    Velotric Discover II downside found.

    One thing I'm butting my head against with the Discover II. I want to try some long bicycle trips and some bicycle camping. I picked up a Burley Coho XL trailer on Ebay and was going to connect a 100 watt solar panel on top to extend my range. My concern is the plug from the charger to the...

    Velotric Discover 2 cadence sensor

    So yesterday I tried the cadence sensor option for the first time after downloading it. You can only access it from your phone. Very simple to use. Once it kicked in it was a big surge of power compared to my settings for torque. On torque I have it on boost mode and levels 3-5 depending on...

    Discover II can now switch between torque and cadence sensors!

    Just received the email today stating Discover II can now switch between torque and cadence sensors. No hardware needed just a reflash of the controller. Before this the only bike I knew that could do this was the Euphree Steller Falcom. This is what Velotric stated: Activating the...

    Replaced my Kenda tires with Schwalbe Big Ben Plus on the Velotric Discover 2

    So I received my Schwalbe Big Ben Plus 27.5 x 2.15 tires from England yesterday. It was a little cheaper buying them from England with the shipping then purchasing them here. $38.50 each and no tax. I'm sure the Kenda tires are decent but I have had pretty good luck with Schwalbe on my bikes. I...

    Velotric Discover 2 review

    So I just received the Discover 2 yesterday Fed Ex. I ordered it Monday night so was quite surprised it arrived so fast. From Los Angelas to Las Vegas. The packaging was excellent and well thought out with no damage to the bike on arrival. All the reviews I saw on YouTube pretty much said the...

    LMT'D torque sensor bottom bracket

    I took my LMT'D to the local bike shop due to a creek in the bottom bracket. They did not have a bottom bracket wrench my size to purchase which is 44 mm 16 teeth if anyone is curious. They said they would take a look at it and they greased the bottom bracket for $15.00 which got rid of the...

    RST Asteria Air Suspension 80mm Travel

    Does anyone have any information on the air suspension for the LMT'D? Like maximum air pressure setting? I think I will write to the support site on the Ride1up page.

    LMT'D add ons discussion

    Was wondering what add ons people were going to add to their LMT'D. Specifically I'm looking at a suspension seat post and some type of fender. I have a Topeak rear rack and bag from a previous bike I was going to use. My friend I ride with has a Topeak handlebar mounted metal basket. I never...

    Some odds and ends

    I don't have much to say but the bike is running great. I had a flat though. Here in Las Vegas there is all kinds of branches, gravel, rocks on the the road not to mention glass and the Schwable Big Ben plus just handles it. I did run over a branch and a large thorn got stuck in the tire. I...

    E-Glide handlebar grip upgrade

    I purchased some black leather handlebar grips from Rad Power Bikes. Comes in brown leather, black leather and black rubber. $25.00 even. No shipping or tax. Very nice. Fit exactly except for the plug on the left side. I had a spare that was narrower. Also did the rack update...

    E-Glide Battery Upgrade

    I thought I would start a new thread on the E-Glide Li-Ion battery. I mentioned " The Lake Mead area has taken me to the extreme limits of what my E-Glide can do. I have run out of juice twice before getting back to my car. Your pretty much dead in the water going uphill without the electric...

    First issue with my E-Glide ST (Remote lock out)

    This morning as I was preparing to get ready to ride I noticed that the front fork was in suspension mode. I thought I forgot to lock out the suspension with the handlebar switch but it was in the locked position. I thought here is the first warranty repair I'm going to need. 1/2 way through my...

    E-Glide ST review

    Hi, I just wanted to write a little non professional review of the E-Glide ST. This is my first E-bike and my decision was based on price, components compared to comparable priced E-bikes, and the two reviews done by EBR. One on the ST and also one on Dave and the E-Glide outfit in Santa Monica...

    E-Glide ST battery charger

    Hi, I purchased my first E-bike. The E-Glide ST. I'm very happy with it. It is a whole new experience of bike riding. Everything worked great right out of the box. There was some noise from the front brake pads but I think the pads just need to set. One concern I have is my charger gets aweful...
