I did a couple freeway rides the other day on street tires (stock gearing, 18" rear), as long as you keep it under 65mph it doesn't tend to go into limp mode. But I definitely noticed as the battery gets lower, it is more likely to engage limp mode and when it does, it tends to be more...

Of course, if you wanted to just add an estimator for total range, that would be great too! My Zero has a surprisingly accurate estimator for each ride, but I still double check it because sometimes it is a little too optimistic. It will add 4 miles to the realistic range until you start getting...

I found it and have been using it and appreciate it! If it isn't too much trouble, if you could add one decimal to the trip meter. You recently said the data is measured in meters, so I would assume that wouldn't be hard to apply. I like to use the trip meter to mentally calculate the...

I was out in the middle of no where, getting ready for a trail ride. I had forgot I had locked the bike with the phone the night previously, because I wanted to see if there was any difference with the updated app. It locked quickly and I was hopeful. But when I went to unlock it - same thing as...

it was an OS message overlay, saying the bike was requesting pairing. I went to take a screenshot of it, but my phone had forgot/erased the bike, it seems. I reentered the PIN and now it is working fine.

I don't see any obvious indication. There is a number on it, 5A16X

Rode the bike yesterday and today while using the app. For some reason I now get a pairing message every 30 seconds. It wasn't doing before. Yesterday, it eventually stopped communicating, but then I noticed my headlight wasn't on, which usually means the VCU is glitching. After turning it off...

It is the type of master cylinder that determines whether you can do it the old fashion way or not. Length of hose and size of calipers don't matter. I had the same problem with my KTM clutch - you could bleed that thing all day long, it would never get a lever.

I tend to run 60-70% regen on the trails, I basically use the regen as my rear brake. Most of the time I don't notice any difference on battery life, but one time I was riding at a new place I had never been that had really steep trails and I got further out than I was expecting. I was seriously...

I had no luck bleeding the rear brake the old fashion way. Had to push fluid through the caliper to get a decent lever. A lot of master cylinders on newer bikes are finicky and just won't work without it.

I'm printing a new one now, but in hind site, I probably should have just made a test print that has the groves for the holder as long slots so you can just slide the phone back and forth to find the perfect spot, mark it and then reprint it with the slots in the correct spot. Oh well, at least...

I only lock the bike maybe once or twice a week. And I find it frustrating every time. It definitely takes patience. You select lock or unlock bike and then you need to just stand there and take in the flowers nearby. Maybe check tomorrows weather on your phone. Even though nothing changes on...

While I was waiting for my EX, I saw the fast charger was $600, which I was impressed, that was a pretty good price. I bought an aftermarket 3.3KW charger for my Zero a year ago, custom connectors and what not for $550. But now they want $1100 for the same EX charger. I'm assuming that is...

I stole Bernardo's iPhone 3D print and modified it to fit the bigger Pixel9, and it fits great. Unfortunately, the wireless charging for the phone has a very small hitbox. I need to shift everything over roughly 10mm and hopefully that will make the phone charging happy. But regardless of the...

Off the freeway, I get around 6 to 7 miles per 10%, but it isn't uniform, it depends on the SoC. It tends to get worse the lower your SoC is. I am just comparing to the EV bike that I'm very familiar with as a baseline, which is a 2022 Zero FX that I have about 11K miles, which has a smaller...
