I think you actually are thinking of the LMT'D. Yes, this was fully expected after they got their existing inventory sold with the cadence sensor, just as they did with the XR prior to that, and just as they had to sell out the old torque sensor inventory when they switched to cadence last...

I try not to charge mine over 51.5 V most of the time to increase battery longevity. I charged it to 100% (54.6 V) a while back, but I rode it shortly afterwards so that it wouldn't sit around stressing the cells. There's also the possibility that the display is not reading the voltage accurately.

My 700 maxed out at 54.6 V, which I've only done one time. Mine is the older 700 model and battery that was sold last year. This year's has a different battery. There is a thread about that here. I haven't heard of anyone reporting their battery charged to 55+ V.

There's an even longer delay if you are riding along pedaling in PAS 0 and decide to kick up the PAS level as you are already pedaling. It's more like 3 seconds before power engages. It's annoying, but I got used to it and anticipate by changing it a little earlier. And then there's that...

I'll just point to this thread as to why you should take those bike torque specs with a grain of salt. https://electricbikereview.com/forums/threads/torque-rating-on-e-bikes-marketing-gimmick.2467/

That torque is at the chainring on a mid-drive, and torque drops as RPMs increase. Don't get too caught up in those mostly useless torque specs. There's a thread here that goes into some detail about those ebike torque specs.

There is a Prodigy that has a front suspension. The Prodigy XC, which is the one mentioned by name in topic and reviewed in the video. Some really nice things about the Prodigy are that it has a very quiet motor that is very responsive, using a Brose motor torque sensor based system like many...

It uses a torque sensor based Brose drive/electric system, like a lot of Specialized bikes, so that's why it doesn't have the throttle or brake safety cut-off. The battery is actually only $449 from Ride1Up. For comparison, I think the Specialized battery is over $1000 that also uses a Brose...

The battery is fine. There's a new review - I posted a link in the Ride1Up section of this forum. Looks like a winner.

I saw this one posted to the Ride1Up users FB group. https://www.facebook.com/groups/264729534163214/posts/1029605714342255/

Then you shouldn't have been surprised it went a faster when you pedelled pedaled vs. comparing to the lowest PAS level on other bikes. The point is that someone normally doesn't want that much speed/acceleration in the lowest PAS.

I doubt it. There are delays with assist level changes on my Ride1Up 700 of a couple seconds or so. A bit annoying, but I just try to make my changes in anticipation of that. A minor issue in the grand scheme of things. Note, this has nothing to do with starting to pedal or moving the...

They switched the XR LMT'D back to a torque sensor a few weeks ago, but the ST is still only cadence sensor.

2 speeds? I have never seen a two-speed bike or e-bike. Anyway, my 700 has a 45T chainring and the smallest cog on the cassette is 11T. I think it's geared plenty high enough. You might need to change your gearing to your preference. I ride in PAS 0 a lot (no power assist), but I'm still in...

Funny, I like the 700 series and bought one, but I barely touch the throttle. I like the granular control of the power based PAS on the 700. You can configure it to get as much assist as you want on any assist level with an optional number of assist ranges 0-3 to 0-9. The 700 will continue to...

New Ride1up Core-5's appear to have a "cadence controlled" power based PAS. https://www.facebook.com/groups/264729534163214/posts/1015734969062663/

I have a 700, one year old. The lag I notice most is when changing PAS levels. You can't change that delay in the settings. So, if I'm in PAS 0 and change to PAS 1, it take a few seconds for the power to kick in, and similar or same delay changing from PAS 1 to PAS 2, etc., so I've gotten to...

I used to have mine set for 0-9 with the first 3 levels of assist at 5, 8, 14 IIRC because I wanted minimal assist in lower levels to get better exercise. But I thought the differences were too small and required more toggling than I thought should be necessary moving between preferred amounts...

On my 700, which uses the same KD218 display, Assistance Sensor is also set to 12 and speed sensor 1. But on the 700, it doesn't matter what range I'm using - any AMP changes won't stick. In 0-3, with PAS on 3, I can set it as high as 18, same as with any other range, not 22. But as soon as...
