The brake noise you hear is the pads scraping the rotor. It will disappear after a few more miles of wear-in. You can use a rubber strip as a shim in between the handlebar and mount to get the phone holder to secure better. I have this model and I’m happy with it. It tops out around 27mph but that’s plenty fast for a bike. The low end torque is great on grassy trails and mild off road. It also climbs hills really quite well. I’m 6’1” and 180lbs

@Devou1s 8 ай бұрын

I have the Q20 aswell, got it for 940 USD, have gone 500 miles so far and topspeed is 31,5 mph being 5'9 145lbs. I agree with the low-end torque, wheelies is doable sitting far back for me.

This is great, thank you for the video! Very well done too 👍 I am looking into this bike, do you think it could handle Canadian winter? Haha we do have bike lanes but still.. my other concern is it’s weight as I’d have to carry it two flights of stairs each time I use it.. down and than back up. It seems more compact than the traditional computer bicycle which is good.. but is it 10 times heavier?

@ampedcycle 7 ай бұрын

I think the Canadian winter will be pretty hard on it. That battery will lose a lot of performance below freezing. I live in northern Illinois, and we have harsh winters too. I haven’t ridden in anything under 40 degrees f, and even then my range takes a hit. As far as taking it up and down stairs, I did that with mine for a few weeks and I decided to rent a garage in my apartment building. It’s doable, but I wouldn’t want to be doing it every day. Only a matter of time until an accident at that point.

I've owned this model for a month. And I have one major issue with it, mine refuses to go over 26 mph no matter what the settings are set to. I would recommend to verify your onboard speedometer with a GPS app on your phone. With mine when it says it's going 28 mph it's only really going 26. I've reached out to the manufacturer and they made some changes, later shipments are getting a weaker motor/controller. Early releases could actually reach a real 30 mph.

I’m just wondering, does your pedal assist kick in when you start peddling because I’ve changed all my settings to where they should be even changed where you can have pedal assist and pedaling, but it doesn’t seem to really kick in too much when you start to pedal but it seems like you have to give it throttle to even get it going and when you let off the throttle and you are peddling it slows down, so it doesn’t keep up with the pedal assist

@ampedcycle 7 ай бұрын
