It really depends on the mode used, rider weight, and elevation change. The worst I've seen, while chasing friends on e-bikes up the side of a mountain, was ~88% battery usage in ~15 miles, most of it in Boost mode. Conversely when riding with people on Amish bikes I've only used 45% of my...
Yep, I can measure if needed. I didn't actually bother checking the stock battery cover before heading the hardware store, mine turned out a touch nicer because I used o-rings between the cover and screw heads.
Yes, I ordered one from Italy. They shipped fairly quickly and I've been really grateful at how easy it has made swapping batteries; I was camping at a bike park (Vail Lake) this past weekend and when I'd come back to camp to refill water/snack/rest I'd throw a fresh one in the bike and let the...
So I bought my 2021 in late December and was afraid of having massive FOMO about the new model, but I'm actually super glad I did. While I'd love to have the geometry changes and flip chip, what attracted me most to my current bike was the weight (44 lbs with pedals). I was strongly considering...
Convenience counts for a lot. If the bike can't be left on a charger overnight or in the garage I consider that a pretty big failing, but so far neither seems to have negatively impacted it. I believe Husqvarna's manual even says leaving it charged/on the charger does no damage.
Edit: It...
I can't really speak to charging times (I just leave mine on a charger overnight after everything is cool), but range is fairly exceptional. The display estimates 107 miles in eco, 53 in trail, and 35 in boost. I've never put much of a dent in my battery; I'm out of energy long before it is.
I realize this is a long shot, but with Santa Cruz sold out of the Heckler Battery Cover kits (SKU: 04-21551) does anybody have a 3D printer file for a compatible cover? I just got a spare BT-E8035 and would love to not need to swap the cover every time I change out the batteries. Thanks!
I've had a Mountain Cross 5 for three months now. Overall I'm really enjoying the bike, but the weight (my large is 57.5 lbs) is a definite issue. It's a hoot to ride but on the trail or lifting it into the bed of a truck after a ride you definitely feel all of those pounds. I also get a little...
I'll weigh in; I currently ride a Husqvarna Mountain Cross 5. I enjoy the bike but the weight is off-putting, so I test rode an M edition bike. The weight difference was amazing but the power hit noticeable, and I worried about the 360Wh battery limiting the range. Ultimately I passed on it...
