I used to be pro-scooter because of what it meant for micro-mobility in cities etc. But we have two scooter operator in our city now and I've gone off them a bit. They are all over the footpaths and rarely left in any tidy order. I've literally seen people ride along a footpath, stop and just...

He managed 115km on a single charge. Most of the ride was on the flat in Eco, but there were a few long,slow climbs along the way too. I was pretty impressed, considering it's a 400wh battery and I normally only get about 50km from a charge (I am heavier and often use the middle power setting)...

When I very first tried a Specialized, I deliberately rode it around without the motor to see what it was like. It was slower, but rideable.

The mountain biking "purists" can get stuffed. Our reasons for e-mtb'ing are various and not up for debate.

Not specifically my e-bike, but a pair of Five Ten Freeriders.

Found this via Google. It's not an exact match but might go some way to explaining it

26", 27.5", or 29" - it doesn't matter what your preference is.

I sort of did. I test-rode a Specialized Turbo Vado one lunch time and was immediately hooked on e-bikes. I oscillated between getting a commuter style bike like the Vado or an MTB like the Levo. After some passage of time, I ended up buying a Giant Fathom e-bike having never ridden one. I...

Always blow on the pie, though....

I bought some big, grippy platform pedals to use instead of SPDs for a while. I've had a few major health issues in the last few months and and I don't want to "suit up" just to go for a quick spin.

Yeah the bike shop said the screws holding the lock in place were just loose so they tightened them up.

I see the Fathom E+ 3 has gone to 29” wheels and a gaudy blue colour. They’ve also removed mention of assist limit which makes me wonder if it’s dropped to 25km/h. Really glad I got the 2019 model on sale from T7 now.

Looks like I'm booking the bike into the shop to get them to look at it. I've only had the bike for a few weeks.

Took my Fathom E+ 3 for its inaugural mountain bike ride and while it’s awesome, it has developed a rattle. I’ve located it to within the battery locking mechanism by the head tube. I’ve found if I can hold the key barrel still while bouncing the bike, the rattle doesn’t happen so I’m assuming...

According the manual, LED #3 on the RideControl One means "speed sensor issue"

When I went to bed last night, my iPhone was fully charged but not on the charger. It was dead by the morning. My phone is normally really good on the battery so I looked at the battery usage and the RideControl One app was steadily draining the juice all night. I suspect it was trying to...

Just got it home and haven't ridden it yet because the battery is charging. NZ spec 2019 Fathom E+ 3, XL (21") size, 27.5x2.6 tyres, 32km/h limit

I'll be another one when Torpedo7 get my Fathom E+3 built up.
