![]() If you have problems, call Chawn 80 and he will assist. To find the lighting wiring, you need to unscrew and clip the cable tie and pull on the bundle going into the down-tube.Faster than a Thanks for your post Brian and I'm so pleased that you like the Dash! Regarding your points The down shift button on the trigger shift is too stiff, but the shop may be able to adjust that out.īut like I said I love riding this from Mercer Island to Downtown seattle, 4.5 miles, 20 minutes, 1 bar each way at high assist.I would much rather have an up and a down button for the assist, rather than scrolling round and round. To me, cruise control is the waste of a button, because there isn't any strain to holding the grip throttle in any position you want it.In some modes, the assist seems to cut in and out at about 18 to 20 mph, I get that it is supposed to do that but it is jerky.I'll replace them and get strapped toe clips as well. Pedal work as pedals, but are very poor quality.Can't find the hookup point for the headlights, it is not where the website says (top of down tube).There is a '0' assistance level which is a little hidden, you press the off button quickly and then there is no assistance but you get to keep the speedo etc.Įveryone has been very positive here and I love this commuting machine, but that are a couple negatives.There is no difference is sound in that mode or in level 4 with full throttle. The correct description for how much noise it makes is not 'quiet'.Maybe someone with a bit more experience with e-bikes can weigh in on this.įirst time posting here, after buying a Dash two days ago. Perhaps it's not all about cadence if you want to get the maximum performance out of your battery, you're going to have to find a gear that allows you to work hard so you don't end up draining the battery in about 16 miles like I was on pace to do. So perhaps there is some difference with shifting on an e-bike. I noticed on my ride today that while in pedal assist 1 that being in the right gear really did matter for battery performance. What I really wanted to post about though is the shifting on the Dash. And with a Child seat on the back with a 2.5 year old, it's going to have a lot more! Also the smaller frame makes me feel a bit more in control considering you got a bit more "junk in the trunk". The Dash feels great to me, the 19" frame is just a half inch smaller than the frame I have on my mountain bike, but it just feels nice. I have about 11 appreciable hills on my way to work, which is also in a mostly uphill direction. My goal is to average somewhere around 22-25 MPH, and I got alot of hills around me. Over the next few weeks I'm going to continue testing the bike as I build up confidence in my ability to make my commute in a timely fashion (while also dropping my son off at day care). Being 6'1" and nearing 240lbs I understand I'm probably a bit of a larger rider for the battery and that I should expect some performance problems until I start losing some of this weight. One thing I've found out already about the dash is that you can get those higher speeds with very little effort, but a massive drain on the battery. This is going to be perfect for my 13 mile (each way) daily commute. What sold the bike for me was the speed you could keep even with pedal assist 1 with next to zero effort, ~15'sh MPH, on 4 I was able to get myself up to 30 on the flats with some effort, and topped out around 35 MPH going downhill, trying to pedal as hard as I could. But hey at least I'm going to get a $260 dividend at the end of the year. ![]() I love the bike, but quite honestly the REI staff just don't know E-Bikes, when I wasn't in their store looking at the bike they kept all the e-bikes way off in an area that nobody will ever see, very sad. I just purchased the Dash today after much deliberation, REI was the only retailer for IZip I could find in a reasonable driving distance from my home in Aurora, CO, so I had to break my rule of not going with my local bike shop. First time post on these forums, but I love the reviews that I've checked over the last two weeks on EBR.
