    Cross Core Experience Welcome

    About 525 miles on the Civante now and so far no real issues since I tightened the loose crank early on, just enjoying. Was able to get rid of a little loose banging noise around the battery by putting a few thin strips of adhesive velcro at the top of where it mounts to the frame. For me, I...

    Cross Core + RedShift Stem

    Didn't relocate position of the power button control... came that way on the Civante, I only tilted the whole assembly a bit

    Cross Core + RedShift Stem

    Got about 50 miles now with the Redshift stem (30°/100mm) and seatpost units on the Civante... what a difference, I'm sold... didn't expect this much smoothing, but never had a bike with any shock systems at all before, just standard road bikes, and felt the bumps as normal. But now with an...

    Cross Core + RedShift Stem

    I think I need to stop reading postings on this forum or I'll go broke... 200+ miles on a new Civante, just ordered the Redstem post and stem after seeing the good reviews here and look forward to putting them on.Ten times the fun would mean I'll never want to get off the bike!

    How to check battery level

    So sounds like I may be overthinking this, wouldn't be the first time 🤔. I'll just go with the battery display. I generally use pretty light assist, but can't believe how many miles I'm getting on a charge.. like around 100 - amazing.

    How to check battery level

    Thanks again Ravi, it worked....so, I get a reading of 35.9 V (about 48%) and the display readout on the bike shows I have 37% battery left - what do you think is most accurate? I'm planning to recharge the battery at 20%, back to 80%, per what you posted for best battery life....

    How to check battery level

    Whoa... that looks complicated.... thanks for the picture. The + and - must be a couple of the pins on the charger connector, right?

    How to check battery level

    Ravi, appreciate and have learned a lot from all the battery info you've posted... but wasn't able to get any readings from my Yamaha battery beyond just the basic 4 light charge level - holding the button down longer didn't seem to do anything - Maybe have a different Yamaha battery - it's...

    How to check battery level

    Hi...recently got a Civante and would like to use my multimeter to check the actual remaining battery voltage...but I don't know how/where to connect the standard probes to the Yamaha battery in order to get a reading. Do I need a particular adapter or am I missing some simple way at the charger...

    Cross Core Experience Welcome

    Update...around a week and 70 miles on the Civante... getting used to how to best work the power assist, and fast pedal cadence, > 75, really seems to optimize each level. Little mods that have helped me with comfort are 1) bigger pedals 2) little cushier seat 3) 35 degree rise 90 mm stem plus...

    2020 Civante Review, Initial 100 mile Impressions

    Thanks to all the good insight here, I'm now 3 days, about 75 miles, on a new Civante.. couldn't agree more about the benefits and fun of this bike... another eco+/off rider, except for hills - but I hope I'll be able to stick to that 😏. So far actually haven't seen any difficult shifting in...

    Cross Core Experience Welcome

    Wow! took my first short ride today, about 15 miles and couldn't believe how good it felt...fairly flat city roads, mostly used Eco+, got up to Eco and standard on a few what used to be steeper hilly areas to me - not any more. Impressed and amazed how smoothly the motor supports pedaling, no...

    Announced: Yamaha Civante - 28mph

    Hey, got a Civante coming next week... can you tell me which size (mm) and angle Redshift stem did you get? Besides smoother ride would like to get frontbars up higher if possible. Thanks for any info.

    Cross Core Experience Welcome

    Dave and Nova, thanks for the ideas...I was able to test ride a Civante today and it feels great! Now I just need to find one available in my size, large, and I'm going for it.... any info to share on how to best take care of the battery and how long it will probably last? New ones look expensive!
