OK..!! Not sure if I’m going to bother learning all this stuff or just stick to bolting things together (which is what I enjoy). I might just mark down on my whiteboard each time I ride the bike and the approximate distance. I read something somewhere about charging when I’m down to about...

OK..!! Thank you..! I know I can go close to 60 kilometres in one trip with a less than full battery (tried that). So, if I’m just using it intermittently for errands I’ll just charge it every, say, 30kms. I might try testing just voltage and see if I learn anything about the battery’s habits.

Sounds like I could just use my voltmeter and, with some trial and error, figure out when I’m down to about 1/2 charged.

Thanks.! My current LED lights always show a full charge (even when the battery is fully dead.!)

Old thread I know but would this type of watt meter be something I could check my state of charge with.? https://a.co/d/7ezBA7u My LED lights on my battery do not work (have not worked since new) and I am running a headless set-up (no computer, no display. I don't want to unnecessarily...

Problem solved..!!! I went back to Grin and received first-class friendly service. They took me right in to their workshop and plugged the controller in to a computer and adjusted some things and it ran. Just a short ride home (3.3 kms) but everything feels good..!! I will give it a longer...

A soft brush, even an old paint brush or a dustpan brush, will remove a good bit of the dry dirt.

Update: I picked up my warrantied hub today from Grin. Put the bike back together and it died in the first minute on flat road (190 metres to be exact). Green tape on it said "fixed new core" which I assume means they replaced the hub internals with new stuff (since my hub is laced to my rim...

Update: I dropped the hub off at Grin to check out. Really nice people. I probably could have dropped off controller and battery too, but I think the hub was able to spin backwards initially, so hub seemed a good place to start.

I will go through these questions a bit later.

Google said Grin was closed Mondays but I will try to contact them.

I’m curious what is the normal difficulty rolling a rear hub bike backwards.? Mine is totally locked up. The back wheel would need to be lifted up to roll the bike backwards.

Wheel doesn’t really want to roll backwards with power off. It’s like brakes are on. Anyone with a rear hub have trouble rolling backwards (such as removing bike from a bike rack).?

OK will do.!!

Hi All, I've just installed a brand new Minimal G310 Rear Hub Kit from Grin and it has died twice. Both times within 5 kilometres from my house (3 miles). This is all the mileage the kit and this build have on it. Kit: G310 hub Baserunner Z9 controller B3624LiM battery in DP9 Reention case...
