    Honda WN7… 350 volts

    He has 39 posts, not like it’s spam. But you’re right, it’s bad misinformation. Inflamatory. Or’s he’s a kid in middle school trying to be like the big kids.

    Fold 1 PAS system

    I prefer the cadence sensor, that’s what i learned on and i like it.

    Fold 1 PAS system

    Short term answer … changed the max speed to 28 and set the pas to level 5. Very short test ride (down the street and back) the throttle seems to pull consistently and strong. That was my biggest complaint, i can accept needing to be in a higher pas level, but i wouldn’t mind programming the...

    Fold 1 PAS system

    Ok, after i posted the specs i saw the 20 nm difference, which would account for the torque, and needing to be in a higher pas level. I can accept that. But the poor performance of the throttle button is not acceptable. I have emailed customer service, i hope we start a discussion. One of my...

    CBS Evening News

    I saw a video on the news 3-4 weeks ago where a young adult riding in the city got hit by a car at an intersection. The bike rider didnkt stop for the red light.

    Fold 1 PAS system

    Chaz … i realize the pas levels are unique to each brand, but both have levels 1 to 5 and i would expect them to be roughly similar. We ride bike trails, not city streets, so the ride should be pretty consistent from day to day. So if old bike was 2 & 3 and new bike is 4 & 5 to give the amount...

    Fold 1 PAS system

    Yep, same situation. The Fold Plus has both styles but i was happy with the cadence and didn’t see a need to,buy the higher level. And your description of the throttle on your other bike matches my other bike … worked great, so why change it? I sent a note to customer service, hope they have...

    Fold 1 PAS system

    I had another brand for 2-3 yrs and it was a good bike. It was a cruiser style, enjoyed it, but the stepover height started becoming a problem with ARI (if you don’t know, that’s age related issues. You’ll get there). So I researched and bought a velotric fold 1 regular. Don’t need the...

    Brake squeal

    Have not washed the bikes, mine or wifes, have not ridden in the rain. Neighborhood has some nice gentle hills, plenty of opportunity to ride the brakes going downhill.

    Brake squeal

    PD … thanks for the advice. I may have previously spilled brake fluid on the rear brakes … maybe … but both squeal equally badly. Is there a need, or reason, to add a dab of grease between back of the pad and the caliper? When i replace the pads this week, i will wipe the rotors with...

    Brake squeal

    I took a disposable rag, sprayed it with brake cleaner, and thoroughly wiped off the disc. I didn’t spray the cleaner near the bike, and did not get close to the calipers. Rag got very dirty. Went for a ride … it might be a little better but i5 still squeals. I ordered new pads.

    Brake squeal

    PD … not a diesel vehicle, and the exhaust is on one side so that should only contaminate one wheel … but both make noise. I have some brake cleaner spray, i will give it a shot.

    Brake squeal

    Ride1Up cafe cruiser, wife & i each have one, about 350 miles. Recently my brakes have started squealing very badly right at the end of a stop. When i brake while riding, there is no noise, it’s only the last few seconds of stopping. And when i take the bike off the hitch rack, i use the...

    Bleeding brakes

    Ride1Up Cafe Cruiser. Rear brake is very soft, it gets hard if i pump the lever 4-5 times, reminds me of my old cars with air in the brake lines. I bought a service kit from amazon and have tried several times to bleed the brakes, but it’s not working. Need help. I watched a couple of...
