Review MiRider One

[vfr400]

I much prefer the MiRider display. Do you reckon it would work with the Bafang G020 motor ? I’ll try to remember to take a pic of the existing unit - it’s a total pain to operate with gloves whereas the MR was very responsive.

What you're saying doesn't compute. 2020 and 2021 Mirider One use KT LCD5s. Have you modified something or are there different versions? You can see it in the photo in this listing.

That’s the same as mine on the MiRider. Do you know if it works with the Bafang G020 motor ? The Bafang is also a 36v rear hub motor but the controller on my Pinnacle is a pain to operate with gloves and is just a basic LED display.

The LCD works with the controller (KT controllers only, not Bafang). It doesn't have a clue, nor does it care about what motor you have. It's the controller that connects to the motor. if your motor has the 9 pin connector, in principle, you can use just about any controller with its matching control panel.

KT mmake a range of LCD control panels, which are all compatible with their controllers. The LCD5 is towards the bottom of the range. Most people go for the LCD3 or LCD8. This is the middle page of 3:

What type of PAS does that bike have?

As far as I can tell it’s a cadence motor with crank magnets. This is a picture of the existing dash panel.

Can you derestricted in any way

Can you derestricted in any way

All e-bikes can be derestricted. The Mirider has a KT controller. The Mirider guy said that it had special software init. If that software locks the speed limit, yo can replace the LCD with one that isn't locked.

Thanks been looking at the camo design one they do for £1650

l've got the Mirider and it works well, but l would say it would be pointless trying to derestrict it as the single gear spins out at about 18mph.

The assistance fades out at around 16.5mph.

The bike rides well, it's for my wife but l rode it home from the shop. l also took it off road which was a little unfair (on the bike) but it performed well on a rough unmade road, a path around the local park, and across a field.

The boost button on the right handlebar is great, for when you get to a steep hill. The website claims a 15% maximum gradient and it's probably about right, but that's a bit steeper than 1 in 4.

l was surprised at the ride quality which is very good for the type of bike that it is, there is a rear shock but it looks like just an elastomer and there's nothing at the front.

lt will be ideal for a holiday bike. We'll
probably buy another one, then l won't have to heave my full sized Kona Ebike into the car.

Going off the lack of response to my post it looks like l am the only person on the forum who has bought one of these bikes apart from the O/P

2,000 miles on the Mirider now.

The battery is still fine. The main rear suspension pivot developed play after 1,000 miles but a replacement was only £10.

A couple of things have gone wrong with it. The pedals last around 500 miles. The freewheel failed at around 1,500 miles and it wasn't covered under the warranty.

l fitted the riser bars which make it a lot nicer to ride. Range is 15-20 miles in hilly areas and around 30 miles in flat areas like Norfolk.
