Yes , stock Bafang controller behaved like bat out of hell. Much prefer the restricted throttle.

My throttle is restricted to 750W continuous. To get more assist I can pedal but otherwise the display shows just under 750W continuous being delivered. No idea if torque is actually capped. Perhaps that's how it's feathered in.

By default throttle is restricted to 750W and it blends in so you won't have to worry about it unless you order it without restriction.

AFAIK the issue has been there forever. I never bother to set the clock, worthless.

I'd jump on the FLX deal and get the Blade 2.0 at cost. Not the quietest of motors but you get a belt drive with Rohloff IGH which is going to be low maintenance. While not a fat tire bike the tires are going to be fine for off road. I'd confirm with FLX that you're getting the UART version...

That's a heckuva coupon. Brings the FLX blade down to 4,619.30 which is less than the intro pricing (jives with "cost" pricing). Seems legit to me as it takes you to the flx domain. Can't imagine they wanted this coupon public but thanks for sharing, should help someone.

Admittedly novices may be better off with a turn key solution and just paying a higher monthly fee. To configure the tracker initially you'll need to insert a SIM with SMS capability. In my case I took the SIM out of my phone, put it in the tracker, texted the tracker from my wife's phone to...

No, TK419-B (battery backup version). You can buy direct from eelink. $50 for the tracker. $4 for external backup battery. $50 expedited shipping (required if buy the battery). Easy breezy. https://www.eelinktracker.com/4g-lte-gps-tracker-tk419-with-external-battery.html You could buy a...

Where you going to hide all those cells? Anti theft GPS needs to be discreet. On the Trak-4 you can set tracking interval as short as you want as long as you're happy paying $15+ / monthly fee. No thanks! Do it right, get a small competent tracker like the eelink and hardwire it to your...

Where are you going to secure / hide it? Looks bulky. I doubt under the seat is going to fool a thief. Even with the cheapest plan you're still bending over for $84 / year with shitty 1 day tracking intervals. No thanks! Also, I doubt the battery will last as long as they claim. If you...

As with any review or reviewer, if any sort of compensation or kickback is involved the review the review can't be trusted. I have seen a few "reviews" on electrek where it appeared some form of compensation (direct or indirect) prevented the reviewer (whether it was mikey, micah, or someone...

Around $6K in my case.

Found another great use for the TK-419. Charging alerts! It's best for battery longevity to not charge beyond 80% unless you want to balance cells or need the extra capacity and plan to ride right away. What I've done (until now) is guesstimate how long it will take to charge to 80%, and set...

My guess is the guy is just full of hot air (and has a really small pecker). If he was a gun crazy he probably wouldn't have left home unarmed. File a police report, it may not be the first time he's threatened someone. If you see him again and feel threatened, call 911.

I disconnected the 2 black wires and did a connectivity test with my multimeter to see if they were still connected. It indicated connectivty so you may be able to get away with just running the yellow relay wire to the shift sensor (+) wire. That said I'm not sure of side effects since I...

From what I understand, ebike batteries aren't typically grounded to the chassis (for safety reasons due to the high voltage). One of the wires in the sensor loop is (+) and the other wire is (-) but I don't think that's the same as battery (-) or ground (there is actually a third wire in the...

Here is a typical shift / brake sensor wiring loop. When you shift (or brake) the sensor connects the 2 wires which tells the controller to cut power. controller --- sensor red (+) wire --- | \ ----- sensor black (-) wire ------ sensor Splice into this...

OK, got relay working by splicing into the gear sensor cable. The gear sensor wires were tiny (26 AWG) so used this kit to splice the 2 wires from the tracker in parallel. A bit pricey but didn't have much wire to work with, and only one chance to get it right...

You can congratulate me when I get my bike, I'm one of the few founders that chose to hold out. I think it will happen eventually, but if it doesn't, I've made worse investments. I realize you are just trolling as always but I don't have a problem with anyone that did what they felt they...

I'm not sure that's a fair comparison, maybe if you had been waiting 2 years for a new model and they told you if you wanted a refund you would have to wait for liquidity to resolve, but no point sawing the sawdust, just wanted to clarify those opting for refund got their money back. There's...
