    XP Lite Max Charge Rate?

    I just received two XL Lite bikes, and I'd like to charge them using a better charger than the included 2A chargers. I already have a Grin Technologies Cycle Satiator programmable charger, and I'd like to know what the max charge amperage the BMS can handle in the 48V 7.8AH battery pack. 3A? 4A...

    Help diagnose Jetson bolt charging failure

    My son has a Jetson bolt that he rides to school. It won’t charge and I am trying to determine the cause. He rode it every day last week and it charged fine until last night. The light on the charger stays green at all times and I don’t see the normal voltage change on the bike when I plug the...

    Vado SL 5.0 - lights go on when charging - how to turn them off?

    When I charge my 2021 Vado SL 5.0, the headlight and tail light both go on and stay on until charging is complete. I assume this is correct behavior, but I am wondering if there is a way to turn the lights off during charging. Thanks!

    Map of Free Charging Outlets in NYC?

    I am wondering whether a resource exists that maps out the free (or paid, I suppose) ebike charging outlets throughout NYC. If it does not exist, I'm wondering whether it's something that could be produced easily enough, and perhaps for more cities. To make a quick example of what it could look...

    Choosing which Satiator to purchase

    I just purchased the Bulls Lacuba e45 and have been commuting approx. 36 miles a day on it. I've been having to carry the charger with me to top back up to 80% so I can make the trip home in the evening. I'm a little worried that I'll damage the charger in my pannier so I've decided it's time to...

    Pictures of an E-Bike Adventure

    With our new e-bike issues resolved, my partner & I are greatly enjoying peddling further, faster and higher than we ever would without peddle assist. Thought I'd share a few pictures from the weekend. With charged batteries we peddle assisted from home to get up, up the 2500 hills to see the...

    915miles in 45days = 32charge cycles

    I just checked at the shop - my Base Turbo has 32 charge cycles after 900 miles in 45 days. I have 2 chargers between the office and home and depending on the wind, my 21.5mile commute (one way) leaves me with 10%-40% on full Turbo - I don't bother with ECO unless it forces me at below 20%...
