    Nitros oxide being banned

    My experience has been that CO2 tends to leak out of inner tubes faster than normal air. I know that when I've filled one with a cartridge, it is really down on pressure the next day much moreso than If I'd used a regular pump.

    General Question about Giant Popularity

    I'm no longer sure where I'd go to buy a Giant nearby these days. For example, the Specialized/Giant LBS where I bought a Giant many moons ago has been purchased by Specialized and it was goodbye Giant! Similarly, the local Trek stores are being bought out by that corporation. I'm sure there's...

    Levo Gen 2 New Levo Firmware release in Mission Control

    Yes, it's a ride recording indicator. The arrow is the equivalent of "Play" and something that I did on mine changed it into a "Pause" icon before it changed back. Limited usefulness IMO, especially since I use my Edge for all recording. The Spec video on the new firmware mentioned these...

    Just bought the Thule XT Easyfold for my Sportage and Ebike - Brilliant! [video]

    We really like ours. My wife and I both have e-bikes with fenders and my wife's is a step-thru so most typical clamping methods don't work very well; this one works great! And for much of last season I was recovering from a back injury (not bike-related) and there was no way I could lift a 55-lb...

    Could be a similar reason as why it won't work quite right with my Vado: it was designed for the eMTBs, and even though the other e-bikes are similar, the details are different. Paolo might have to do a lot of work to support bikes that he doesn't personally have access to.

    How much accuracy are you expecting, and why? I can think of a number of factors that introduce errors that are more significant than a few extra seconds of time. For example, speed sensors depend on an accurate measurement of your wheel's diameter or circumference, and even if you could get...

    Looking for info from anyone to clear up my confusion over the version numbers for various parts of these bikes. For reference, my Battery Monitor screen is below. This is for a Vado so things might not match up with the Levo series. Mainly my questions are: - What "Hardware" is this the...

    I've noticed a number of what seem to be inconsistencies in values displayed. In your case, if you do the conversion you'll find that 6.93 is 1.61 x 4.31, where 1.61 is the number of kilometers in a mile. IOW, there's a mistake in the app where the miles to km conversion is not being done. I'm...

    Hey @PaoloBLEvo . Did you ever check on why the app doesn't recognize my 504Wh battery and identifies as 450Wh? I suspect it has something to do with the blank Serial Number field? Thanks for looking into this. Let me know if there is any info that I can give you. I'm using Android 10 on a Pixel 3a.

    For anybody: when I run BLEvo, I just keep my Android phone in my pocket and let it act as a monitor. If I take the phone out while it is active and try to tap on some control such as the Pause button, I get a message saying "Unlock screen...". What is this telling me to do? The Android screen...

    The battery health is 100%. It is new. How do your software get this value. Do you actually read the value '450' from the bike, or do you read a code or model number and look it up in a table?

    Mine's brand new and showing 450Wh instead of 504Wh. I'm pretty sure the app is getting this by identifying the battery by its id code, which might not be up to date in the app. Note below that it shows 100% charge, 450Wh:

    Thank you, that is OK for now. Let me know if I can provide you with any information about the Vado in the future. For example, my battery is 504Wh but displays in BLEvo as 450Wh; perhaps my battery ID is not registered in BLEvo?

    Ciao @PaoloBLEvo - By way of intro, I had a 45-year career in technical s/w development and also wrote a couple of Android apps after I retired, which makes me really appreciate the complexity of what you have done with BLEvo, especially since it is for a relatively small community of users. I...
