    Just got the ultra eagle - getting used to the midrive?

    I just went around the block its so freaking AWESOME now!!!! Appreciate all the help here (no thanks to a couple with their useless commentary). The bike rides so freaking SMOOTH it rides like my rear hub now but much easier to manaeuver and of course way more power!! The updated PAS settings...

    This was the reply from Biktrix "You can change the wheel size to 27 here but it actually doesn't matter because the speed sensor data is handled by the display and the display needs to have the proper wheel size set on it (or the closest size of the actual wheel)". About to go take the bike...

    Just got the ultra eagle - getting used to the midrive?

    I will send Biktrix an email to be sure this is what it says in the Specs: RIMS 26"- 80MM 36H, BLACK 27.5"- 35MM 36H I know the tires are 27.5" does that mean the wheels must be as well? Also I updated my pas settings to the following. I didn't replicate the highest assist levels. I still...

    Just got the ultra eagle - getting used to the midrive?

    Ok I got the software and connected it. I already updated the throttle settings to current and to start at 1% power. Now this is my screenshot of the assist settings. So on the left column 1-9 this is what I need to update correct? So let's say I want to try to add 10% power to each assist...

    Just got the ultra eagle - getting used to the midrive?

    Yeah I just have a habit of going all the way to lowest gear 1 when I come to a stop on my rear hub which is a 9 speed. This is a 12 speed so I just need to get used to not gearing down that low on this bike. Plus the fact the shifter doesn't tell you what gear you're in I'm just having to...

    Biktrix also offered a free 1 hour remote session to update my programming settings. I think I got it though and I’ll screenshot all the settings. If I upgrade my chainring to 52t will it keep me from wheelie in low gears?

    Just got the ultra eagle - getting used to the midrive?

    So if you set your assist to L9 since for my preference I feel the assist is a little too low and want to increase it. If I set it to L9 - 100% that's not the same as 100% throttle power right? I'm not going to pedal and wheelie right?

    Appreciate that, my programming cable came in today so was looking forward to updating the throttle setting to current. I'm also seeing a couple different versions of the software? Can you confirm which software you're using? Thanks!

    Just got the ultra eagle - getting used to the midrive?

    Yeah I agree I even read about somebody that cruised on throttle only through an intersection and got pulled over because he wasn't pedaling.

    Just got the ultra eagle - getting used to the midrive?

    I have had a lot of help in figuring out this bike and its settings to get it to suit my riding style. You have contributed absolutely nothing. I would've done just fine with everybody else helping me and without your useless commentary.

    Just got the ultra eagle - getting used to the midrive?

    There was a poster that explained the steps earlier on how to program the throttle so that if you push the throttle too far instead of giving full power it will gradually increase so that's what I'm going to try.

    Just got the ultra eagle - getting used to the midrive?

    Its because of how Biktrix has the throttle programmed as mentioned by another poster so Im going to update it accordingly so its not jumpy. Right now Im being very touchy with it because its so sensitive. But yes I much rather prefer assist than throttle I don't like just pushing down a...

    Just got the ultra eagle - getting used to the midrive?

    Yes so far I am staying with level 1 until I get more used to backing off the throttle and pedaling during a shift. Now that Im more in tuned with my shifting according to feel without being interrupted with the sensor, I noticed the same thing that I didn't have to gear down that low Im pretty...

    Just got the ultra eagle - getting used to the midrive?

    So I just got back from 7 miles and yes I can pick up speed way faster that I can actually shift. Im faster than cars again from a stop lol but I am backing off throttle and shifter MANUALLY and I prefer it so much more. I don't have to worry about the motor pausing and slowing me down. Every...

    Just got the ultra eagle - getting used to the midrive?

    I disconnected my shift sensor as suggested by Biktrix. Went out for a short ride OMG yes this is exactly what I was talking about. So much better!! I didn't even go higher than level 1. That s*it was driving me nuts!! I mean I've been riding an ebike for the last 1.5 years through the hills...

    Just got the ultra eagle - getting used to the midrive?

    Yeah it's definately more like a pause for me but, Biktrix replied about how to disconnect the shift sensor https://support.biktrix.com/hc/en-us/articles/360050267771-How-to-Disconnect-The-Gear-Sensor-on-an-Ultra-Motor-Bike So I'm going to try that and the programming cable is arriving...

    Just got the ultra eagle - getting used to the midrive?

    Any ones in particular that you recommend? There are a lot of trails here that I go through and lot of times there's sand, loose dirt and gravel etc as long as the street tires can handle that I'd be willing to give it a shot but so far I don't have any complaints as far as handling, grip etc I...

    Just got the ultra eagle - getting used to the midrive?

    Yes I'm going to try a few things the gear shift sensor is totally pissing me off so the owner Roshan is going to send me a video on how to disable it. So I'm going to try that and a couple other helpful posters here told me how what to reprogram as far as throttle which I believe will also fix...

    Just got the ultra eagle - getting used to the midrive?

    Commuting and joy riding but there are a lot of trails here which I go through but mostly as shortcuts to get to where I want to go. Yes on my 750w rear hub if I have momentum and hit a hill with speed I can fly up it at almost 30 mph. This is the Juiced Bikes Ripcurrent S fat tire It's...
