I did find the setting in the manual but didn't really try it out.

Unfortunately I don't have many hills where I live, the one I do for all of my reviews is in this second video ruclips.net/video/PpgoQ3mxaWw/видео.html. I do a bunch of range testing as well, I got between 28 miles @ 20+mph and 52 miles @15mph, of range. Since you live somewhere hilly, you'd get a bit less. I don't do many long term reliability video's.

A drum brake is typically very smooth and quiet. I have ridden a few scooters with anti-lock brakes and I find it very annoying. I am not really sure if that is an issue or a new feature, I'd reach out to UScooters and ask.

I don't have them saved anywhere unfortunately and don't have the bike. Best of luck!

If you mean trailer recommendations I highly recommend Burley's. I have a old dog trailer I got for cheap that I plan to convert to haul cargo. Cheers

I sure wish I could but they are all sold now!

I didn't have any flats, I don't plan to do long term reliability testing. Hopefully some others will respond with long term experiences.

I bought one and the rear tire goes flat all the time actually everytime b4 a ride so I have to pump up b4 I go for a ride.

@@KAnyeDAWay Sounds like a pin hole leak or valve stem. I'd try some soapy water and get a tubeless patch kit (plugs). If it is holding air enough for a ride, it is likely an easy fix.

I think they did it for the weight, high end carbon bikes use this same style of stem/bar system. Maybe they will include a bar upgrade package in the future?

Nice, what part of Oregon are you in? Native Oregonian here!

Possible yes, simple no.

Haha, keepin' it real! Cheers

I am 5'10" with a 32" inseam, I would call Ride1up and ask, personally I should have went smaller.

I'd take steel personally, let's go back to something good!

Of course, happy to help, did you guy one of these scooters?

I didn't order it, I got it to review, so I can't say, they come when they come!

Mine took about two weeks

I thought it had tube tires?

​@@paulwheeler567not mine, definitely tubeless with the sealed stem.

​@@ElectronSurfer they are tubless tiress?

Awesome, to me a low power hub motor is not great on hills, the mid-drive system on the Prodigy would be much better. I guess it depends on your riding style but personally I would not go the CF Racer route for hills.

@@ElectronSurferThanks for the helpful advice. I’ll keep researching my options.

That is a good idea but with so many different bike headtube sizes that can be problematic. I think they should design a quick release axle version, I think they could do it with the small 250-watt setups. The kit did drop right into one of my 20" wheel bikes fork dropouts. Do you have this kit or are you thinking about getting one?

@@ElectronSurfer I would have considered it until you said the word, "Dremel." I don't want to modify my bike in any way that will keep me from going back to stock.

Of course, happy to do it. Thanks for commenting!

I actually did a second video talking about the grips and seatpost with links, ruclips.net/user/shorts6JIaf2-NFko. I like the Ergon Biocork grips really well and the Mirrycle mirrors are the best I have found amzn.to/4bMHUu2. Thanks!

ok

I had long recharge times with this scooter, 10-11 hours for me.

I don't know if they make one long enough. I tend to use a 27.2mm post and then buy the shim needed for my bike, that has let me use the same post on multiple bikes.

I really don't know, I suggest reaching out to Ride1up, I don't have the bike any longer. I thought about a fork change but honestly got a little lazy. Thanks

@@ElectronSurfer Thank you. I called them today but after a long wait on hold I got sent to voice mail. Upon looking at the videos online the tolerances around the fenders look really tight, so I doubt it would fit tires wider than 2 inches. It looks like an easy bike to ride and very efficient but probably not the best bike to take off pavement.

For me grabbing the Jackery is way easier than dragging around an extension cord when I am shooting for longer than the camera battery lasts. Plus there is less to trip over.

I got 10.6 miles to no battery left and tried to maintain 15 mph as much as I could.

@@ElectronSurfer I’m wondering if I should retune the g2 plus gotrax I got and grab this one.. I’m still a lil worried tho bc the g2plus was supposed to go 7 miles and maxes out at 2 miles😭😭

That's a short range, I find that about half of advertised is normal so I'd take what range you need an look for a scooter advertising over twice that.

I would do the ride and see what range of gears you actually use on your hybrid to see if this bike will work. The CF Racer 1 will only make it a little easier so you would likely still have to shift the same amount and only you know if the number of gears will work, I don't live in a hilly area. I would never turn the motor off completely, if you want to do that you can save 10 pounds and get a non-powered carbon bike.

I totally agree for transportation, especially for how efficient in energy and space they are, the electric scooter is awesome. Glad to hear it is working so great for you on the island, the best is riding past people stuck in their cars! Mahalo!

@@ElectronSurfer I steath ride meaning i stay away from cars and pedestrians. When there's a pedestrian coming my way, I swerve onto the road. When theres a car coming near me, i swerve onto the sidewalk. To the cars and the pedestrians, I'm never near them (most of the time).

I found them on Amazon for a little color while organizing the wires, amzn.to/3X32Vwb.

interesting suggestion, thanks!

I have never seen it use less, but single mode doesn't use very much, if any, less.

That is fair, it will be the scooter that will make you want to buy a nicer one!

Happy to help out, let me know how you like it!

Yep, that's the home loop. Definitely a solid bike for the mostly flat trails around here. Cheers

@@ElectronSurfer Was thinking about buying. Are you implying that it's not so good on hills? I've ridden that trail a couple times from Sac to Folsum and back. Nice ride indeed. Thanks!

I think I said it straight out vs implying! I don't think a low power hub motor is the right option for hills, a mid-drive is soo much better. It will give you some help so depending on how you ride it could work but the motor will be easily overworked.

The magnet setting is totally goofy, I don't even know what it actually connects to, i should connect to the hall sensors to ensure the motor runs smooth. 4km off isn't bad for these displays, I usually play with the tire diameter to try to get closer to the actual speed.

Great I know some other folks that commute on this scooter and it really holds up, cheers!

I don't know about the S2 or S3 denominations, it was only called the GT 2020 at the time of review.

It's a Bike Friday Haul-a-day. Under 40lb full capacity cargo bike, maybe not the best use in hindsight. I plan to put on another 20" wheel bike but wish the speed limits could be split apart better.

@@ElectronSurfer nice looking cargobike. I am currently riding my first ebike, a Dahon K-One Mid-Drive. Purchased second hand for $500. I really like the portability and 20" wheels are fun, like riding BMX again. That said, I am already preparing to flash the motor with open source firmware. I am also interested in doing my own conversion. Your videos are fun and inspirational.

@@ElectronSurfer can you please clarify what you "speed limits" set apart better means?

@@edwinreidel1889 The first speed limit doesn't cut out until 16 mph when fully charged. That means it is always trying to push you up to that speed as long as you are pedaling. The speed limits all are between 15 and 20 mph, when having them spread apart, say starting at 6 or 8 mph, would make for a much useable kit in my opinion.

I found it pretty intuitive, but I could see it not being easy for all.

Hey guy, how is the v11? I got the v13 and ITS TOO HEAVY 😩. I'm thinking about getting a v11. Please advise

I think I paid just a little under $800 with tax, they do not make their price very obvious that is for sure. The build seems solid but I agree a bit more battery capacity would be welcome. Cheers!

@@ElectronSurferDo they sell a 2nd battery? I tend to buy a 2nd battery for longer rides.

@@MumfordJim Yes they do, they now have a battery that is double the size of the one I bought.

I'm a bit unsure what the symbols mean, but thanks!?

I have been interested in that same kit, I was hoping they would come down in price. Let me know what you think of it.

Unfortunately I have no experience with yamaha systems, perhaps someone else will see this.

I never saw those kind of speeds on mine but I don't disagree, awesome power to weight. Cheers

I think that is a really good use for this bike, it rolls really well for an ebike and fits right in with other road bikes, I think it would be easy to control and get the feel of for a group ride. Thanks for the question.

@@ElectronSurfer Are there any sensors on this bike that will hook up to my Garmin Edge?

@@vernfrier1771 I don't think there is, id reach out to Ride1up directly though to be sure.

@@ElectronSurfer They just answered me saying, no.

@@vernfrier1771 I appreciate the update!

100% Magura brakes are excellent! A great option when you have to make a change.

It helps a little, i think a good analogy would be you could tackle a hill seated that without the motor you'd have to stand up to make it. The motor itself isn't strong enough for many hills by just activating the cadence senor, so you will have to add something. I hope that helps.

I have had it be finicky. I find it works best if you turn off, wait a few seconds, turn back on then do the throttle/brake hold and 10 presses. Sometimes you have to do it a few times, when you get the 2 beeps after 10 presses, you know it's done.

@@ElectronSurfer Thank you. I did actually manage to do it in the end
