Nice! Funny enough, I'm running my Zeb the exact same way as you! No tokens and TruTune! I also have a TruTune in my Fox 38.
I've not blown up the X2 yet, but I've done a fraction of the miles you've done and I'm not the most aggressive or heavy rider. I like the look of the Vivid though...
Wow, you're really riding the sh*t out of this thing, huh? Good work! That's a lot of riding every week!
Have you had any play at the back of the rear shock at all? A few people online seem to have this, but I'm not sure what the cause is. Thankfully I don't have it, but I'm interested...
I agree that batteries degrade no matter what you do with them. I disagree that it's not possible to verify that treating batteries in a certain way will speed up or slow down degradation. That's exactly what scientists have been doing and what numerous companies have been throwing copious...
Yes, it is. Whilst it would be amazing to have lithium batteries that never degrade, unfortunately that's just not possible, at least at the moment. In fact, I can't think of anything that lasts forever. Everything degrades over time.
Lithium batteries degrade fastest when they're brand new...
Oh sure, I'm not demanding that anyone does anything in particular with their bike, it's entirely up to the person, but what I'm saying are verifiable facts, so those who want to follow them can.
You're not lucky, it's just that the range shown on your bike isn't an accurate representation of...
Yeah, the waste isn't great, especially when they're trying to push people into ebikes as a greener way to commute.
For me, charging before a ride rather than immediately after one isn't reducing the enjoyment at all. It doesn't really make any difference to me and at least if I charge just...
I guess it's up to individuals and their own mechanical sympathy. If it makes no odds to you what charge you keep the battery at or when you charge it, then try to keep it at a lower SOC and charge it just before you use it. But if you're not worried about the extra degradation and it's more...
Or so they claim...! Even if you did everything perfectly with the battery you'd suffer some degradation even after as little as a year, so to claim no degradation after thousands of miles and many years is just being wilfully ignorant of the facts. As much as I'd love batteries to go on for...
Because manufacturers are talking about long term storage. Their concern is that you leave your battery at 26% and don't ride the bike for 6 months and the battery drains to 0% and gets killed completely, as then they have to pay out on a warranty claim.
If you store it at a higher charge it...
It shouldn't be complicated. The cynic in me thinks that they probably don't offer this because they want your battery to wear out more quickly, so you'll buy a new bike...
I also think some companies downplay things so that they don't scare customers off of buying their products.
Car brands...
Sorry, only just saw this. Personally I'd leave it at 26% and then charge as late as possible before you leave. Ideally you would have the battery finish charging, then unplug it, put it in the bike and ride it straight away. (Or maybe give it a few minutes to cool if it got warm from...
Anyone know yet what the Purion 400 can display? Is it customisable at all? Seems to take up a lot of the screen just telling you what mode you're in, even though the LED controller makes that pretty obvious. I'd rather be able to customise it and see the time, battery percentage, etc.
It's well known that the most degradation occurs at 100% SOC, so it's better to store it at a lower SOC and charge just before riding.
Whether you notice it or not, if you've always stored your battery at 100% over thousands of miles then you will have degraded it more than if you hadn't. That...
Just seen this. I liked the Purion 200, but was told by Bosch that it couldn't be used in conjunction with the top tube mounted LED controller, whereas it looks like this Purion 400 can.
I just wish there was more information and a retrofit price. Hopefully they can make it available pretty...
