Waiting on a shipment from Jeff with a revised rear mount that should allow for bigger tires than the kojak; will test it out for him. I ride the kojaks partly for low weight and also because I have been amazed at how flat-free they've been, but I know some folks prefer more flat protection...

So today I spent some time admiring how Jeff enabled software on the controller (and app) that calculates range on the fly. As I was coming down the Bay Trail the wind just came up and about knocked me sideways. Since I needed to get home and walk the dog (poor thing is getting old and time...

Here's a couple pics of the rear mount detail on my BF. Maybe that will help you envision how it might fit your Swift.

Back atcha. When I first thought about getting a folding bike, your posts on BF.net inspired me! I absolutely do not need or want another bike but I have to confess your Swift is just marvelous. That was actually the first folding bike I tried riding (regular swift) because of your posts. I...

When I first emailed with Jeff about my pakit we were talking about a front mount; he hadn't seen one so he arranged for a Bfold customer to bring one to the shop. He envisioned the rear mount for the pakiT, designed and printed it, and sent me multiple iterations until we got a perfect fit...

A pic of my "1M cargo bike"....a Dahon Mu Uno with motor. Battery is in the rack bag. To shop, I retract the cable and put the little motor in the bag with the battery, then clip the bag to the top of the Travoy. 5 seconds and I'm off to Costco to load up on stuff.

No more front mount, back to my Shimano 105 brake up front.

One is my Wahoo cadence sensor which attaches with a zip ties. The other is the 1M cadence sensor, which needs to be mounted in the middle of the crank so (at the moment) it can't mount magnetically like it normally would at the pedal end. Jeff is thinking about a small metal plate that secures...

Been focused on alternative mounting solutions, not because there's anything wrong with the bracket system, but I wanted a hands-free carry system. I think I have found the perfect thing - with the bracket off the 1M battery, it fits just right inside my Revelate feed bag. Remove the bag and it...

So today's lesson is that tire pressure matters, lol. By pumping my kojak tires up to 105-ish rather than my usual 90 psi, I radically improved the riding experience with my 1M. Two rides now, one 19.2 miles today and the other 6 miles yesterday, and with the added tire pressure my acceleration...

Ok, just a brief note to say that today I did my first "wiggle"!!! You can turn the PAS off and on by jiggling the left pedal back and forth a tiny bit when it's at the top of the stroke. So if you don't want to push the button on the handlebar controller, or don't even want to take it, you...

If you're running in PAS and press either button on the handlebar controller, the motor retracts immediately. You can also trigger the retract by doing a "wiggle" with the pedals (left pedal at top, go back and forth a little bit quickly) but I haven't mastered that yet. The motor retracts from...

Yes, but as I said I only used it for the incline up the bridge, not the entire 19 miles. I only used 15% to get up the bridge (looong bridge) at PAS level 3-4. My longest ride so far using the battery/motor the whole time was 15-ish miles, PAS at level 1 with throttle boosts over a couple...

Took a 19 mile ride, most of it without motor by choice. Normally, I check the weather websites before I ride the Bay Bridge trail to the Treasure Island lookout, because it's windy like crazy out on the bridge. Loaded up with my 1M, I just decided to go and see how things worked out. Winds...

Where do you store YOUR electric bike? Mine is on my night stand, smaller than my radio.

Another ride, another experience. I live in the Bay Area for those that don't know. While our weather is usually very good, our best bike trail is right along the water and the offshore winds can be intense. Previously, if the wind was up I'd either ride more inland or skip a ride. But...

Also, at some point, he is going to have over-the-air software upgrades for the motors available. Maybe end of year or early next year is my guess. That will be ideal for you!

Jeff also mentioned he is working on a second belt design specifically for those who ride in primarily wet weather seasonally. The belt is user-changeable in 10 minutes so one could have both types of belts and switch once a year.

Another video - this time I got the lights on the motor showing, and you can hear what it sounds like with just throttle and no PAS as I ramped speed up. I stopped the throttle at around 15mph as there's no way I'm going faster than that with one hand on the bike and the other holding my naked...

Some more detailed pics.
