Having the assist will give you the confidence to ride further, and seek out tracks and places to go. Plus you'll hate being in the car in traffic after too! :p

You'll soon know if you get a kink in the wheel when you next ride it! :D

That's great! It does take some time to get used to the assist, you'll find the higher assist modes will quickly get you up to speed, if you lower the assist level a bit it won't be so quick to shoot you up. Just a case of getting used to it and enjoying the ride :)

If you need to brake so hard that you could go over the handle bars, then I suspect you wouldn't have much time to think about which lever to pull first.

I think the saddle sore is pretty normal and should improve ;). I like the fact that the bike gets you up to speed, on the flat it's pretty good to go higher with your own power, if I'm feeling a little fatigue, I reduce the amount of assist and this tends to keep me in the assist area, rather...

I had a quick go on a Volt Metro, and was pretty impressed, in fact it's what got me started to get an e bike. Sound advice above to test ride a few bikes to really know for sure

Good thread with some useful information :)

Have you thought about counselling?

Seen my review? I have one and am really enjoying it

Sounds good, look forward to seeing what you come up with

Welcome, I'm sure the knowledgeable folk here can point you in the right direction when the time comes. I don't know a lot about the Isle of Man, apart from the TT races and Norman Wisdom.

Guys that's really awesome! Nice work. Do you have much left to test/refine?

Yeah if someone knows that would be great, or a wiring diagram, but being Chinese I wouldn't hold my breath at finding one. If you have a meter you could carefully probe the controller to see where the connector comes off, but it's a risk, and unless your capable, probably not worth doing.

Welcome and thanks for sharing some of your history. Look forward to the review...

Hello and welcome, be interested to hear more about your prototype, got any pictures?

Good to see another new member here! Tell us what you have and share some pics ;)

If you don't have the connector, are you capable of opening up the controller and finding a point to take off the 36v? It won't be controlled by the night light function, unless you can find where that circuit switches on. You maybe better off going for some USB rechargeable lights if not.

Thank you, it is a single size frame also, so won't suit everybody. I'll have to check what bike you got...

Thanks for sharing, I'm looking into lights right now and this is interesting!

Yeah but this controller has the connector and it's activated by turning on the night mode on the lcd display. My battery doesn't have a USB connection either
