Sudden Stop
Sudden stop on flat battery
Regular reviews
Almost every review I’ve seen of electric motorbikes, even cheap ones, has shown how when people do range testing on the battery, they all end up in a limp mode to allow you to get home or somewhere safe a little slower.
No limp mode
The lack of limp mode is painful! And also a little dangerous. I got stuck, with my first flat battery, on a very twisty bituman side road with nowhere to pull over and impossibly difficult to push up the hill
Restart
After restart I got another 500m, but was not able to move much in mode 1, had to use mode 3.
Battery Indicator wrong
It showed 2 bars and suddenly stopped
NO LIGHTS!
No Lights
Sudden stop means no lights, no blinkers, no emergencyMy battery power failure was almost instant. One beep and it switched off.
This feels insanely dangerous to me. Imagine riding at 100km on twisty roads in the pitch dark and loosing all power suddenly, including lights.
I am actually quite dissapointed that this isn’t a requirement of safety in Australia.
Cutting the power to the wheel is acceptable. Not fantastic, I really want limp mode, also for safetly. But FFS do NOT turn off the whole bike.
Not only is this clearly dangerous without lights but then you have no way of using your emergecy blinkers and no way to check the voltage of the battery.
