Hi all, Dave here.
I am 62 and still think me and the boys on the block started BMX in the late 60’s! Ha!! Now the gals are leaping over our heads. Never lost the art of simply riding backwards but then some challenges not on canvas! I ride a SLR6, and a Fuel EX. If it weren’t for the passion!
Not so new to e-bike world but do not ride one yet. I still cannot think I cannot attack the hills although as the Baby Maker ad goes...!!
My wife has a Specialized Levo E-MB. We wanted to put her into an enjoyment mode when we ride. It boosted her appreciation level. I think about a 2017 which has been a really cool and solid bike.
we just brought home a 2020 Edmonda with a Fazua Evation 1.0. NOT A FAN!
The bike cannot be better suited however we tried to ride Friday then Saturday of the Jul 4 weekend however attempt of ejecting the battery when getting the bike home, to charge proved fatal. The flip release pin popped right out of it’s cradle. I had to pry open the strike with a flat blade screw driver, then remove the lock system via 4, star-drive screws. This needs to be done by inverting the bike (best on a table).
Well after resetting the steal pin into it’s plastic cradle I still was not liking the look of engineering on this. To say the least it continued to pop out of the cradle each time. After a number of frustrating research hours and in the meantime being able to apply an (engineering) standard of battery release We are currently waiting until Tuesday for the shop to open to run that direction first.
The only reading I have seen on this young company’s product is the malfunctioning push button battery release button which has also presented problems for some.
This is 2020 folks. Relying on this type of engineering standard from this group and being used in world class bicycles, more than probably needs a better R&D department or maybe the bike companies need to be more involved with statement to their standard.
After all, who is paying for this “stuff”?
Other thoughts?
Thanks for reading.
