Wish it had a rack for transporting stuff!
There is a back rack that can be added. Unforunately this accessory has been sold out for months.
Do you have to keep moving the pedals in order to use the throttle. or can you just keep your legs still and use the throttle to continue to coast?
Awesome video!
You can coast for the most part, but you will eventually slow down if you don’t pedal at all.
What is the maximum speed that can be reached while pedaling on the flat without assistance?
Can you climb a slope with an empty battery?
Max speed without assistance is around 30-35 KM/H. It’s quite manageable to ride without assistance IF you have speed. You can use the boost in stop and go traffic if riding in manual mode. Climbing any kind of a slope with an empty battery would be a real chore. A hill would be a no-go.
Does winter rides affect lifetime and capacity of the battery?
Depends on what you define as being winter. Living in the Netherlands, we rarely get temperatures below zero celsius. There is nothing in the manuals that would suggest as such.
@@Rollingspoke FYI I'm from Russia. Not Siberia, but still...
@@EpicEvolution So you will have proper winters then :) I think it would be difficult to know if the cold is affecting the battery life or whether it’s the number of charges, as that will obviously go down after some time.
@@Rollingspoke well. I'll try to minimize seat heater and air conditioning to save some juice
What the saddle like? Is it comfortable?
The saddle is quite comfortable. If you’re rides are longer than an hour, than you may want more support. But it can easily be swapped for something else.
any idea where is the controller at?
No. There is nothing in the manual. If you need to service it, best to contact Honbike.
Speed limit?
25 km/hr European version. 32 km/hr US version.
It has an anti-theft system. The bike has no gears. When the power button is turned off by the rider, it can only be turned on again via the registered user app. Without the electrics, the bike cannot be ridden or pushed by hand as the 'walking assist' and ''manual mode' is defunct. The bike can only be lifted by hand and carried to a van or car but it is then pretty useless to a thief as it cannot be ridden - even as a 'fixie.'
