Need your advice about warranty

[rich c]

Rich, with that many bikes, I've no doubt you have alot of personal experience and expertise to share. I've just seen one too many forum posts where folks advise newcomers to the sport and hobby to just start probing for voltage at their battery and I think it foolish advice to offer someone, not knowing their level of experience in working around batteries or volt-ohm meters; let alone probing around their own, brand new with warranty, ebike battery. On my own Yamaha drive Haibike, my trust is in that little display that says how many bars I have left and how much battery percentage is remaining. Unlike your Bosch, I have 3 female connectors at the base of the battery. Not one of them is marked. And as everyone here with some miles under their ebiking belt knows, when a BMS is shorted out, chances are you just ate a 900-1000 dollar battery. For the great majority of the ebikers here, the display is good enough as to advise the rider about the state of his or her battery.

I'll stand by my advice here as well, Rich, with respect to your contributions on our little forum here.

To Tonton: If this is my bike, I'd charge her up to full. Lock the battery on the bike and go for a ride using your various assist levels. It will take a good many rides using the various assist levels as well as using your gears to find that sweet spot in Ebike battery economy. It's part of the fun of ebiking, too, trying to see how many miles you can get after one charge.

Forget about the throttle for now, and just ebike with an eye at your assist levels & gear change combinations and I really think you will find that the bike is working just fine. Looking at that review by Court and I think you have a very nice bike for the amount of money you paid for it.

Keep us informed and welcome to the forum!

With your insistence the owner never check circuitry or battery level, I pity the ones that buy from an internet only bike importer if the LBS that will not work on an imported brand. They will have purchased an expensive boat anchor.

The OP states he got 17 miles and the 15 miles on his ride which works out to be roughly 32 miles/50 km. I'm happy to get 40km/ 24 miles on my Voltbike Bravo in PAS level 9 with a 14,5 Ah battery. Never used the lowest PAS levels to see what kind of range is possible, Then again it's only 6km from one side of town to the other so range is not an issue for me

I am happy with the distance which my bike achieve, I am just surprised about shutting by itself issue when the battery is at half. It is my first electric bike, and I was expecting to use it until battery shows %10. For this reason I want to take your opinions. I wasn’t familiar with the technological background. When you bought a smart phone or laptop, you expect to use it till battery shows %1. I was assuming same thing for my bike too. If I know the limits of it, I can enjoy more. Today I am planing to test pedal assist and gear change combinations like Mike and others suggested
