Agree Frank, I live in Montreal and try very hard to avoid busy roads but unfortunately we still have to use roads in places just to get to the bike paths.

I don’t have a diflopulator, but they seem to be cheap and once it’s connect and adjusted, u forget about it, I assume.

Fun that this post is still active. I like the idea of the deflopulator. I’ve tried a bungee, it works but gets in the way. my handle bar is pretty full with a loud siren, bell, phone holder etc. I was also a bit afraid it might come unhooked and hit me right in the naughty bits. Ouch. The neat...

I replaced the spokes and brake disk and everything is fine now. I rode a lot in the Fall but now winters set in Montreal and its hard to get the bike out of my basement and across deep snow in the back yard so the bikes hibernating for a while. Plus I found in quite cold conditions, -10 ish it...

BlackFlash, I don’t think the bikes are assembled in NA, in fact not sure what Rize in Vancouver or California do other than just forward the Bikes to us. The parts supply chain is probably quite different. But for me, last Sept, they were happy just to send me the damaged parts (spokes & brake...

Ahh you may have identified a problem I had in the cold weather, well below zero C. I set off from a junction and there’s no power, it feels as if the motor is turned off. But the display is on and all looks normal (didn’t check voltage). After struggling for 10 or more revolutions, the motor...

Havent had chance to do any long trips, were thick in the middle of a winter storm in Montréal, so I won’t be trying today:-) I need to find the time to do one long trip but that won’t be for a couple months. My impression is that it’s non linear, you seem to get incredible mileage when the...

Thanks for your feedback. I’ll have to try it again and get a few more details then ping Rize.

Just took my Rize RX 2021 out in Montréal in -12c (-20 with the wind) every thing seemed to work well until I got the a junction and had to stop. I had to apply a lot of torque to get going again. I thought for a while it had switched off the motor assist but it did eventually fire up after...

Ok well as expected, it’s definitely not linear. I’ll note down the bat % and distance, see how it pans out

Montreal, three small mountains and a hill down to the Lachine canal which leads to a huge array of bike paths

I did 30 kms today and the total battery level was 95% at the end. Mainly level ground with a long hill at the end. Level 1 (out of 9 levels) all the time but barreling along at 30 kph for a lot of the time. But at this rate, I should be able to do an amazing 600 kms. But I doubt its linear, on...

The response from Rize Tech Support is that it doesn't matter, ON or OFF but best to switch it OFF for safety reasons

I find for around town on a flat cycle paths, its too powerful, I often just set it to level 0 for slow cycling. It seems to function best at 30 Kph in top gear. I also find that most of the time I'm using level 1 (1 of 9 levels set) but interestingly I think it operates more smoothly set to...

You maybe right, I did plug it in and it did eventually charge. But the charge state is not visible if you turn the switch to off. So I wasn’t sure if it had charged in the ON star or OFF state. Anyway I pinged Rize, we’ll see what they say

Just sent a request to Rize, odd that they provide no documentation with the battery. I’ll report back.

Just received my spare battery for my 2021 RX. Its the same power as the original 15 Ah, 52V but it has an on/off switch. My question, during charging, should the switch be on or off or does it matter?

Received the new front disk and replacement spokes. I found a back alley bike shop who did all the fixes and checked the wheel. Alls good now. I bought a new bell, well worth it, you can hear it a mile away.

I don't see any new comments on "2021 Rize Models" experiences so I'll just close out by saying my experience has been great. The front wheel that was damaged in shipping is now fixed. Rize quickly sent new spokes and rotor (I requested this approach, I didn't want the hassle of returning the...

Ahh ah good point Explorer-1, spokes seem a bit thicker than my road bike but maybe true of Mountain Bikes with honking big tires also. Thanks good thought.
