What is the max pressure the forks can take?Just curious as to the shock pressure you set. I saw 180 recommended for my weight. It is currently at 150 ...
The Spec sheet for the RST Renegade shock doesn't say. There is a pressure recommendation listing for RST shocks but the Renegade isn't listed, That guide has either 140 or 150 listed as max air pressure so my 150 is probably at or slightly above the max pressure recommendation. I'm going to drop it down to 140 just to be safe.What is the max pressure the forks can take?

Good find, looks like I need to drop it to 94 PSI ...I found this online. Could be a good reference
i those marks are for if it’s set as 1 thing or the other. You can use the IGH for a few different set ups I can’t remember exactly what they are. Something else I looked through also but can’t remember exactly what it said. It’s online though so you may find it too as that’s how I found it. Red for one yellow for the other lining up with the yellow on the other side. Mine has a hand scratched mark that’s in between to two that lined up when it’s in 2nd gear. Cable stretching should be able to be sorted from the wee nut the cable goes through as it enters the trigger shifter. I gave mine a quarter turn one way or the other after a few miles and it sorted for the cable settling. You may or may not have to do it. It’s on this thread somewhere. I have my shock at 90 PSI and the rebound almost in the middle with a couple extra click towards +. I’ll prob just change that on the fly if I’m on the road or off road. I’ve found the PSI of the tyres really affects the ride but I’ll play more when we get better weather here. It’s like an ice rink outside just now and dark at 4 pm ish. Have a closer look on the moving side of you IGH, you may have a wee scratch mark too or it may just be whoever built my bikes way of setting it up. I’m sure for adjusting you start in 2nd gear then click through to 5th and adjust if needed and then repeat and so on till it trues up. Real happy your getting some pleasure from your bike now instead of sore heads. Get them miles in brother!Yesterday I got caught out in a drizzly rain and cut the ride short to 25 miles. I tried Sport mode, unlocked the controller speed limit and there was a noticeable jump in power but it was always smooth in it's application. The bike continues to impress with it's handling and in particular the IGH. I am very careful to stop pedaling when shifting and very seldom use throttle so it has been smooth and solid shifting every time. The 5 gears are more than enough with 1st and 2nd able to handle the steepest grades with little pedal effort and it certainly gets a lot of looks and comments as I ride (all positive so far). The one oddity is the IGH adjustment marks. There are clear red and yellow lines on the IGH with the closest alignment in high (5th) gear. They get farther apart as I shift down so I have no idea which is the index gear. Since it is operating great now, I'm not too worried about it but the cable will stretch and it would be nice to know the index gear and mark the ideal position as was demonstrated in the Biktrix SA IGH adjustment video. Honestly, I would prefer the twist shifter used in the Biktrix video vs the supplied trigger shifter. That is something I will consider as an upgrade in the future. Here is a photo of the IGH marks as described.

My bikes were picked up from the port on the 30th. I was told to give them a few days after new years to unload the shipping containers at world depot. FedEx will pick it up and deliver it about 30 mins away so maybe by the end of the week!Any bikes due to be delivered this week?

That’s awesome news brother! I hope you get sooner than later! I’m delighted bikes are being delivered. RMK can back me up with how much fun your all about to have!My bikes were picked up from the port on the 30th.

Yes indeed. I'm not sure I would have ordered this bike or put up with all the delays, if it were not for the demo ride at Bolton 7 months ago.That’s awesome news brother!

38 miles is not the 60-80 miles promised by the manufacture. What PAS you used ?Yes indeed.
I'm not sure I would have ordered this bike or put up with all the delays, if it were not for the demo ride at Bolton 7 months ago. I just finished 38 miles in mild weather with about 12 miles on a dirt single track trail ECO mode and no throttle. It is more fun to ride the Batbike on dirt trails for sure. Wish I had some fire roads near me. I had 20% battery left at the end. I think my next purchase will be a 3rd battery plus an extra charger. That seems to be the only way I'll get to 60 miles in a day.
That data will have been taken on a rolling road with everything set to “perfect” then doubled!38 miles is not the 60-80 miles promised by the manufacture. What PAS you used ?
Since when have manufacturers battery range estimates been accurate and I had 20% left on the battery. I always sprint the final leg home so the battery level dropped quite a bit in the last mile. As soon as I plugged it in to charge the meter said 24%. I was using PAS 5 the whole time and I was pedaling hard so using more juice. I know I could eek out a few more miles if I adopted a more leisurely riding style but I want to ride my way There are so many variables like my being 6'5" 210lbs plus the way I ride so I'm not sure anyone else's numbers would be relevant. I'm going to get that extra battery because I don't want to have to think about it. Just ride.38 miles is not the 60-80 miles promised by the manufacture. What PAS you used ?
RMK, does Leilli sell the battery or you buying it from another supplier?Since when have manufacturers battery range estimates been accurate and I had 20% left on the battery.

I’m sure when I decided to get the second battery it was an extra £200. That was when getting it as an add on to the bike I was buying. I don’t know what they’d charge just buying one on its own, if you got it for 200 quids that would be a more than awesome price. Maybe the sooner to you just buying a bike from them and all the hassle you’ve had getting it will sweeten the deal.RMK, does Leilli sell the battery or you buying it from another supplier?
Funny you should ask:RMK, does Leilli sell the battery or you buying it from another supplier?
