    Just the job: Been cycling years, now need that little bit of help. Delivered next day, fitted in 35 mins, took longer the fit extension bracket. 10 ml circuit testing on different tracks without a problem. Getting one for the wife asap. Cheers guys

    Had the power and Bluetooth drop out issue. It was the battery causing the problem. Put the battery in from my wife's bike and all working well. I suspect that the contacts need crimping up but if you do this be very careful not to short out the connections. Clive is replacing my battery and as I live locally to him he's dropping it round. Can't complain about the service at all. Very helpful. 🙂

    Had this kit for two years now,using it on an old road bike .My rule of thumb is ,2000 feet of climbing or 40 miles to each battery ,what ever is the sooner.

    I do a 20mile round trip on mine and only use manual mode others are pointless i have alot of hills so i after use the trottle on them has for cutting out ive only had it on my rear hub ebike which cuts out after 16.5 mph this Easi-Fit hasnt so far its great on flat but does struggle on hills but i have broken most of my strava records on the Easi-Fit bike compared to my carrera Crossfire-E

      Yeah manual mode since I have had mine , unfortunately you can't go higher speed if using the thumb controller thats why I binned and just use the phone . As you say its easier cycling with one than without.

    is it possible to change from KM to mph on bluetooth display.i can get 45 miles no problem but i only use it at 10or 20% most of the times except on hard hill ill stick it 50 even 60% then back to 10%.im averaging 15mph on most spins. i bought a wired cateye computer just for miles average speed top speed .

    • @davesolobiker5601
      @davesolobiker5601  3 роки тому +1

      I dont think you can change from KM to mph on the BT display , 45 miles is a good return I probably on average get around 30-35 miles but I keep mine on around 50% ...

    Im having a lot of power drop outs with mine where the bluetooth connection drops out both on the app and the LCD controller. I wondered if you had any issue like this? I notice your battery is held down with velcro, does this help the connection stay constant? thanks

    • @davesolobiker5601
      @davesolobiker5601  2 роки тому +2

      Hi before every ride I always connect my bike in the search menu of the wepower bike app and connect my bike , and this is usually fine until I switch off the battery power when I have completed my journey. I then always need to reconnect everytime before re starting a new journey . I had noticed this a while back and this was my solution which now seems to work ok . The velcro strap was me just being OCD as usual , I dont like things if they have a slight rattle lol atb dave

    i use bluetooth display on hard hills 50 to 60% fantastic.but at times it doesnt always kick in .i dont use it on the flat only drags and hills try to save on power .kicks in and out a lot so i turn it off then on again seems to work better.have to say tho its doing what i want it to do hills is a breeze.

    Been riding this kit since April and commute 16 miles to work everyday
    I totally agree with the diffent modes there not as effecient as manual mode but still get little blips of cut outs
    I've also got the same tyres and can't fault them I've got my 16 mile commute down to 58 minutes using 46% peddle assist
    I think it's a great bit of kit for the money
    Not sure how long the battery or motor are guaranteed for will have to ask Clive 👍

      Good to hear you are working yours a lot harder than mine and it’s still going strong . Yeah the blip is annoying but not too bad .
      Tyres have made a massive difference already , yes I wonder what sort of mileage before the motor starts failing .

      I think the battery has 900 to 1000 full charging cycle life retaining 75% to 80% battery capacity. Motor has a 10year service life expectancy.

    My kit simply doesn't work.
    When I turn on the battery, and use the thumb throttle, it'll work for a few seconds then cut out and never come back on again until I restart the battery again..
    The same thing happens on pedal assist-I thought I just wasn't feeling the power, but it turns out it just doesn't come on.
    If I turn the battery on and start pedalling immediately, the pedal-assist will work, but after a few seconds, it cuts out and never comes back on again until I restart the battery. Shit product
