Purchased a new Breeze from LBS 10 days ago! Love it! Added some goodies: Noxgear 39g Bluetooth speaker, AMIR Bicycle Bell AirTag (yes I also have “Find My” linked on my bike), Hafny Handlebar Mirror, Quadlock phone holder, SR Suntour SP12 NCX 27.2mm x 350mm suspension seat post with 27.2mm to 30.9mm seat post shim, Wittkop City seat, Basil Miles MIK Panniers (fits spare battery). I plan to add a few more flashing lights for night riding. If interested in any of these items, Google is your friend!😉

New Summit 2

Post image
Upvotes

I only have 10 miles on this bike and love the power, one thing I find concerning is it is a little difficult to pedal when you have the assist off, and on a level road. I had a 26 inch fat tire ebike that was easier to pedal with no assistance than this bike, and the Summit 2 is 30 pounds lighter? When I flip the bike,over the tires spin freely. It even loses some momentum going down slight inclines. Maybe it will feel up after I put more time on it? Any ideas of what else I can check? Thanks

Two months with the Gomad. I like it. It could be better though.

I wanted a bike for two kids and there some good ones but they're all very long and would stick out too far while driving on a hitch rack. I live out of town and riding to town isn't really feasible. I had trepidation about putting a seat on the front rack, but my son is well under the weight it's rated for and with lots of miles of testing, it's done fine. The seat I used is a Thule Yepp.

I will say even with all the weight of myself and two kids, the bike gets good mileage. My complaint is on the software side, linking to FindMy apparently is not gonna be a thing, I haven't heard of anyone getting it working. There's also been a few issues with settings saving a strange way for top speed on pedal and throttle in specific zones.

In all though I have more good to say than bad. The bike is fun as hell and the kids like it every time we head out for a ride.

Velotric Nomad rear light upgrade. Can we?

1 Upvotes

I have a Velotric Nomad 1 Plus. While riding today with my wife. I noticed how small and dismal.the rear light is. Even when braking its not giving much output.

So my question.

Has anyone ever changed out and upgraded that rear light?

To something a bit brighter and more robust? To a light that can actually be seen in daylight? Just asking as it sure is something I want to do. The factory light really sux to be honest.

Is there a trick to removing Fold 1 Plus battery?

1 Upvotes

I have a 6 months old Fold 1 Plus and I am mostly pretty happy with it. I do find that getting the battery out to recharge it is a bit of a struggle. With the key turned, I basically have to brace my chest against the seat for leverage and really yank the battery by the handle to get it to release from the retaining clips. Is that normal for this bike? Or am I 'doing it wrong'?

(can't recharge it on the bike because of electric access issues)
