That’s the first time I’ve had the first like. Must be my lucky day. I ended up getting the Sole bike carrier after your review, what great customer service. They didn’t have any inventory of the newest model with the ramp so the guy asked if I wanted a display model at a discounted price so that’s what I got. Easy on and off.
You will get more range running both batteries at the same time, but not more speed 48v is 48v regardless of the amp hours. The way the battery balancer works is if you have one battery at 80% and the other at 100% it will pull from the one with the higher charge until it equals the other battery, then it will drain both equally, you don't have to turn the bike off to switch to the second battery. After the battery drains to a certain percentage it will lose speed which is why it goes faster after you turn the second one on if it has a higher charge. Running both at the same time is more efficient. Great video, by the way.
@@johntinglin7280 On another channel a RU-vidr posted that he contacted Meelod and the CSR said to "depress both brake levers." Yeah, that's not an answer to the disable cruise control question. I figure at some point a RU-vidr or ten will come up with a way to re-code e-bike controllers so we can get max power and get rid of coded features we don't want.
I like the look 👍 I just purchased the amyet s8 it Is a 48 volt dual motor with full suspension and hydraulic brakes. I will be doing a video review on it also
Hey Scott always enjoy your reviews . I have noticed that you use a large black app with white fonts on your bikes that shows the speed, etc . where do you get this app and the name please ? .. explain please thanks
Man it kinda sounds like that front motor has stripped planetary gears cheap nylon is what most these things come with i suggest replacing them with stainless gears what i do with all mine can get them for like 40 bucks usually
Have you found a better seat for this bike? If so, can you share it with me? I'm looking into getting this bike but I'd prefer not having my butt hurt when I'm done riding it lol
I have reached out the company but nothing yet. It might have to be something made custom. If you don't plan on riding 25-49miles in one ride you will be fine. hahahaha
The maximum charge review has a after market seat with a link on his video. I just ordered this bike yesterday, I wonder how long it will take to receive my new bike, I can't wait to ride this bike!!
Switching between batteries doesn't increase amps it's 40 amp hours. All that does is give you more range. Keeping one off then turning it on will just equalize the two packs. To have a true backup keep only one on at a time. Or just burn them together all the time. Hope this helps. Sure it may feel like more power but that's just the 2nd batteries voltage recharging the 1st battery a bit.
You realize that is not a Class 3 bike if you're throttling above 20mph, right? If you don't qualify as an ebike you don't get bicycle privileges and cannot ride in bike lanes or paths. You're the reason why people hate ebikes and why we're facing draconian legislation around the country. Thanks Gomer...
Bike looks great - BUT, I'm afraid it's people like you who will get these bikes banned! You ride FAAAAR TOO fast when around people and dogs! 25MPH, passing people within inches; people not looking towards you, who may not be aware that you're approaching from behind, and approaching VERY fast. If one person, or their dog, even on a lead, was to take one step to the left or right, you would have zero chance to stop, and could cause serious injury! STOP giving e-bike riders a bad name and SLOW DOWN on footpaths. Thumbs down for your complete lack of concern for other people and their safety!
The Gopro makes it look like inches when it is not. Same way on how it makes hills look flat. Thanks for the concern but since I do live in a city with millions of people, I've got this. I get passed on the time by young hids on analog bikes burning thru these trails, it won't be me that gets these bikes banned. As a matter of fact, ALL CHICAGO TRAILS are approved for Class 3 ebikes.
