    WOW! Rough ride ahead! All "Terms of Use" are modified

    Much appreciate the clarification and discovery of those terms....like I said, not a lawyer, but things are for sure going to change, and it's not going to be as it has been in the past. Having had extremely difficult past experiences to resolve multiple issues, I can say it was an uphill...

    WOW! Rough ride ahead! All "Terms of Use" are modified

    Without getting into a tizzy of a disagreement, I'll just say the intent is to make those aware who own their product may not have the level of support and longevity by the company, because their days may be numbered, and/or things may get more difficult to resolve. Again, my opinion.

    WOW! Rough ride ahead! All "Terms of Use" are modified

    Diminished support, potential end of the company if legal issues, budgets, etc., take their toll. The entire bike industry is in a doldrum, so they are making sure they can survive if the tables turn. Again, my opinion, much like BYD influencing the EV industry, auto manufacturers are headed...

    WOW! Rough ride ahead! All "Terms of Use" are modified

    I am not a lawer, but if you were to compare word for word from past to present, things have changed. More specifically: "These Terms contain a mandatory individual arbitration provision and class action waiver. This requires you to use arbitration on an individual basis to resolve disputes...

    WOW! Rough ride ahead! All "Terms of Use" are modified

    Ha, Ha, Ha! Look, I'm happy, zero issues, it took a while but they ultimately got it "right" for me anyway. Just like ANY other product, there are problems, issues, recalls, bankruptcies, etc., and me, me thinks that the ground work is being set for potential changes coming down the road and...

    2020 Vado 4.0, (2019-03-15 Vado/Como Production Date)-Question (ANT+/Bluetooth)

    Question re: locking bike and concern for vandalism

    Oh I make stink alright, I get shamed, banned, but there is really minimal acceptance for us bike owners to have a secure place to,leave them without worry. Just another layer of stress to daily life.

    Question re: locking bike and concern for vandalism

    I did that when I went to the doctors office, brought it up to the 3rd floor on the elevator, building maintenance scolded me and warned not to ever do it again. No winning. I used to bring it into the gym, then was told I couldn't. No winning.

    Question re: locking bike and concern for vandalism

    "Now. Would I pedal a 50 lbs e-bike unpowered? I actually did it for 10 miles upwind back in 2019" I did 5 miles last year, not something I'd like to relive.

    Question re: locking bike and concern for vandalism

    No simple easy answer, just putting it out there. Whether using an Abus frame lock, an associated auxiliary cable or chain, or an independent next to impossible locking system (it doesn't exist, I know), because the integrated display is a primary system component to turn on the bike, start it...
