Congrats - you made a good choice. I bought mine in late winter and put over 2300 miles on it. No regrets. Interesting about your shoe dragging on pavement/trail. I haven't had that happen once on my 700 and have never heard anyone mention that in the last year in the Ride1up FB group, yet...

I haven't had this issue on my 700. I'm almost always riding in the top few gears. Someone was just reporting in the FB group about an issue with the chain coming off when pedaling backwards, and it was due to his chain. https://www.facebook.com/groups/264729534163214/posts/913065022662992/

On my 700, which uses the same KD218 display as the LMTD, the setting "speed limit" is only relevant to throttle assist limit. I mentioned this earlier in the thread. The PAS max is always 28. The speed limit setting came defaulted to 20 mph on my 700, and my throttle would assist to a max 20...

I'm surprised the LMT'D would have that low of power and speed with throttle only compared to my Ride1Up 700. On my 700, using the KD218 display with the throttle speed limit set to the maximum of 28 mph, it will assist up to 28 mph using throttle only (with PAS set to 0 and not pedaling) if...

It's hard to tell from a video, but there's some noise from the hub motor. My 700 has the same motor. I don't think it's that loud, but I usually am using no more than 6% PAS power.

Kevin from Ride1Up stated yesterday that they might release a Prodigy with a belt drive and IGH for $100 to $150 more. https://www.facebook.com/groups/264729534163214/posts/896243421011819/?comment_id=896252111010950&reply_comment_id=896457200990441

The Ride1Up Product Team is working hard to finalize the next addition to the Ride1Up lineup. Shipping expected to start January 2022. Additional spec and details to follow in the upcoming months... - Custom cruiser style alloy frame w/ cafe handlebars - Comfortable upright riding position -...

Someone just asked this in the Ride1Up group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/264729534163214/posts/894330024536492/

No, not all. For example, the Bafang bbs02 and bbshd do not.

I forgot to respond to this. If you got your LMTD last year, it would have a torque sensor. Earlier this year, they switched to a cadence sensor version. They only have one or the other. Rumor is they will be changing back to selling them with torque sensors, although I haven't seen...

You will actually have to put in a "smaller" size tire to have it read a lower speed so that the bike will continue to assist beyond 28 mph.

The chainring will have no factor on the accuracy of the speed. A workaround to get assist faster than 28 mph would be to change the wheel size or speed sensor setting in the display settings so that it reads a lower mph on the LCD than the actual speed, so the bike doesn't know it hits 28 mph...

OP said he definitely wants a torque sensor, so that one is out.

Kevin, the owner has ridden one. He spoke highly of it. Of course, some would say he's biased. :) I think it's an interesting bike, based on the Brose motor system, but at that price point, I wonder if it might be worth spending a little extra dough for a Specialized, like a 2021 Como or...

Vado is too upright?? But Como is comfortable? Como is more upright than Vado!

Hair spray is good for getting grips to stick so that they don't twist after you get them in place because the hair spray dries and acts like a glue. I would avoid using it for removal, though, for that same reason.

It would be nice if I could lower the maximum assist speed myself through the display or phone. Taking it to a shop every time I want to make a change, which could be at any point during a ride, is not practical. So I would just leave it set to 28 mph.

With the 2022 models, I think I would go with a Vado over Como, the opposite of the 2021 models. Looks like assist is to 28 mph. Could that be adjusted down in previous years' models through the display or Mission Control?

That would be very disappointing if they didn't offer the Como in high step anymore. I wouldn't purchase a step-through.

It doesn't appear on the internet??? Surely you jest. See if this helps: https://letmegooglethat.com/?q=Espin+Flow
