Front End Wobble, Worse with Range Extender In my case since my handlebars were set to be higher (meaning almost 90% as Eddie shows here:) Adding full panniers made the front end wobbly, and adding the range extender made it worse. By moving the panniers down on the range extender, I fixed...

It is only 9 lbs, but with Current Battery Range Extender battery attached (as oposed to left at home) to the rack, if I give the frame a shake from the seat post the rear wheel and frame oscillate when I shake the bike from the seat. I am trying to figure out if this is something wrong with...

New handlebars - brake cables worked, but will still get the left side one extended a bit, as you suggested. Next stop, front suspension:-)

Really loving my current and also really wanted a more upright seating position. I spoke with the folks at Rivendell Bicycle Works who helped me pick out the Nitto Bosco Bars, adapter to match the size of the OEM handlebar faceplate, t9 spray to oil teh inside to prevent rusting. dnallohdivad...

This thread captures some of what I've been working on with my Priority Current - some muscle pain related to adjusting the handlebars and seat height leading me down the path of ordering new handlebars base on my best guess. I just stumbled across this video of Mary Spender (proofofsweat)...

Thanks!

Thanks for the heads up - the guys at rivendell (they sold me the Bosco handlebars) also warned me that I would probably need to extend them so it'll be my chance to figure out hydraulic brakes :-). Which forks did you end up getting specifically? SO many options in their fork glossary :-)

Nice! I'm swapping to a new handlebar to make the ride more "upright". The fork looks like it'll be my next big upgrade :)

Really interested to see what you do here.

Any dealers in the boston area? Who makes the motor? How "upright" is the riding position? Also - LOVE the frame mounted front basket. Any other options for that mount point? How much weight will it hold?

this is what I was referencing: https://www.specialized.com/bo/en/sl-range-extender-battery/p/173733?searchText=98920-5640&color=273576-173733 but I think you are right and this is not for this bike :-(.

Also, the extended ranger that goes low and in the center of the frame is really nice.

Thanks for the information - I got the different models confused. I have to say (as a happy Priority Current Owner) that the Specialized Turbo Vado 5.0 IGH at $3,999 (current price at specialized) would make me take a look.

Is it true that the battery on the Vado 5.0 can not be removed to charge?

Though I've not seen one in the wild, this has a belt option and looks like it may scratch you itch: https://wattwagons.com/products/hound

The waterproof ones seem to still be available. If you are looking for the backpack one it is still available at Paragon - only 4 left :-(.

That looks great - if you get a chance the parts would be great!

4: I've the priority 174 Hudson Waterproof packs and they are great! (should have mentioned that, sorry :-/). Re. the topeak - I think if you are willing to put some time into it it could be made to work. 6: You are right - I am unjustly grump about this one as it's apparently not unusual...

I have the range extender and I like it, but a few things to note about the range extender and it's nonstandard rack: 1. the rear upward flip is a bit of a problem for adding things like trailer hitches. 2. It's too wide for the topeak adapters, only quick release rack adapters I have found to...

MoJoe posted some photos of a cafe lock in another thread :-).
