    2020 Allant + 8S Battery Issues

    Sometimes when I hit a big pothole the bike will show an error (could be 606 -- sorry don't know) and turn off for 1-2 seconds. Then it comes back without me doing anything. I assume the battery is moving and temporarily disconnecting.

    Do you charge your Bosch 500w battery to 100% With your Bosch standard charger? If not, why not?

    I hope to one day "wear out" my battery ... what a bummer it would be if I spent so much on this bike and didn't use it. I charge mine to 100%, but I'm mindful to charge it only before I use it. At first, I would charge at work... that way I would never go more than four hours or so with it...

    Allant headlight blinking

    I cannot answer your question about the blocked light sensor... but If the light is blinking and you want it to stop -- just turn the high beam on and off.

    Specialized Vado / Como, Class 3

    I would take an Allant+8s@$4,300 over an Allant+8@ 3,300. But the Allant8 is $4,000, not $3,300: https://www.trekbikes.com/us/en_US/bikes/hybrid-bikes/electric-hybrid-bikes/allant/allant-8/p/30197/

    Allant 9.9s rack bolt

    I was worried too, but it came off... no big deal... Just pull harder. 1) Remove screws 2) Pull plastic "bottom cap" off 3) remove long thin center cover

    Allant headlight blinking

    2020 Allant+ 8s. My LBS modified the light to be turn-affable by holding down the + button. I never turn it off. Sometimes my headlight is blinking (vs steady on). Anyone know how it decides to blink or stay on steady? Is there an ambient light sensor? Or maybe my wiring is loose 😬

    Allant Battery

    I have a 2020 Allant+ 8s. My commute is 10 miles each way. I've taken my bike to work everyday since I got it 6 weeks ago. If I ride in "turbo" mode at ~24MPH average speed, I use 30% of my battery each way. If I ride in "eco" mode at ~15 MPH, I use 10% of my battery each way.

    Using a leaf blower to dry bike

    Ha! I love the attitude! I used the leaf blower last weekend -- and I don't see how it could ever be a problem. I ran the leafblower for ~30 seconds. Then I used a towel for another 60 seconds to finish the job. But after reading Browneye's post I'm never doing that again... just go for a...

    Specialized Vado / Como, Class 3

    Six weeks ago I got an Allant+ 8s (28 MPH) to commute 10 miles each way. I haven't driven to work once since I got it -- it is so much fun. There is NO WAY I would buy a 20 MPH bike with what I know now. If Trek/Specialized wanted to donate a 20MPH bike I might consider taking it. Might...

    Allant 9.9s rack bolt

    I have the 8s. You can fix the taillight (I did). Take off the rear wheel. Remove two little philips head screws from the plastic piece at the bottom/rear of the fender. Slide out the long thin plastic "wire cover" that runs along the underside of the fender. That will reveal the screw used...
