    Help! Just got my first ebike (ADO A20F)

    Just had a read, noticed you got yours cheaper, got mine next day delivery from Amazon and I'm imaging that's why I paid more, did you order them direct from China? Have to disagree with the amount of force needed to use them though, my bike I would bet is a lot more heavy then yours and stops...

    Help! Just got my first ebike (ADO A20F)

    I just changed the calipers, used the original cables as they were and they work 100% better, for £45 and not having to mess around changing the brake levers and cables, then losing the motor cut off on the originals, I think there a great value upgrade with an easy install.

    I'm pretty sure it's the tyre.

    Help! Just got my first ebike (ADO A20F)

    I noticed something odd the other day with my front tyre, the direction arrow on it is pointing the wrong way, some helpful person at the factory has put it on back to front! Will this have any effect on battery life or no big deal?

    Another update. Recently bought some Zoom hybrid hydraulic brakes and I have to say I'm really impressed, they cost £45 and have made a massive difference to the stopping power over the mechanical one's that were fitted as standard, only took about 20 minutes to fit and I would recommend them...

    That's it, It takes about the same time as it does in the car as I'm sat in traffic half the time.

    Help! Just got my first ebike (ADO A20F)

    Update... Went back to work today after my Christmas holidays :( The good news though is I used my ebike :) It worked out altogether just under 12 miles, I used pedal assist 2 (highest level) doing on average of around 12mph and off a full charge I managed to get back with 2 bar's left on...

    Help! Just got my first ebike (ADO A20F)

    I'm starting to understand that now, in low assistance I was getting around 9mph and it wasn't strenuous but I was definitely getting some exercise which will do me good and it was enjoyable. I'm really happy with it at the moment and when I'm not using the car for work and start saving some...

    Help! Just got my first ebike (ADO A20F)

    Just had to Google what "Cadence" means...I'm a noob, don't judge! Actually on my last ride I did the same distance as my first 2 rides and covered 6 miles but I only used the lowest level of assist on this one as on the previous 2 I had gone as fast as was possible in the highest level of...

    Help! Just got my first ebike (ADO A20F)

    I have only been out on it 3 times now and have the LCD display in mph, on the flat it's around 17 mph in max assist with me peddling like a lunatic in top gear.

    It's a Li-ion 36v 10.4ah 374.4wh, being honest though with it being my first ebike I'm not really sure about much of what you mean, I do know it's not the best of batteries as the bike's are relatively cheap compared to most but that's about it?

    Help! Just got my first ebike (ADO A20F)

    That's interesting as it does have knobbly tyres on and probably 90% of my riding will be on tarmac so definitely something I will look into at some point in the future. Thanks Scorpio.

    That's what I bought as far as I'm aware and thanks for the support Atheo, I wasn't aware my first ebike was going to be so controversial! lol

    Help! Just got my first ebike (ADO A20F)

    Thanks Matt, my commute is actually around 6 miles there 6 miles back and is fairly hilly in part's so worst case scenario of 12 miles range on the battery should just about cover it hopefully.

    Help! Just got my first ebike (ADO A20F)

    Yes I'm in the UK and I have the EU/UK version that is locked to 250w. Actually you have just made me think, that's probably why mine has no P17 setting? Although as far as I know I should still be able to access it because it's supposed to be unlockable as it's legal to use 500w and throttle...

    Hello guys and merry Christmas one and all, I've just got my first ebike and I'm looking for some help. I have an ADO A20F and have just finished my 2nd ride, got to say I'm really enjoying it, although I'm a little disappointed with the range as doing 6 miles has used half the battery, it was...
