You are Iron-Erwin? ;) Seriously, I did not believe a 12V car battery would work under water until I saw it. Michael

Ursprung weight would hbe high so suspension performance will suffer considerably especially with an offroad bike. All the motorcycle all wheel drive system suffered from this so far .... Michael

Yes, it looked like a good idea until it wasn't and with RaceTorx being non responsive it is just a waste of time bothering with it. Michael

I had this happen when I had to replace my phone on my EX - the new phone had to be assigned to the bike by Stark support before it would work with my account. Michael

IMO balance isn't a concern here with the knobby tires usually seriously imbalanced anyway and speeds low. And it is hard to exactly drill the holes. Cutting is easier and as I said you keep the part for later to get more life out of the mousse. Actually you can also save the drilled out bits...

I'm having problems to take a company named "donut" battery for serious - seems like a joke/scam to me. For the video it seems like the exact same location as for the Verge motorcycle, just another guy talking - really doesn't seem legit to me? Michael

Good decision, it is just another no so well thought out product by RaceTorx. Not only that the technical implementation with clamping on a plastic throttle tube is just sketchy, the ergonomic side is basically unusable as well. Yes, you'll be able to move the bike forward but that's basically...

Today I pulled the mousse out of an Varg EX rear wheel with the Michelin 140/80-18 Medium. Now the Michelin got a lot of volume, usually more than the Metzeler, the mousse has a cross section circumference of ~310mm and says "made in Austria" on it so I assume it is an X-Grip EH2 - seems too...

It was pure coincidence. Usually I'm not a Mitas fan as I prefer control over pure traction and the Mitas tires always seem to have a rather soft, flexy carcass. But a friend recently recommended the EX MH 2x green and so I dug into the topic. The EX MH was formerly called the MX MH and therefor...

Considering the OP is in the US some of the options we have here in Europe might not be available or reasonably priced in the US. On the other hand I've heard good things about the IRC tires, but afaik they are hardly available in Europe so I've no experience with them. Since the Varg is heavier...

Yes, but the reports I've read were that the adapter was not unlocked which could lead to several issues, Don't forget the charging station provider has your data so you could be made liable for all kind of physical and financial damage if just leaving the adapter there. And if you call for help...

This doesn't seem to be as easy as hoped as many of the cheap Chinese adapters will not work with the public charging stations in Europe due to insufficient communication. There are some higher priced adapters +100€ that work well, but are bulky. Best option seems to build your own which is...

There's one additional thing to be aware of when dealing with RaceTorx. Usually UK companies should subtract VAT when shipping to customers out off country, but RaceTorx doesn't do that. Basically they charge you the same price as UK customers, keep the VAT as bonus and you have to pay your...

My trust in RaceTorx is a little shaken at the moment - tried to contact them via their website about my issue with the lock-on adapter, product is gone from the website but they never got back to me. Unfortunately this just confirms my restrained attitude towards dealing with UK companies since...

You insert the tip of the screwdriver into the latch and gently pry outward. This will unlock the cover and you can pull it off towards you. Michael
