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 the other 1/2. Unfortunately, lowering the pannier on the range extender rack means I cannot use the range extender (photo)

I am adding this solution from @6zfshdb in this thread:https://forums.electricbikereview.com/threads/current-battery-extender.53433/post-611763 to fix it:

By changing the handlebars (a second time :-/) to a backward sweeping pair, I was able to set the handlebar back to all the way forward, which fixed the other 1/2 the problem - I used SATORI NOIRETTE CLASSIC Trekking Commuting Bike Bicycle Aluminium Alloy Swept Back Flat Handlebar 31.8x550mm - Rise 43mm - Sweep 70 Degree and they did not require any cable changes.

(I sent all this, including the stuff below, to Priority):
In addition, the range extender has a raft of problems which I hope to see fixed in a future version:
1. the rear upward flip is a problem for adding trailer hitches.
2. It's too wide for the topeak adapters, or other adapters. The only quick release rack adapters I have found to work are the MIK and the UKLIP.
3. Because of the lip, I needed to cut 1/4 inch thick aluminum and add layers to get things like my Burley Travoy rack to work
4. My Ortlieb Gravel Pack Panniers do not work on the range extender; I have not tried other Ortlieb panniers.
5.The extra 10 lbs, along with other things in the back (e.g., my laptop, and clothes), change the bike's handling.
6. They are parasitic to the main battery, so you need to pop the main battery out if you store it for any length of time. Honestly, this feels like lazy engineering. It's pretty easy to fix with a cutoff switch.

Has anybody gotten error 30 on their Current? I've been riding mine daily since 2021 and after chatting with support they're telling me I need a new motor or need to get my current motor repaired. Wanted to know how long I can put this off before damaging other parts of my bicycle. I'm waiting for other parts to come in for my backup bicycle before repairing the motor on this one. Even though there's an error I can still ride it with all the assist levels available and the light controls. The only data that isn't displaying is my speed which I rarely pay attention to and the odometer. TIA

If it ain't broke leave it alone. Run it till it breaks.
