    The seat is pretty comfy. Longest ride has been about 10 miles so far. Almost time for my first commute to the office (17) and will likely do another vid around then. Foot rests are on Amazon: amzn.to/3vKHijO

    Yellow ended cable is meant for a throttle. The other 2 cables, it's been speculated that they're for turn signals at some point in the future.

    Thanks for your review ! As far as the app is concerned, my iphone connected quite easily to the S2. You will then be able to change modes (or class) on the app from 1 to 4 (4 being reserved to throttle users only). It's night and day when you switch from class 1 to class 3 even without throttle. The bike now goes up to 28 mph (45 km/h).

    Yes! Got this working finally only three days ago. Took the bike out on a 5 miler, across fields, through a wood and along the lanes. NIGHT AND DAY.. .as you say. It was amazing. The extra power you get on mode 3 is exactly what I wished for. Up hills where I was doing 9 mph and pedalling hard are now 16mph and pedalling easy. I'll do another video at some point now that this new world has opened up.

    I think it is yes. There’s also meant to be the release of the throttle pack later in the year. Will keep my eye out on that one. Apparently though, in the UK, the throttle itself is illegal (if you still wish to say this is a Pedelec), unless you are off-road.

    Does this have the same motor as the US spec? The UK website seems to suggest it's '250 watt limited' with a much higher peak. Is this motor actually more than 250 but with outout limited for UK/EU? Great video thanks very much!

    Mode 1 sets the output to 250W limited. Max of 15.5mph from the motor. If you go through the settings then you can get the full 800W output in unlimited mode with the throttle. I think it's the same motor. I didn't know any of this when I bought it and did the original vid.

    @@lifeunlocked7206 Thanks! Yeah it's funny what the manufacturers of ebikes do but I'm glad they do. Like 250 watts nominal could be a limited Jet engine. What I want to know is if someone gets pulled over do they quickly put it back to normal mode and rip off the throttle lol. I guess unlike escooters which are all illegal, powerful ebikes are sort of hiding in plain site.

    Time will tell. It’s allowed to be caught in the rain but advised against getting ‘heavy wet’. So no major downpours and riding through big puddles etc. Hard to judge though really. Certainly here, it can be clear blue in the morning and heavy rain in the afternoon. I think everything is IP rated for rain but down for submerging.

    I used the app to be able to change to the highest mode (4) in this mode I can get up to 32mph with pedalling. I have an S2 I believe people who are having problems with the app connecting to the bike are mostly android users. I used an iPhone and it connects straight away no problems. The three unused cables are for future upgrades, the yellow one is used to attach the upcoming off road kit (throttle) & the other two cables are for indicators. Hope you get the app working, ride safe.

Once corrected I paired, quickly changed the mode and similar to above I can get to 28/29mph whilst pedalling (fast pedal). Just a steady commute to work can have me doing 20mph nicely. Perfect really at that speed.
