Anyone have rusty rotors ? Bit surprised after only 7 months use whereas my Scott rotors are still good after 4 years and similar use ??

Just as a data point, 8kms at 100/100 on a flat route today used 23%, so assuming 90% battery availability then range of 31kms from the main battery.

Any views on real world range for a Vado SL 4.0EQ ? First real test today and only got 22 miles (35km) going from 100% to 12%. I admit it was a mix of mid and turbo with a few hills but mainly flat or slight incline. I will think about range extender but I just thought it would be a lot...

Great - can you just confirm that you only need the 8mm hex to get the crank arm off. It looked like you needed a special spline tool so I didn't want to go too far !! Also am I correct that to remove its anti-clockwise on the chainring side ??

Thanks for that - very helpful and got a reasonable idea of what I might do.

Thanks - I want to operate both but hopefully might get a DPST switch to work

Rochrunner - can I ask if this controlled both front and rear lights or just the front ? Difficult to see from the wiring

New Vado SL and the one thing I would like to change is to have a light switch !! I have seen the post re fitting a switch - https://forums.electricbikereview.com/threads/headlight-switch-for-vado-sl.51329/ - but I would like to turn both off, not just the front one, so I could do with...
