    CF Racer1 Road Delivered Today

    Ojsakila, I'm jealous. Ride 1 Up confirmed, in an email, that the warranty voids when the border is crossed. Unfortunately, I have to cross the CF Racer1 off my list. :mad:

    CF Racer1 Road Delivered Today

    I'm still considering purchasing this bike, but a big negative I've come across while doing some sleuthing on the internet that Ride 1 Up's warranty does not cover bikes shipped to Canada. I've emailed Ride 1 Up to find out if this is correct. If it's true I won't be ordering one.

    Deciding whether to transport e-bike on 2016 Subaru Impreza or 2020 Toyota Camry.. recommended hitch and bike carrier setup

    Personally, I'd go with a class 3 hitch mounted on your Subaru, if you plan on carrying at least one heavy ebike (and the rack isn't light either). I'm surprised a class 3 hitch is not available for the Camry, as I was able to purchase a class 3 hitch for my wife's Honda Fit, which is...

    Battery starting to fail?

    I'm looking ahead, thinking that I'll have to replace one or both of the batteries in the near future. I'm not sure how soon that will be, so I'm starting to look for a replacement battery. I know next to nothing about batteries, so some advice would be greatly appreciated. 1. Can I replace my...

    Battery starting to fail?

    I did some testing today on one of my batteries meter reading: 49.6V bike's display: 54.9V Switch to percent 69% Using Hydra's display: 55.1V Switch to percent 69%

    Battery starting to fail?

    My had to replace my display late last year with one from AliExpress. It worked fine up until a week ago, after my last battery charge. I have two chargers. One is similar to Grin's Satiator charger, with adjustable percentages and charging rates. The other, which came with my Hydra, is a...

    I'll try installing the display from my Hydra on my UC Pro.

    Battery starting to fail?

    I put a meter on the battery and it showed 52.0 V (fully charged). My AliExpress display is obviously crap.

    Battery starting to fail?

    Interesting update: As I mentioned, on my last ride I drained the battery. I charged the battery up yesterday and mounted it back on the bike. to my surprise the voltage (on the display) read 57.7V and the percentage showed 92%

    Battery starting to fail?

    I mentioned the other ride, because it was very similar to the ride I did today, including the temperature and time of day. Also, 90% of my rides are in power level 1. I don't think I have much more than 3000 miles on this bike and I'm constantly switching batteries, so each battery only has...

    Battery starting to fail?

    A year ago I did a 72km ride and ended up with around 29% battery remaining. That was with an old display that was relatively actuate. Ballpark, I'd say the battery has deteriorated approximately 25-30%. :(

    Battery starting to fail?

    I took my UC Pro on a group ride today. Usually, I ride my regular road bike, or my e-gravel bike, but I decided to take my UC Pro to see how it would do on a 50+ km ride. About half way through the 77km ride my display icon turned red, informing me the battery had nothing left in the...

    Battery starting to fail?

    Voltage selection on the display is 48v-same as the battery. I hadn't ridden this bike for a couple of weeks, but up until the recent percent/voltage discrepancy the displace has always read in the 91% to 92% when I set the charger to 100%.

    Battery starting to fail?

    I received the bike in Oct 2021, so, if the batteries were new when they were shipped to me, around 2.5 years. I probably only have around 3000 miles on the bike. Probably less.

    Battery starting to fail?

    The display is set to 48V. What I can't understand is why the display shows 71% but reads 53.6 volts (the other battery) and the little battery icon also shows about 3/4 battery remaining. The battery capacity is 52V 17Ah. Both batteries came with my UC Pro, from Watt Wagons.

    Battery starting to fail?

    Thanks for the response, il Munduato. I used two chargers, just to make sure that the charger I usually used was producing the correct voltage output.

    Battery starting to fail?

    I have two 48 volt batteries for my UC Pro and charged both of them yesterday. One battery charged to 71% even though I set it for max % for a long ride. The other battery only charged to 64%. Voltage reading on the 71% battery was 53.9. If 100% is 54.6v shouldn't 53.9v be somewhere around 92...

    Help me decide - Used 2022 Cannondale left Neo Vs 2021 Trel Domaine HP

    Thanks for the link for the Lefty servicing. I'm WAY over the 50 hour mark, so it's probably time to service my Oliver fork.

    Help me decide - Used 2022 Cannondale left Neo Vs 2021 Trel Domaine HP

    I can't comment on the Trek, but I can comment on the Lefty, as I've owned one for 4 years. I'm not sure what you're eluding to when you say the lefty fork will need regular maintenance. Mine bike has just over 10,000km on it and I haven't touched the fork....and it works fine. Tire selection...
