    DJI Mavic drone recording mtbing

    I used to have a Phantom 3 Professional which had a follow me mode. I filmed myself and my son biking in the Scottish Highlands and it followed us for about a mile. The 4k video was amazing, just make sure you set the height above telephone wires and trees !! My mate also had a new Range Rover...

    Trek Powerfly ( only gone and ordered one )

    No, just one battery and 2 bars remaining although the range was down to 4 miles.

    Decided to give it a go in TURBO only.....Freaking Awesome ! Did about 27 miles in quite hilly country North of Leeds, on and off road and only in Turbo mode. Although the range only said about 4 miles left when I got back the battery level was still showing 2 bars so I could probably have...

    Yes my Yamaha consistently says 105 miles in ECO PLUS on a fully charged battery whereas my new Bosch CX 500 gives 61 miles in ECO. But the Bosch has a memory in the motor which takes into account the last ride, which I presume the Yamaha doesn't.

    Ah OK thanks, so the initial range is incorrect. Opposite to Yamaha which started high and slowly decreased.

    Just a quick question. Put on a fully charged battery and the display says 61 miles range in ECO. Thought this was a bit low compared to my old Haibike which used to show 105 miles in ECO. I realise this is in ideal conditions only but the Bosch website gives 135 miles(218 KM) in ECO in ideal...

    Buy new Dongle or not?

    The only thing that's stopping me is that I'm a bit loathe to opening up a brand new bike. When I had a Yamaha Haibike I managed to strip a thread on one of the engine mounting bolts whilst installing a dongle.

    Not had a Bosch before, is it fairly straight forward ?

    Sorry to hijack the post, but has anybody put a dongle on the Trek ?

    Just bought a Trek Powerfly FS 9. Great bike to ride and looks fab too. Regarding insurance. Our Lloyds home insurance wouldn't cover eBikes so I cancelled it and changed to Santander who insure it at home and away. They don't cover liability which is fair enough. Only £5 extra a month...

    Buy new Dongle or not?

    I've have a Black Ped dongle on my Haibike for a couple of years and wouldn't be with out it. (for off road only use of course !) Easy to fit and works from my iPhone . Works from the light switch.

    Yeah I know, got a week before it arrives. Will have to do some serious 'Buttering Up' in the next few days. Bought a Harley a few years ago and had it in the garage a week before I figured a way to break the news ! Anyway, I'm still alive and still buying toys.

    Yeah, I only got 10% off mine. I wanted the interest free credit too but then you loose the discount so I'm gonna put it on a new credit card with zero percent on new purchases for two years. :):)
