Who here has an Eggrider v2 and what are your thoughts on it?
I have been using mine for a week now and already loving it much more than my old ebikes display (BAC-601) which i ended up removing completely. It is by far the most minimalist display i've found to work with the BBSxx motors, so i jumped at the oppurtunity when i noticed em3ev listed it as a display option. Plus the option to not need a USB cable to program is definately an advantage to it. Being able to adjust your parameters on the road has been a plus too.
here is a pic of it on my handlebars:
It does have the option to output graphs for trip info such as voltage/current when you sync it to your phone, but those features are still buggy. You often end up many 0km trips, or even trips without the graphs available due to a buggy data pull from the display. Some of these issues are due to beta firmware/apps that you have an option to join, others are still in the stable release. It does not compare to a cycle analyst, but it at least looks sleek on the handlebars and can give you some useful information.
One thing i have seen pop up in its support areas is people upgrading to the test firmware without being enrolled in the Beta for the Play store, so they end up with a firmware/software conflict. So if you go the beta route, make sure you sign up on the play store for it, AND you email them, AND you have updated your phone app (took 2-3 days for update to appear), then you can upgrade the firmware. I'm not sure eggrider can fix this delay due to it being a play store issue.
Another annoyance will be the need to activate the app through emailing eggrider and waiting for their non-automated response with a code.
The developpers have been spot on with the support, they release periodic updates and listen to the feedback. Features that i know are in the works:
-*.el file support for profile importing from app
-Offroad Mode switch changed to long press to prevent accidental mode change.
-Offroad mode only being accessed through your phone (locked out from handlebar display)
-Different Mode names (some dont like the word offroad)
heres a link to their wiki:

Not shown in my picture or the wiki, is they added another measurement to the display thats next to the speedometer in small writing, Rxx = estimated Range xx km (or miles), thought it was an error code due to buried documentation on it.
