trying to put every cent into product delivery. I am suprised that folks who have already received OMs have not posted more videos - seems like everyone posts videos of every little thing these days...

I guess it's hard to encourage people to get something you haven't tested personally, I understand. However, we all buy things based on reviews and not first hand experience. I've never used it on a Brompton, so if someone with a Brommie asks me I point them to the review here on EBR by the guy...

You may not be aware that EBR has changed it's model and now charges for reviews. I know Jeff has tried to get Electrek to review, but since every unit he sends out for review is a unit not sold and one not delivered to a backer, it's a challenging scenario. No one is telling you to "tout this...

I was sent a copy of the update by Grace and I'm super happy to hear they responded to backers. Between Covid and tariffs and everything else, so many businesses are struggling. I hope with my whole being that they are able to hang in there and move forward next year. It's a very good product...

Thank you. If I am guilty of anything, it's being optimistic and hoping for the best for all the backers. There's a part of me that STILL hopes/thinks Jeff will eventually send them all out. I hope so, I really do. A little part of my remaining faith in humanity will disappear if he doesn't. It...

Ahh, Jur, I am so sorry to hear this. I was hoping you were out riding yours by now. I don't know how many he delivered (quite a few in NY) and I know several people who ordered post-IG and received them. It's unconscionable that he hasn't communicated with the backers - there really is no...

Dude, I have no idea what your experience is with OM. I have written about MY experience, which has been very good. I don't really give a flying frack what you think as I don't know you. I've been shafted by crowdfunding myself (I bought into Urbanext and never got it). I have no idea if Jeff...

Re: mileage. It totally depends on how you use it. After a year of use, I still get 20 miles on my small battery on flats in level 1 assist. I don't use throttle - it eats the battery. Level 2 only decreases battery use a tiny bit more than level 1 but using anything over level 2 does reduce...

I have the rear triangle mount on my BF pakiT! I love that it doesn't interfere with the quick fold at all. I personally think this is the best solution out there for Bike Fridays. Everything else adds too much weight.

Fellow OM owner here. Yes, the thing that differentiates OM from everything else on the market is the ability to move it from bike to bike. If you have 2 bikes, that puts the cost in the same range as 2 hub motor kits. If you have 3 or more bikes, then you're really saving money, lol. I've had...

I haven't posted in a long time but that's because it's going great with OM. I really love having it now so I don't have to use public transit. I've finally gotten on a consistent charging schedule for the controllers and the motor so I don't find myself needing a charge when I want to go...

Asisde from both being friction drives, they are very dissimilar systems. Big weight difference, Alizetti's system isn't intended for fast removal to prevent theft when you lock up your bike. There are other differences but those two are prettty major. If you're okay with a semi-permanent...
