@Tom - That's the thing.. I purchased the bike used so I have no baseline as to how it was when it was new, or anything to compare it to. As I mentioned, the guy that I bought it from used it mainly for off-road riding. It does feel a little saggy offline the and the top speed is about 42 MPH. I really never tracked the range so I can't provide that data. I guess saggy is speculative to the user riding the bike, hence my question of what stats are being used. For example... on a car, you can see if the headlights are dim, or slow cranking and gauge roughly 7 or so years on a battery depending on use. You can even do a load test and make a determination. However, as you know, a car battery is $200 vs an ebike battery, so if you if you replace your car battery and it turns out to be something else, its not that much of a shot in the foot.
@TV - You mentioned "you would have replaced it sooner if you could have found one"... I assume that you replaced it then...may I ask what you replaced it with..? Did you build your own, or purchase it... an for that matter, are you happy with it...?
@abv - My hubsinks came in this past week along with the Staterade. Lookiing at the hubsinks, I have 6 or so large heatsinks and one very small one. It just seems odd that they are all not sized the same. Would you have a picture of your hub with them on...? Thank you..!!
I also want to hear more about the sur ron run in as well..
