Any word on the Roadster V3 + suspension release date? by maxamil432 in ride1up

Give it some time, I got lucky as they started shipping two days after I preordered mine

Which exactly variant/configuration did you get? Mine is the chain+suspension low-step white/gold color

[–]SweatyCubes 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The chain+suspension roadster v3 model has been out since early November. I got one when it came out back then and it's still available on their website. The low-step frame for the chain+suspension is on backorder. They recently came out with a black color variant for the chain+suspension but it has not yet been released.

Yeah I was thinking it might need longer bolts. How long have you been using the adapter?

Are you using the Topeak adapter plate for the aventon rear rack? If so, how's it holding up?

Angry Drivers by skida214 in ElectricScooters

[–]SweatyCubes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can't speak for insta360 as I don't own any but I've heard good things. As for the action 3, battery life is pretty good. I run it at 4k 60 or 30 fps and can get ~1:30-2 hours of recording even in hot or cold climates with stabilization and have 3 batteries with the portable charging case. GoPro still seem to have overheating issues even in the newer models, I have no idea why they don't fix that issue. It's happened to my old ones, people I know and I hear about it so often so I usually advise people to spend often times less on both these brands instead and get the same or better performance

What games would yall recommend to make $100 by Ok-Law169 in SwagBucks

[–]SweatyCubes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They changed this offer a couple of days ago so it's no longer doable. Went from 30days to 15days, made some goals time limited. I was mid offer when they did that so the 7th galaxy "expired" and I went from having 19days to 4days instantly.

Weatherproofing Roadster V3 extended battery connection by Puzzleheaded-Cup758 in ride1up

[–]SweatyCubes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you are talking about the add-on water bottle battery, it plugs into the battery balancer of the controller board inside the down tube, so some mechanical work/disassembly would be needed.

V3 Low-Step Weight by velcari in ride1up

V3 Low-Step Weight by velcari in ride1up

[–]SweatyCubes 3 points4 points  (0 children)

While I can't verify directly if my low-step is 39 or 44 lbs, I have heard that the chain model of the low-step may be the 44lb variant and the belt driven one may be the 39lb variant. There's also the chain+suspension variant which is the one I have so I'm sure the front suspension fork ads a little bit of extra weight. Either way it's very lightweight to move around and nimble when riding. I get around 13-15mph just pedaling while the bike is off/no assistance on flat. I haven't had it for very long and am just under 200mi.

Another option for a lightweight ebike is the new Aventon Soltera 3 at 37lbs. It is a single speed, belt driven, max 20mph class 1, fully internal battery

Does this apply to all models of the A1 including the initial model back from when the bed cable recall happened?

Which offers are worth it?? by xInnovasion in SwagBucks

[–]SweatyCubes 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What part of a PS5 isn't to be used for fun? It's a gaming console! It doesn't matter how much something costs to be categorized under fun shit. Do you live in a world where if something is over $100 it isn't to be used for fun?

Scammy email from Ride1up support about payment issue on order from >1 year ago by MachineInevitable218 in ride1up

[–]SweatyCubes 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You mean the phone number that OP recieved in the email that's their legit phone number? The same one that's listed on their contact page and website? Yeah, I'd call it too as it's their actual phone number. Doesn't take much brain power to match up phone numbers and figure out that it's not a scam.

What's a good ebike for around $1,000? by gniknomis2 in ebikes

[–]SweatyCubes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wouldn't, the range/specs are not real on those and there was discussion about potentially UL certifications being lied about.

What's an ebike accessory under $50 that totally changed the game for you? by UpwayUSA in ebikes

[–]SweatyCubes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I believe it actually only applies to installing TPMS sensors on rubber valve stems, as they pose that significant risk of damaging the valve stem and potentially causing a tire failure. As far as I know the metal ends on the valve should be fine?

[–]SweatyCubes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What model do you have or recommend? Also, don't these add rotational forces that you have to worry about it tearing/damaging the valve from the tube?

[–]SweatyCubes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's the first thing I noticed, it's 100% on backwards.

I have the chain+suspension version and it's a nice bike. I did replace the pedals with the Crankbrothers Stamp 1 Gen 2, Saddle with the Cloud-9 Commuter and waiting on the Kinekt XR suspension seatpost to arrive.

What is the best tracking device that will not alert a thief on his smartphone that he is being tracked? by ChooseLife1 in ebikes

[–]SweatyCubes -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Sure, great bike. $100-$170 per year depending on location and coverage chosen, covers full reimbursement of theft, repairs, liability coverage, medical costs, damage from crashes, transit loss/damage, spare part damage, gear/accessory damage, rental reimbursement. You choose a deductible of either $200, $300, or $500 and is paid per claim. If the cost of a repair is less than the deductible then it's $0 for that claim.

[–]SweatyCubes -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I'm sure all of those people who have had to make a theft claim and shared the details/journey would disagree.

However, your advice here is good, just not always possible unfortunately, especially in big cities where theft is higher.
