![]() The manufacture said it would take more than 10 miles to wear them in and am hoping that to be true or I will need to replace these soon.Ĭontrary to what you say the Pedego has a Dia-Compe Rear Hub Brake which is not a standard bike component. They still shutter, and still sound like ass, just a bit less. Also, I've backed off on the adjustment to the pads so they don't squeal as much while coasting. Happy to report the brakes shutter a bit less after putting some miles on them. Welcome to the forums! Congrats to you on your 1st post! Time to upgrade! j/k (I just wanted to get out of the rain.) The ride home felt much slower than on the way to work. It was a comfortable smooth ride to and from work today. (and quiet too) Front shocks and pneumatic seat post absorbed all the bumps. Tires gripped the wet road, and the brakes were strong. I got to ride home in the rain, lucky me, I brought my rain gear. On the way to work I noticed less rolling resistance when coasting down hill than my other ebike. Tires 50psi, 200lbs rider, estimated 15lbs of gearĢ2 minutes to work, 25 minutes home, 20 minutes by cab (ok ok I fake pedaled when a cop rolled by, but it was no effort!)ĥ.3 miles each way, 14 traffic lights, stop and go neptronix wasn't kidding about the noisy brakes! They sound like ass.įirst commute to work today with the iZip Zuma. Front brake pulsates, so I tightened up the front fork, cleaned the rotor, took the front caliper apart and reassembled it. Zipped right up the 16% grade w/moderate pedaling.Īfter testing the bike yesterday I removed and adjust the shifter, throttle, and brake levers to better suit my riding position. Noticeably faster than my other ebike around the neighborhood. Battery slides in and out with ease and the bike does not feel top heavy. Even comes with a bottle of touch up paint. The stitching on the grips is a nice touch. I enjoy the up right riding position and ergonomics of the handle bars. Has a granny gear for hills, but top gear does not match the top speed of the motor on flats. Shifts between gears very smoothly even at low speed. Rear spokes are much thicker than the front spokes. Only problems so far are the front brake pulsates when braking and a broken seat mount. Went up the 9.4% grade quickly, with ease and no pedaling. Took a spin around the mall shopping center and went up the street looking for the steepest hill I could find. A few quick adjustments and ten minutes later it's ready. ![]() Tools were included to attach the pedals and handle bars. Upon examining the bike, it's 98% assembled. Opened the box to get the battery out for charging.
