Grin makes fine products and they are certainly not a waste of money in my book. I have the charger you speak of and use it almost daily. Do I charge my cells to 4.2v every time? No, as I generally shoot for 4.1v to increase longevity and the Satiator makes that much easier to do. But I...

I think you have already answered your own question from your research so I will just confirm your thoughts....stay away from Specialized Brose until they resolve the nagging motor failure question. I know the Brose rides better with less noise than the Bosch but in the end Bosch lives longer...

"Deep cycling" as you present it is circumvented by use of LVC circuits found even in the most basic of BMS. Charge your battery twice a day and you will use up the rated cycle capacity of the battery that much quicker. When charging and moving those lithium ions back to their home in the...

If you can make it with one battery cycle then I would opt for that rather than 2 charge cycles a commute day. Batteries are hefty investments so anything you can do to prolong its life is a good thing. If your commute both ways brings you too close for comfort then make some minor adjustments...

The epidemic of tort law application in the US along with the evolving social narrative concerning "equality of outcome for all" will never allow a successful long term outcome with e-bike-share. Throw in government agencies (local, state, federal) and the plethora of taxes, legislation...

I know if you take the controller off a newer Pedego and replace it with the older controller then you will be able to increase the mph setting successfully. I also heard that you can plug up to the new controller, via the USB connection, with an IPAD and do the same. YMMV

6061-T6 has much better tensile strength than indicated vs carbon steel

Isn't the whole leasing game (whatever the object) in the end about residual value? Probably why you don't see anything with e bikes. Secondary market is almost non existent.

Why not have multiple ash trays? Keep your current bike and add to your stable if something new catches your fancy.

Sorry, was thinking vco under load

I am eyeing these for when my CC tires need replacing. https://www.schwalbetires.com/bike_tires/road_tires/Marathon_Plus_HS440 Better durability than the Big Bens

Believe that is incorrect. More like 2.5v if you believe in spec sheets.

Glad you got it resolved. Hopefully it was warranty work and not a drain on your wallet.

I am thinking that's the next thing I want to add. Probably one of the disc locks along the lines of a YOHOOLYO You would think somebody throwing sparks everywhere from a portable cutting wheel on your D ring would suffice to attract attention. Throw in some serious noise and someone might...

Yes, I would spend some time in the Specialized forum also. What steered me away from Brose (although I still love how silky smooth they are). Some scary motor replacement stories (every 3 months ??o_O??) over there with Specialized implementation of Brose. Of course these stories come from...

Is battery discharge port voltage greater with charger connected or does it remain the same as when disconnected? If there is an increase (on average I see 1 to 1.5 v difference when charging) then it would appear charging is taking place. To what degree and affect would then be the...

Whats the current battery voltage measured at the charge port (nothing connected)? With charger connected, what is battery voltage at discharge port?

Take the stock seat post and see how it goes. You may like it for awhile and use the money for more immediate pressing needs. The KineKt is a superior seat post suspension method, but you can always upgrade to it later. And upgrades to anything you have owned for a bit can be kinda fun.

My CC, less than 2 weeks old, displays this problem. In my case I do not believe the battery voltage has any effect. Its intermittent, has happened 3 or 4 times now and my money is on a motor controller. Couple that with the freewheel issue I am having and it's one little demon bike right...

Ding! Ding! I think that is the true answer to the original OP question. Give it enough time and the US will follow the EU in the ebike regulation market. We be good sheeple.
