    Can I add USB charging to my 700?

    Neither display nor throttle has an accessible connector. How dumb would it be to patch a USB connector onto the throttle 5v positive and negative wires near where they enter the throttle unit?

    Can I add USB charging to my 700?

    Recording my ride drains my phone battery quickly, and I'd pefer if I could charge while riding. I have a small external phone battery, but I'd have to add yet another thing to my handlebars. Can I add USB charging to my 700 somehow? An aftermarket display with a USB port? Splicing a charger...

    Small display and power quirks on my 700

    I did a similar hill and lower PAS levels starve the motor of power to get up steeper hills. Higher PAS is always better for hills. As I now understand it, the PAS levels are wattage limits and maximum speed limits. I wish I could program the controller so that PAS levels limit the...

    Small display and power quirks on my 700

    I mean the motor shut down, not that it delivered insufficient power. I was pedaling and had it on PAS 1 because it seemed to have more trouble at higher levels, but I might have been confused.

    Small display and power quirks on my 700

    If you are pedaling when the display turns on, it will boost aggressively for a few seconds, even though the display starts on level 0. If I ride evenly until the battery runs out, the charge percentage display was on 100% for about the first third of the distance. Sometimes the charge...

    How to get fast, steady acceleration from start on the 700

    Same has happened to me. I'm quickly getting used to the boost, so sometimes I will pedal just enough to turn it on, but stop so it lasts a second or two.

    New LMT’d - who’s in?

    I wish each Ride1up could be customized with racks, fenders and lights, and with cafe or straight handlebars.

    How to get fast, steady acceleration from start on the 700

    The brakes have a motor cutoff switch. From years of riding unmotorized bikes, I have habituated myself to gear down whenever I might stop soon, since starting from too high a gear is really really slow. But to change gears I have to pedal, and that activates PAS, which boosts me right at the...

    How to get fast, steady acceleration from start on the 700

    I'm definitely overthinking it. I wanted to get the same "push off" feel I get on my lightweight road bike. But the motor is so much better than pedaling at acceleration from stopped. So I've been shifting down to 4th gear, and pedaling just enough to keep the PAS on until that gets me up to...

    How to get fast, steady acceleration from start on the 700

    I just got the Ride1up 700, which has a 500W Shengyi geared rear hub motor, cadence sensor, 7 pedal gears, and thumb throttle. The bike is great, and plenty powerful, but I'm having trouble finding a sequence of PAS level shifts, gear shifts, throttling and pedaling, that accelerates the bike...
