I checked this today on my bike, and it doesn't look like it is possible to turn the lights off. They're permanently on. I'll probably opt for the Lenzye Power StVZO Pro E115 Switch headlight @Stefan Mikes suggested above. Reading the manual it appears to have the ability to turn it off. I'll...

The Germans love creating rules! :D But I would say when it comes to road safety follow the northern Europeans (the Dutch/Danish/Swedes) rather than the Germans! The Germans will create strict rules about lights and then allow 200mph on autobahns. :oops: German advancements are often those that...

Thanks Stefan! I hadn't looked into this too deeply if I'm honest, as I expected the ride to take place next year, possibly in the summer. The Switch version could be a good improvement. I'd expect in daytime mode it only uses 1-1.5w rather than 6w, which for me is quite a saving! (Edit!!! Just...

I've just had a quick read of the manual, it's only 14 pages long, and it doesn't cover each setting, it just tells you how to access the settings (press the Plus and Minus buttons for 2 seconds). Near the beginning of the manual, there is a warning which says these settings may change, so...

What a pain! I just checked myself as I had forgotten what it came with, I've been reading online for info, but it came with two manuals, one for the bike itself and the other covering the MasterMind TCU.

I was hoping this would be the last of it... :D

It's pouring down here right now with high winds. I'm gutted as I have managed to leave work early today and there is no chance I'm taking my bike out in it. My drive home was horrendous enough! I had to dodge a wheelie bin being blown down the road. :D The worst of it should pass by this...

Excellent idea! I have joined the group... :)

That's better! But I just bought a load of cold-weather clothing! :D I certainly needed thicker winter gloves! It became hard to even change gears on the bike! 🥶

Thanks Stefan! :) This was a painful ride! So bad I didn't bother with many photos! After a couple of hours of riding, it was dark. I caught all the rush hour traffic and cars were flying by me constantly, much of it down dark country lanes - a horrible experience. I grew tired and weary of...

Double benefit! On cold days I can use it to keep my hands warm! :D

I've added battery-powered lights for other rides but they're better for being seen rather than illuminating the road. Over the years I've purchased many battery-powered lights, but since I moved house I cannot find them! It's frustrating and has been putting me off buying more as I'm sure...

Yeah, will do... I've been meaning to get around to it! This week I've been tied up at work and the weather has been rubbish, with snow this morning. So it's been locked away in the garage. But tomorrow I'm going to get the bike out for a ride so I'll snap a few photos and get a post done about...

Buy a gasket from GreenBikeKit to be on the safe side, you may damage the existing gasket by removing the casing and also buy Mobil SHC100 Grease. https://www.greenbikekit.com/electric-motor-engine/ultra-g510-mid-motor-parts/bafang-ultra-m620-g510-gasket.html

Sounds good I will check that out! You have to be careful not to blind anyone though! haha :D I have an Exposure Toro Mk15 on my Frey and it's extremely bright, I think over 3000 lumens! But it's heavy and expensive. Luckily I purchased it using a Cycle2Work voucher so I saved some money but...

It's not bad most of the time but when I was riding down the country lanes it was virtually pitch black. On one occasion, there was very little moonlight and overhanging trees making it darker. I was riding along with just a small illuminated patch on the floor about 10m in front of the bike...

It's a nice bike, and I could have held out for the SL2, but it's quite expensive for what it is. At UK prices it's around double what I paid for an SL1. Carbon is expensive and nice to boast about, but you don't gain much else for spending twice as much. Ok, it has slightly more power, but in...

From my own recent experience. I'd say go for a short ride and test it... Even just down the street and back. You don't want to return from a long 50-mile ride and find out something wasn't working. I lost all of that data by not checking it properly... I realised my mistake about 25 miles into...

You need a snorkel in that weather Stefan! :D Good on you for braving the conditions and getting out and about though! 👍 I need to invest in better wet-weather clothing! :)

Haha true... We've had rainy periods over the last few days and riding in the rain is a miserable experience!😬 The weather forecast had predicted more rainy days to follow too, but I just checked again and Wednesday/Thursday now appears to be dry, but cold (-3 C tomorrow!). Hopefully will get a...
