I was originally going to purchase a Yamaha Civante. However, no matter how hard I looked, I could not find a second battery for sale.

I wish complaining were not required, but it so often is. Washington State has pretty robust consumer protection laws. False advertising is a no-no. It can entitle a plaintiff to treble damages, court costs, attorney fees. Treble damages means three times the amount of harm. Filing a complaint...

I will file a complaint with the Washington Attorney General's Office. I will file a BBB complaint as well. I will also consider filing a lawsuit against Cannondale. I'm gonna start with the ATG complaint. Maybe that will light a fire under their asses and get this resolved without any further...

MYSTERY SOLVED! THESE ARE CANADIAN BIKES WHICH ARE NOT INTENDED FOR THE US MARKET The US versions of the Lefty 1, Neo 2, and Lefty 3 use the Performance Speed. The Canadian versions use the Performance CX. The Alderwood REI has a XL 2020 Lefty 3 in stock that was returned. It has the Speed...

From Bosch's website they look identical. However, they appear to weigh different. Removing the speed limitation on the CX, via a dongle, or Bosch, would effectively make the CX perform the same as the Speed. If the Speed is indeed installed on the Neo 2, it could be installed on the Lefty 3...

I received a response from Bosch: "Thank you for contacting Bosch eBike Service! According to Cannondale's website, both of the eBikes that you are inquiring about are equipped with Performance Line Speed Drive Units, which would make them both Class 3 - 28MPH assist. If you are only receiving...

I could not find any instructions, or a video, on how to remove the battery from the Lefty 3. So, I made a quick video showing how it's done.

Thanks for your post. If you look on REI's website, it lists the Topstone Neo Lefty 3 as both a closeout, and IMPORTED!! These bikes may not be made for the US market. In any event, Bosch could fix your bike in a few minutes and remove the speed limitation. However, I doubt they will, unless you...

Just like you mentioned, my plan is to use partial frame bag to carry the second battery. I definitely don't want to leave the battery exposed without a cover. How hard is it to order a spare battery cover from Cannondale?

My intent is to carry a second battery. I was worried it might be onerous to swap batteries, and I was correct. The battery has a plastic cover, which requires the removal of about five tiny nuts to disengage from the battery. So, if you want to carry a second battery, you have take the cover...

Here in the United States it is estimated that half a million diesel truck owners have illegally modified their trucks to bypass the emission control. Do you see any government officials doing anything about it? I could buy a diesel truck, illegally modify it to spew black carbon, specifically...

Hello, Wandering Student. I'm not sure what to think at this point. This Lefty 3 is an awesome bike, and it would sure be a shame to have it limited to 20 mph. The Neo 2 that Alaskan purchased is pretty sweet. It would just be somewhat of a hassle to get some fatter tires on the Neo 2 for the...

Did you read my mind, because I was just about to suggest using a dongle? Bikespeed RS claims to have 4000 kilometers on a gen 4 without detection. They even allow one to chose between no speed limitation, and a 28 mph speed limitation. I would chose the 28 mph speed limitation. Also, if the...

Thanks for the Kinekt stem recommendation. I've read reports of the older lefty forks having issues with tracking/pulling. Riding from REI back to my apartment it was clear having a Class 3 would be more practical as I would not get passed by cars as often. I was hoping to do two things with...

Yeah, this is pretty ridiculous. Also, it's not just Cannondale's fault. I read multiple "reviews" which stated this is a class 3. Obviously, if the fact this is not a class 3 was not caught by these "reviewers", they did not actually review anything. I see that the Cannondale website...

I think you are right about the display being set to kilometers.

Their Bosch trained mechanic was not there today. While I was there they uploaded the newest firmware, which boosted me from 75 nm to 85 nm. They have a XL Lefty 3 on the sales floor. I asked if they would test that one out to see where the speed cuts off. I think the battery was dead, and/or...

I've seen a few youtube videos with reviews where they are getting class 3 speeds. The class 1 Cannondale ebikes at REI have Class 1 stickers.

No Class 1 sticker, or any such sticker. I've read a number of reviews from the USA which indicate this is a class 3. However, these bikes are all made in Taiwan, then shipped to various parts of the world. I'm on my way back to REI. They are going to update the firmware. I know that computer...
