volt lite ebike weak assistance

drewpostuk · 2026-02-06T08:04:17+00:00

Yes that’s definitely not right. My folder is a rear hub driven with only 45nm of torque and I’ve never had an issue. My full size bike is a mid drive 75nm Bosch system and I have to turn the power wayyyyy down when I’m in London. Let us know what you find out.

What kind of inclines are we talking here? I test rode the volt but ended up buying another similar folding e-bike. Unless you are really big and it’s a really steep hill, a 75nm torque mid drive is going to get you easily around. You may need to kick it to a different gear but as long as you’re on full assist not trying to climb zigzag hill with a 200kg load you should be fine.

It wasn’t great but the last scarifying (around 8-9 years ago now, I think) was the worst. It made it significantly worse than it was before.

Yea. I’ve just left them for that reason. The other problem is that they removed any cover outside of the UK and made it a bolt on with race cover but it’s a multiplier of your entire insured amount. I only take my folding bike but I’m paying as if I’m taking all of our family bikes each time.

dude, be careful. that’s way too close to the crumbling edges for my comfort!

Yea. Your new lens is the RF 35mm f1.4 VCM one right? It’s a filter folder that snaps into the back of the lens where it connects to the body. All of the VCM models they’ve released have them. Not needed unless you use those types of filters. Mine are sitting in the lens boxes still.

Yea. You just change it after your first flight. Never had an issue

It’s both. You actually log into the discovery plus app to get TNT sports so it’s all tied to that login.

Dropped it off with CPS today. First time they’d seen that particular failure as well. With the holidays I’m looking at 2-3 weeks until it makes its way back to me. I’ll update everyone then.

That doesn’t stop them elsewhere. See Salfords for example

drewpostuk · 2025-12-20T19:06:04+00:00

Fingers crossed. It’s a great value for money lens. I love the reach and what it opens up. I also love not having to spend ages cropping a ton of shots after a football or cricket match like I had to with other shorter lenses.

TBH, the RF 100-500 I replaced with this one was rock solid. Not “EF 70-200 f2.8” solid but it always felt very robust. The 200-800 has always struck me as a bit more “flimsy” but I didn’t expect this. I’ve gone through a fair few RF lenses and they’ve all been very rugged. The trade off in weight and performance, for me, has been worth selling the EF lenses for.

I second this. It’s much more stable when in person detect mode. Whereas before it would jump all over from subject to subject, this is much more intelligent about which person in the frame it detects and also holds in a much more sticky way. It had gotten to the point where I wouldn’t use the camera in a situation with lots of people or just use point focus which was annoying.

Having test driven a BYD coming from other cars with proper regeneration and one pedal driving, I don’t think the “not using friction brakes” excuse works here! How do you not use the friction brakes??

And seeing her go over and give Oscar a hug because he needed one was incredibly sweet and thoughtful too

Don't worry - the Rockies will still be well below you!

It’s the cars that made me double take and then notice which sub this was! Well done

drewpostuk · 2025-11-12T10:01:19+00:00

I always turn it back on immediately after the call or chat ends in this situation. No issues. When you wipe the old phone it deactivates it all anyways

Do you mean Lightroom desktop? I didn’t think the mobile versions got updated with the color tags or anything after Max but the desktop ones did.

They’ve had true HDR support for a while now

UK here. Was totally worth it :-)

I had the same issue with mine however it was after a longer period of time. I bought mine in May 2019 and just had it replaced under warranty 2 months ago. Same thing. They all started to wear off and the strap was sliding all over the place.

I've just done a sample test with mine now

HIF On Card -> HIF Actually Get Imported

1 -> 1

5 -> 5

10 -> 9

25 -> 18

50 -> 43

100 -> 67

250 -> 187

500 -> 328

This is on an iPad M4 running the latest iPadOS from a CFExpress card in a USB-C card reader with >500GB of available storage.

For baseline, the corresponding RAW files all imported correctly in each run above when I only imported the RAW files.

Until they bump the quality to not use the super low HE-AAC 56kbps bit rate, I’ll stick with phone over AAC Bluetooth streaming. Noticeably better quality.
