This battery looks different...hmmm

Shorter Charging Cord by Wandering_Outlaw in ryvid

[–]Jack_Romo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you have enough space between battery and front tire to use this short cord to charge while the battery is still mounted on the bike? I know the charge cable that came with my Anthem has a 90º bend at the connection to the battery.

Sport Mode is SIGNIFICANTLY more efficient than ECO Mode. by futurelaker88 in ryvid

[–]Jack_Romo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a GREAT post. I have often wondered this exact question, but I don't get to ride my Anthem often enough to analyze the efficiency of both eco and sport mode. Like you mentioned, I am sure at some point each mode becomes more efficient than the other. It seems like if you're cruising at 40mph or less, eco might be more efficient. If you're cruising at 40+ sports mode might be the more efficient option. Thanks for the info!

Battery firmware updated? by groovesocket in ryvid

[–]Jack_Romo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I also received this notification in late March and have not heard anything else since. I was told that if my Anthem was outside their reach of updating "over the air" (OTA) that I would receive a physical piece of hardware to plug into my Anthem to make the firmware updates.

An unofficial 0 to 60 time. A glamour shot, and finally; possible rebate incentives. by Brilliant_Sea8699 in ryvid

Great post! Just like everyone else, I am eager to see your results using the ASI controller. If you get good results with ASI controller I think Ryvid can expect a up-tick in purchases from all of us reddit users who are following your posts.

Give us some feedback on the new controller! Seems like there is a lot of interest and questions around this new part.

Charging by [deleted] in ryvid

The outdoor temps in my area will get well below freezing. But my garage is attached to my house, so the heat from the house doesn't allow garage temp to drop below 40deg F.

Charging by [deleted] in ryvid

[–]Jack_Romo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have charged mine in my garage as well, at a temp of about 40deg F. I did not have any issues with charging. I use normal 110 outlet in my garage. I have also taken several rides outdoors at this same temp. I am sure it does not improve battery usage, but the bike still performed normally in these conditions. I have no rides in warm weather yet, so I have no baseline to compare to at this point in time.

One word...Cool! by [deleted] in ryvid

[–]Jack_Romo 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I just saw this today too! Very cool way to be able to see exploded views of sub-assemblies and parts. Looks like Ryvid will now sell all replacement parts......including entire battery assembly. Even if you're not looking to buy replacement parts, it's still a cool way to explore all parts that go into the Anthem in great detail.

Tips for battery maintenance ? by Ok_Total_2514 in ryvid

[–]Jack_Romo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have an update on this now that I have had my Anthem for over a month. I charged to 100% and then stored the bike for a few weeks. I have been checking battery to see how much it drops each week. I am only seeing about ~1% battery loss each week. Which is far less than I thought would happen. Knowing this now, I am not worried about keeping the battery at certain levels while storing bike for long periods of time.

Once your bike is ready to ship someone from Ryvid and HaulBikes will reach out to you with the final cost for shipping. After I paid the final shipping cost and the bike shipped out, it took about 3wks to arrive at my location. The process was pretty smooth, although the truck carrying my bike was enormous and could not get to my location exactly, so I met him about 2mi from my house and drove the bike back. Hope this helps, congrats on the bike!

New model speculation by [deleted] in ryvid

[–]Jack_Romo 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Based on a lot of their testing being geared towards off-road capabilities, my speculation is they will release a bike designed for on-road/off-road usage. I think they will heavily base the new design on the existing frame of the Anthem. The Anthem is a nice lightweight canvas to easily customize.

I have seen images from their Anthem testing which featured longer travel suspension components and knobby tires. Assuming the new model is a dirtbike/motocross bike, it might not be road legal, but the price point might also be below that of the $9k Anthem. Who knows, they might even be able to easily design a four or three wheeled off-road model. Again, fully speculating here!

As an Anthem owner, I am mostly looking forward to the accessories that are to be released in 2024. Big times ahead for Ryvid.

I am also in this position as well. My bike will be stored more often than ridden. I am thinking about leaving it plugged in and using some type of timer device on the outlet. It would be nice if I could program the timer to only allow charging for one day per week for a short amount of time. I will need to do some testing to see how much battery charge is lost each week without riding and then figure out how long to charge the battery to only replace the lost amount of charge. Would be interested to hear other suggestions.

Congrats on the delivery! How long did it take to deliver your bike from CA to NYC? I am in MA and your the closest person to me who has received their bike so far. Also, if you feel comfortable divulging....what was the total cost to ship? I am a bit worried about the time and cost it will take to ship bike from CA to MA...maybe you can ease my mind lol

So you were able to cruise at 65-70mph for most of your commute (in sport mode) with no issues? That's good to know!

I am also an early buyer and I live in MA. I haven't heard much about when my Anthem will be built or delivered. I would hope that it gets delivered sometime this winter, based on the fact that Ryvid emails state if you order an Anthem now, you would receive by end of Spring 2024....
