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...

I have a set or dirt rims and street rims, this was with the street tires. I was sitting straight up.

The Zero is about 30% more efficient on the freeway than the Varg, so no, they are not all the same.

Just wanted to post an update on range. I finally had a chance to ride on the freeway for an extended ride. Did about 70 miles total. As I suspected, the EX is really inefficient at highway speeds, even more so than other electric bikes. I started at 92% battery and never let it get over 60mph...

I know this is beta, but I downloaded the Android version, the text seemed oversized and I tried reducing the global text size but it didn't seem to change it. (I'm old, but not that old!). I will be making a 3D print for my Pixel 9, I'll post it when I finish it.

IMO, the only reason to get a wide rear tire is for a better profile for cornering. The bike is so light, it doesn't really matter how much torque you have, you're just lifting the front tire. I put a 140 on the rear and have never lost traction even for a millisecond on the street.

I have dirt tires (original) and street tires. The dirt tire has a bit of a wobble on the road. There is no wobble at all with the street tires. I just assumed it was the relatively aggressive nobbies on the front tire. I don't ride on the street very often with the dirt tires, so never looked...

I was thinking about this post while riding my EX the other day. I definitely notice the gear whine is louder with regen/decel. I also notice the noise changes depending on temperature. For example, on a 80 degree day, cruising at 30 mph, I get an annoying whine. But it is only at that speed...

I thought it was well known how horrible those tubes are. I never rode the bike with them. I had already set up a spare set of rims and tires ready to go and swapped them out while assembling the bike.

Wasn't suggesting it didn't work on gas bikes (the video makes it pretty clear it works just fine)
