    With the curve, at least for me, you can angle it down more for a more ergonomic position for your wrists. The bars are wider, so you do have better control at the sacrifice of being wider in tight spots. With a flat bar, it does allow you to lower it more for a more traditional position, but I...

    When folding down the handlebars it does hit the frame a bit at the end - almost a complete fold, but it will depend on what kind of bar and how you have it angled. For me, I also replaced the handlebar neck with a clamping style that allows me to change the angle at any time. Works for the fold...

    It's called the Dimension Arc bar 27 degree bend. I got it from bicycle warehouse but you can search for it from a few different places.

    I did a little handlebar upgrade. Damn online seller sent me chrome instead of black but I think I like it better now. Matches the forks as a highlight. It's a flat bar with a good curve. Hated the stock handlebars. Didn't seem like the components fit very well at all. This is much better and...

    Nice - it does look much better and also more robust. Although with that angle, it probably still can only handle so much weight. Still a great look and larger rack. You thinking total price around $200? IF someone is a source for these, you'd think availability at some point here in the US too...

    Yeah, the regen and rear suspension were top selling points for me. I have to say the regen feature really is all that's its cracked up to be so far in my handful of rides to date. 12 miles and only one bar down using minimal pedal power so I can see how its working. You can clearly feel the...

    It should be 15, the default, as I havent changed anything. But I'll give it a look when I get the chance

    Hmmm... seems like they can mix and match depending on what each is capable to be programmed with. I guess we'll just have to wait and see.

    First picture posted is the one I have with the first generation of X7+ - it has the 5 bar. I was told it doesn have cruise control. Hoping for the 10 bar + remote + cruise control which is being sent my way.

    They are supposed to send me the newer controller with cruise control, so it looks like it's this totally different controller and not programming or similar. Hope I get this with the remote too!

    You'll need a phillips head screw driver for the fenders (and if I remember right, the rack) and they send two sizes of allen wrench for main assembly. IF you want to adjust anything on the handlebars, you will need smaller sized allen wrenches.

    I actually had a bike mechanic change the tires on mine and he said nothing about any problems like that. I also removed the rear nut to install a trailer hitch and it went fine with mine. He also had to mess with the derailleur to get it to work right. We did have an issue with the fender...

    It does, but right near the light. Might be a longish run to the rear, but your idea would be the least intrusive mod. Haven't dug in to noticing but maybe another plug connection somewhere.

    I bet it can split off the existing headlight connection in some way

    No idea and I just got my bike in the last batch. i think they switched the description on me and are only offering it in the coming batch. You need a special controller for the feature. I complained about some shipping damages and they offered to send out the newer controller for me. Waiting on...

    Yeah, the rack is a little weird. But, you can in fact slide the cushion part right off of it with a quick release mount thing and then customize it for a basket or something else. Rack is fairly strong for how it looks though. But I wouldnt trust my own weight on it.

    ONe thing that came up when serviced by a bike professional, it seems the rear fender isnt designed well enough for this bike to allow chain clearance for the lowest gear. We had to carve out a small notch in the fender for it to work right. So, the fender addition was likely a throw in without...
