    Places that hate bicycle riders.

    I use the "don't ask, don't tell" approach. If I ask, more than half the time, they say no. Unless a battery / e-bike ban is specifically posted, I charge in room. I also don't carry them in plain sight when passing through the hotel lobby. I use a protective case anyway, which is pretty...

    Barrel size matters

    You could also contact your bike maker and ask what that 3rd pin does, if anything. Checking the voltage on the connector pins on both the charger and battery might tell you something. Won't help much if CANBUS or some other data transfer scheme is used. You can also order a Satiator from...

    Barrel size matters

    Yes, the Grin Satiator does have a force start feature. It's activated by connecting the battery and pressing the down arrow on the display.
