    Throttle for the Priority Current

    This is a stale thread, but starting here anyway. I'm trying to find a splitter cable for this Truckrun motor. I found this: https://www.ebay.com/itm/397932098338, but the longer one is out of stock and theirs no mention of connector gender so not sure if the short one would plug into the...

    My Stoopidest Acquisition Yet: THE RIDE Radiant Carbon / Enviolo Automatiq

    I did return the Radiant and get the Current. Both bikes were misrepresented on the Upway website. The Priority turned out to be a medium not large, and at 6'2" is officially too small for my son, but ride posture can be matched using handlebar and stem swaps so no biggie. I loved the Radiant...

    A large Priority Current just came in at Upway for $1400. I love Priority, I've been a long time belt booster and i love the way they're all in on them with reasonably priced bikes and a modern direct to consumer retail model. I rode the small one Upway had and loved it, very powerful, class 3...

    My Stoopidest Acquisition Yet: THE RIDE Radiant Carbon / Enviolo Automatiq

    Thanks for all the info. I think the underlying issue with shift lags on the Envolio is fundamentally mechanical. There is a lot of friction (tho much less than I would have imagined) resisting the movement of the balls along the drum, meaning it takes a few (fractions??) seconds for it to get...

    I used to live on Alameda and used, and particularly loved, a Bike-Bart-Bike-Ferry-Bike mobility scheme to travel all over the Bay Area. I'm super envious, I really miss CA! Got my fingers crossed. I've been feeling really worried I've made an impulsive mistake. Only rode this bike around a...

    My Stoopidest Acquisition Yet: THE RIDE Radiant Carbon / Enviolo Automatiq

    They've told me the Automatique is able to be configured with an app. I rode my trusty old Trek Soho yesterday for the first time in a year (except for test rides for my daughter who now rides it) and a little hill kicked my ass. I've gotten so used the boost, also to having a throttle so I can...

    My Stoopidest Acquisition Yet: THE RIDE Radiant Carbon / Enviolo Automatiq

    I had a friend with a BMW motorcycle with the rear mono swing arm, and it was wonderful, made changing tires many times easier (just like a car) especially than a typical chain drive motorcycle. Hoping these one sided axle mounts have similar benefits.

    My Stoopidest Acquisition Yet: THE RIDE Radiant Carbon / Enviolo Automatiq

    I did it! Bought the Signature Carbon. Such a cool and radical bike, almsot a piece of art, and while almost twice as much as the Priority Current, its rare and so I could not bear the chance of it slipping away and not finding another. There is a Radiant on ebay for $400 more, and the other in...

    You mention jumping off the line at lights. Thats also one of my strategies with urban riding. A bike can accelerate much faster than most cars for several meters, enough to establish a place in a lane or get out of the way of right turners etc. I love the Shimano triggers on my Nexuses and...

    My Stoopidest Acquisition Yet: THE RIDE Radiant Carbon / Enviolo Automatiq

    Getting the batterry between the down tubes of the Townie was a challenge. I actually heated up the battery case and deformed it then cut a notch to fit into the little gusset on the old frame design as well as another dimple on the aft end to fit under the top tube. I removed the mounting plate...

    I checked the Signature Carbon in Brooklyn today, and while it had no badges or labeling, I connected it to the E Step app and it listed the wireless unit as it as an SCE6100, even said it was not compatible with an SC-EP8000, tho not sure if thats the same. I was really impressed with the...

    My Stoopidest Acquisition Yet: THE RIDE Radiant Carbon / Enviolo Automatiq

    Way out of my budget, but Im looking at one of these Tomberlins. I have an old Townie I put an 8 sp Alfine on with a Tong Sheng midrive using a Bafang display, throttle, and 3 button control. Its a wonderful bike I've been riding for a decade, and so funky no one would think to steal it. I've...

    Handlebar control for Turbo Como SL

    I'm looking at Turbo Como SL 4.0 and 5.0s but really dislike the placement of the control switch on the top tube. I also looked at a Turbo Como 3.0 IGH which does have a handlebar control. Does anyone know if the SL 4.0 could be adapted to use the handle bar control fprm the 3.0? Also wondered...

    EVr in suburban NY

    A 5th generation Californian, I moved to NY in 2016, leaving the home I built in Topanga Canyon, retiring from my work as a motion picture production designer, to help care for my infant granddaughter. I sold my wonderful VW TDI Jetta Sportwagen back to VW, and used the proceeds to buy a 2013...
