    BeatBike

    I have tried her with 20” wheels, then 16” wheels but both too big. So i bought her one of those kids electric scooters. She loves it. Looks odd seeing a granny of 12 grandkids bombing around the streets on an electric scooter with a seat but she doesn’t care. And of course it’s not road or...

    My collection of saddles grow. Narrow ones, wide ones big bum ones, sprung ones, gel ones. And every one of them is numbing uncomfortable.

    How do i alter this display

    I easily changed the settings on my Big Bear King Meter display. Does anyone know how it’s done on this Kwikfold Xite 3 display. I would like to change from KPH to MPH and maybe others. I do know how to get up the screen but it just shows PO1, PO2 etc.
