Fantastic looking ride and good health to enjoy. I can't help with your charging issues, but a call to the LBS/supplying retailer should hopefully get you sorted.

From recollection the Vado SL bikes have a fully integrated battery (also smaller capacity) in the downtube - you also need to look at the EQ versions to get mud guards and rear rack (at least in UK specs). If the rear rack is an important consideration for your commuting needs then the Cube...

I forgot about the tube patches i also have in there. In reality its all a very tight squeeze, perhaps a 20% bigger bag would have been ideal for me (especially as the tube takes over 50% of the space)

good to see you are enjoying the benefits of an ebike - many more hills to explore in your neck of the woods

Welcome ricbak I've only recently joined with my Giant Fastroad E+ EX Pro (quite a change from my previous Specialized FS MTB), and my wife has had a Kalkhoff Groove ebike for 3-4 years and its a great bit of kit (not my style, but very impressive none the less). Hopefully we can now have some...

Yes in the overall scheme of things a non functioning app is hardly major, but given it’s a big selling point in giants marketing it should work out of the box, in fact in hindsight I shouldn’t have left the dealer until I had it hooked up. As it stands ive now spent 5+ hours trying to get it...

I wonder if the new app will get me any further than this with my new ebike.. and on returning to the main menu.. I've installed the current app 4 times now, taken the battery out of the bike twice, changed settings in my phone but all with same result. When i search for bluetooth devices...

After recently watching several youtube videos on set ups it does appear these days that the knee to pedal axle line is almost the second thing they set after the seat height. The line from the knee doesn't have to be on the pedal axle, it can be slightly forward of it, so don't fret for the...

If the XP was available in the UK I'd have bought one and saved a few thousand £s - its looks a great fun bike for shorter journeys - i'd love one. Enjoy what you have - have fun

Generic saddle bag - just big enough for a 27.5 inner tube, trye levers, multitool and co2 tyre inflator - perfect and loads of China specials on ebay for under £4 / US$5 JetValve CO2 inflator - great little tool that (for once) is actually cheap at Halfords ( £10 for those in the UK). I've...

Wicked ride - good health to enjoy

It's also good practice to choose a suitable area when locking a bike up - a side alley off a street is generally quiet and a thief could be unseen. A large bike rack area outside a railway station for example is also not great since there are multiple racks for thief to work behind. There are...

Great choice - i was very tempted by the crossbar version, with its 500Wh battery , adjustable stem (perhaps UK specific) and suspension fork - its a good spec for the money. Pity I couldn;t get one in my size for several months

Thanks all for the warm welcome @Stefan Mikes - UK law dictates its the 15.5mph version, although the pre purchase test ride didn't stop me going over the limit lol! There are of course ways to defeat / cheat the limiter but its fine as it stands for me - i'm not a quick rider. I'm sure...

Tried the current app with my new fastroad ex pro; to be told visit retailer, update required. I’m hoping this is just the hopeless current app (tried reload, reboot a few times, I know others previously had issues with iOS ). I'm in no rush to visit the retailer after 5 days ownership so will...

Wow I like the look of the Sena, then I looked at U.K. pricing and thought the equivalent of US$250 was a bit steep for my occasional use. I generally don’t ride with audio but as I plan more miles on the ebike it might be something i utilise more

I do find the combination of the higher position and the swept bar of my wife’s Kalkhoff Groove to be super comfy for short rides. It’s a bit more sit up n beg riding position and excellent for city riding. I’ve not tried it for considerable distance, a step through Dutch style bike isn’t my...

As per Stanley’s post the range reflects the components quality, the battery and motor stay the same. A 625 One spec may be cheaper than a 500 Pro for instance. The SL is quite a step up quality wise from the one/pro but Remember reaplacemwnt cassettes etc are going to be more costly down the...

etnies make quite a range of styles with fabric and PU uppers dependent upon how weather proof you want. oneal and five ten are other options, the oneal pinned shoe has a cuff at the head for added protection/warmth

Exposure make some great lights. Highly recommend their TraceR rear light. Bright for day and night use, compact and good run times on the flashing mode. I still have a 1600 lumen China special thsts 6-7 years old,put out a lot of light for trail riding and was great for dog walking on dark...
