@america94
well i was all set to go with the black but now that i have seen the red one i`m confused once again.... guess i should have not asked Benoit to share the pictures in the Teo tread.

I ordered the black Teo Limited so if you want to see it let me know.

That is just awesome, I would love to see it, let me know when @ Tim Horton ,my treat. Thank you.

I am hoping I will receive it Friday and then put it together. That may take some time as this will be first time I am doing this

No rush, first make sure to enjoy it.
Never done an ebike but I did take my Motorino electric scooter apart and managed to put it back together, if you need a hand...

It was too cold as it quickly went up to 30 and I wasn't prepared for the cold wind. Going shopping today

Just think of it as free A/C for the humid summer days.

Yes, I bought another helmet with less holes, another pair of gloves and goggles lol.

this maybe a little too late but if you`re planning on riding thru the winter it may help: http://eprider.com/?page_id=520

Thanks guys much appreciated. I actually already have a balaclava that I bought for riding motorcycle but never wore it because my helmet was too tight lol.

I went out for a quick ride (only 5km) had my tires pumped to 20 psi and there was quite a bit of rattling. I found the rear kick stand screw 80% out when I got home, tightened it., will try again later. What is surprising is that after 5km of riding my charger has been going for over 1 hr charging...
How long is it suppose to take to full charge if battery was say only 20% left?

@YYZ2017 you can always put a dab of this on the tread

Thanks, However, this is in the description:

• Use on metal fasteners 1/4' (6 mm) to 3/4' (19 mm) in diameter such as bolts on small engines, swing sets and furniture

I am assuming because of the torque required to "break" the loctite bond, anything less than 1/4' could cause the bolt to break?
I am not sure if it is safe to use for this application as the bolt could possibly be on the thinner side?

maybe there is a lighter "loctite"?

Benoit mentioned that the kickstand is, surprisingly, the one part that tends to loosen up. After tightening hard, did not budge in weeks. At 20%, expect a good 6 hours I guess. I never got that low so I can't confirm for sure.

6 hours? I guess that makes sense maybe even more @ 2A... maybe even more.

wow looks like I should shop for a faster charger....

@YYZ2017
You can always try Teflon tape.
The slower you charge your battery is much better for them than a fast charge.
