The key locks in order to use it. When the battery is on, you cannot remove the key.
How about just cutting a piece out of the shipping box and placing it between the two bikes?
Mike there is a new online manual, v1.1 that your wife should have had emailed to her along with a"First Ride" video. If not, it has been posted here as well as the FB XP user group. Lots in information there about speed settings, key position, basic battery care and a lots of other helpful hints. BTW, top speed will only be 28 mph, laws etc. The only way to get more than 28 is to find a hack that works.
My current setup is Velcro straps around the tires when folded and the small $4. furniture pad from Harbor Freight. https://www.harborfreight.com/40-inch-x-72-inch-movers-blanket-47262.html
I’m going to pick up Velcro straps today. What length did you get for two bikes?
It sounds like you may have used Imperial rather than metric maybe? I was able to loosen and move it for adjusting and had no problem.
And I reserve the right to change my mind
Hi... Good info and input! My mission so far was outfitting "Dennis" that's his nameI've been playing with my bike for a couple of days off and on. Still only has 10 miles on it (raining lots lately)
I have an "early September" bike (actually delivered Oct 1) with limited options for changing computer settings.
I think I've settled on
P8 = 50
P11 = 1
P12 = 1
So far I've had no desire to change any of the settings that I can not change. Battery cutoff voltage is set (and locked) to 40v. That might be a little low if I actually thought I'd let the bike drain the battery very often. More likely I'll try to get home with a few bars remaining. In the rare case I might trigger low voltage shutoff, I think I'd like those last few amps more than I would value a few more battery cycles.
I set P11 and P12 both to 1 because I like the boost coming on as soon as possible, but I like that boost to come on gradually. If I want to accelerate faster I use throttle. I don't think I'll ever see 50km/hr (or even 45) except downhills, or if I change chain gear ratios. I think when I get my first flat tire in the rear, I will also switch out the freewheel for one with fewer teeth on small sprocket. So that will be an somewhat expensive flat tire. Who knows it may never happen
My energy meter changes more than I would like when I have been drawing high current for some time. I assume the "energy meter" is just a volt meter (perhaps smoothed???). I'll have to display volts next time I go out to see if they seem to track each other. I expect battery voltage to drop when high currents are being drawn. But the energy meter only seems to drop (then recover) after 10's of seconds of high draw. To me this is not a good thing. To me it indicates the battery resistance goes up during heavy use (or wires are too small). I like the fact I can monitor battery voltage and current draw in real time. I have no idea if they are accurate, but it is nice to have them.
The geometry of this bike is different than what I used to ride. So it took a little time to get used to it. But so far I'm having fun with it. Which was one of my goals
.The 2 pack at Walmart on the Velcro rack in the craft section $5.97 These are Velcro straps with buckles. I already had similar straps when they were in the camping section.
My order, #36xx makes no noises. Neither does my other order. I think they have been really watching the packing.Hi... Good info and input! My mission so far was outfitting "Dennis" that's his name
The other even more importantly was getting rid of squeaks rattles clunks and bangs. One of the noises that drove me crazy was a cracking sound occasionally sounded like frame breaking, scary, OCD,hahaha. Anyway turned out when I tightenef everything I over tightened in my mind the rear fender. What I ended up doing was removing a couple of the fender screws. Boy really tough to do with the tire in the way, and putting in a couple of small nylon washers. Oh my God the cracking noise is gone! One pedal arm was a tiny bit loose and created that click noise. I completely removed it cleaned it up and put it back on, that noise is gone. The headset was loose so I disassembled it and regreased everthing then tightened it up appropriately. Another noise was when the handlebars were pushed down in their lowest position it created a clicking noise as well. After moveing it up any amount the noise goes away. Then of course the famous battery in frame clunk. I just used the plastic shim that was in the box protecting the bike to keep it snug. For some reason one of the pedals made a clicking sound as well when pedaling I added a little bit of oil to it and it went away. I now have a bike that makes absolutely no noise other than that wonderful sound of the tires which I truly love. I have 635 km on mine in a little over a month-and-a-half. That's the kilometres based on the inaccurate odometer which I'm not overly concerned about. Realistically it's probably more like about 750 km on it. Tire wear is zero so far. I've been riding trails and roads going out in the pitch-dark with super bright headlight on and the one on the bike that I have a 20 watt replacement for but am awaiting one of the electrical connectors so I'm not cutting any wires. That's enough for now. I will get to the settings at some point. The only thing I've changed is put it in kilometres per hour and changed it to class three.
My two bikes #49xx came in perfect! No scratches or dents. Everything was tight and no noises! I was a little apprehensive with all the comments about pedals coming loose and falling off etc.
Short and sweet.
Angry? No. I kind of find the back and forth banter annoying though.
Thanks to your other posts, the very few noises I had I knew just what to do. The nylon washer in the front fender, I didn't even need to scratch my head on that rattle. Wish you had posted about the noisy brakes.Hi... Good info and input! My mission so far was outfitting "Dennis" that's his name

Those were Youtube University. And another thanks for the Accessories on AliExpress, having a ball getting the mail everyday, it like Christmas. Still lots of stocking stuffers coming.
