    Strive On battery extender

    If you click on "compatible products" in the link above it says it's only compatible with the Grizl:ON. Someone has tried to fit one in the facebook Strive ON group and there isn't quite enough room.

    Muddy rides. To wash or not to wash?

    I never wash mine. By the next time I ride the chain is rusty and covered in mud. I usually dump a load of new oil on there and go ride again. Last cassette/chain lasted 2500 miles like that! (deore 12 speeed 10-51t). I could spend ages cleaning it, but 5 minutes into the next ride it'll be...

    Bosch Flow App - News & Updates

    Have they added support for sending data to Garmin Edge or other bluetooth/ANT+ device like Shimano, Specialized, Mahle etc. do?

    Shimano Battery Issue (refused warranty claim) where do i stand?

    I'm no electronics engineer, but you'd think there would be some way to take this into account when displaying the percentage. We've all figured it out, so why can't the battery management system? Just mark the current 20% as 10% or something and scale everything from that leaving a bit left...

    Shimano Battery Issue (refused warranty claim) where do i stand?

    My older BT-E8010 batteries did the same thing. I captured the battery state with a Garmin 830... Battery laster 1hr28. Last 20% lasted only 7 minutes or so. As you can see from the below times, the last 4% vanished in seconds. This is a summer evening, with temp of around 19 deg C I think...

    Strive:ON problems

    Checked my battery latch today, starting to fail after 100 miles! Personally I'd hold off until there's a workaround or at least a confirmed cause (e.g. "bad batch" issue as above) I've bought a spare latch in case it fails whilst on a long ride or away for the weekend somewhere.

    2024 Strive:ON

    If the Connect Module is the alarm thing, yes my Underdog came with it installed. It makes a noise everytime I move my bike in the garage. You also need to remember to put it in "travel mode" if you switch the bike on, ride it before putting it in your car otherwise you'll be driving along the...

    Strive:ON problems

    I might order a spare latch in case it breaks whilst away on a bike trip. Does anyone know the part?

    Paint is fine, nothing wrong with it.

    2024 Strive:ON

    Mine Underdog arrived! RIdes great. That little bag is definitely useless - don't bother ordering IMO! A generic strap would work better, the little bag rubs anyway so you'll still need frame protection. The DT H1900 wheels have the ratchet system already installed. I thought they came with...

    Accidentally purchased illegal ebikes?

    Is there a link for this anywhere because I've looked at the epac definition and I can find nothing? I think the legal "250w" full power motors are putting out 500w-600w all the time in boost. It's why they are so much faster than the SL bikes with 240w+ motors. It's also why they can drain the...

    Accidentally purchased illegal ebikes?

    Definitely keep trying to return them. Possibly opening up a small claims case? If you end up keeping them I doubt anyone would notice it's 1000w if you restrict the speed. How do you even know it's 1000 watts??? I'm not sure I'd trust the marketing. I have a Radwagon with a 750w hub motor...

    How many hours riding before a flat battery?

    In theory... the motor is 500w, so on full power 100% of the time, it will drain a 750wh battery in 1.5 hours. Of course, there will be some ineffiencies so it will drain it quicker. But then, in reality, you'll spend some time descending/freewheeling so your ride will be longer.

    Vitus E-Mythique LT with Bafang M510

    Be interested to hear the range. Sams bikes did a test on youtube, and range with the 880wh was similar to Bosch with 625wh.

    Why not just order that little bag thing and put a normal multi-tool in there? https://www.canyon.com/en-gb/gear/accessories/transport-and-travel/bikepacking-and-bikebags/canyon-framebag-long-bracket/10008082.html

    2024 Strive:ON

    How are people finding riding with the speed limiter? I've been used to an e8000 set to 32kmh for the last 3 years. Am I going to regret going to a 25kmh restriction? How easy is it to pedal above the limit? I am aware of a project to derestrict but I'd probably keep it stock as it seems a...
