    Ditch the zip tie fender...

    The fender gave it purchase, like the mouth of a Labrador retriever.

    Decoy top assist speed short changed

    I think you miss my point: being short shrifted on max assist speed has nothing to do with range. I can choose to ride 2, 8, 12 mph. Or if my motor was properly optimized, 20mph. I’m fully aware how to conserve battery. Plus, If you’re riding at 18.5 mph all the time, you won’t get very far...

    Decoy top assist speed short changed

    Been riding and loving my Decoy for a year now, although it has never delivered the 20mph assist speed limit allowed in the U.S., cutting off completely by 18.5 mph. I consulted YT about this over the year, again recently when upon riding 2 other Shimano E8000 motor equipped bikes by other...

    Decoy assist top speed less than 20 mph

    It's been re-set with Shimano assistance. Decoy speedometer is consistent with Garmin 520+. YT tells me 18 mph shutoff is spec. I can't believe such poppycock.

    Decoy assist top speed less than 20 mph

    My assist shuts off completely at 18 mph. Seems like a gyp to not get right up to 20 mph.
