It depends on how you drive it. I regularly get 140km out of a single charge with potential for 150km. For me, if I stick to the back roads, maintain speeds around 65kmh - 75kmh, stick to the speed limits, slowing down for towns and villages, I'm not riding flat out by any means but at an...

Yes. The grey seats are the 'comfort seats'. They have about 2cm thicker padding and heating. The orange seats do not. If your bike comes new from the factory with a standard seat (the orange ones), you can retro-fit any of the comfort seats (the grey ones) but the heating will not work. The...

The Vevor stand arrived today. I am happy to report that it lifts the front of the bike with ease while on the centre stand. I haven't tried lifting the whole bike on its own. Took less than 20mm to get the front wheel spinning. The bike sits very stable and secure on the stand on its own. No...

Cheers, I'll bear that in mind. I'll be working slowly and carefully to find the correct point where I can just get the front wheel off the ground either with or without the centre stand.

Yes that's the plan. Bring the wheel and tyre to the shop. Its a lot more convenient than leaving the bike in. And just so I'm certain, I grabbed a few screenshots from the video. To clearly see the bike sitting on the lift with no support from above.

Initially I'm only going to lift the front end just enough to take the load off the front wheel, while using the centre stand to lift and support the rear. After that and if I'm feeling confident with the new lift, I might try lifting the whole bike.

Thanks for the reply but please be careful. My concern with a front paddock stand and centre stand - after watching a few videos on youtube, I noticed some stands pull the bike forwards as it lifts up, its only an inch or two but it could be enough to pop the bike off the centre stand which...

After a bit more research, this answers everything I needed to know and more. Not just the front wheel but the entire bike can be supported on the heatsink / battery case with a decent scissor lift on its own. Getting the front wheel off should be easy as Sunday morning.

It sure feels like luxury on those cold winter days. Thought it was kind of a gimmick until I started using it. i'd miss it now.!

Thank you sir for the reply. I have considered all of those options and the Vevor scissor lift is the one I keep coming back to. The reasons being, 1. The lift platform has a rubber mat which would allow some 'squish' and mitigate damage to the underside of the bike but I could always add to...

Its kinda difficult to tell from the photo's to be honest but as long as you find it comfortable and have no pains, issues or otherwise then, happy days..!

Hi, I'm looking for some advice please. I'd like to remove the front wheel so I can get the tyre changed but there is no obvious 'jacking' or lifting points on the underside other than the floor of the battery case. I have the stock centre stand fitted and I only need to raise the front end...

Yes, I can confirm that both of those seats, #4 and #5 pictured, are heated. I have both. I purchased the long one, #5, as I was getting pains on my knee on longer rides. It provides about 2.5 inches of extra leg room which was more than enough to alleviate the pain and allow me to stretch out...

Yes, that was my understanding too but I suspect it was possibly due to the bike being only just turned on and it was from a standing start so the traction control was not fully active at that very moment. It is certainly something to be aware of when first moving off from a stand still after...

Hi, Irish owner here. Based in Wicklow. Bought the bike new in September 2024. Amazing machine, absolutely love it. Use it for a 94km daily commute up to Dublin and back. I don't take it on the motorway so its all twisty country back roads for me which is actually way more fun and interesting...
