Ahh. The old Panasonic powered Giant Lafree? Brings back memories of my first go on an ebike.

Indeed, my first e-bike.

Other than battery level, I don't personally think that anything else is needed.

My perfect display would just give power settings, battery level, and be the size of an old Casio digital wrist watch.

By comparison to your old unit, this is the current Panasonic display, as fitted to my e-Race P

The annoying thing about this display, which frequently gets mentioned by other owners, is that it is all too easy knock the power button whilst trying to change settings, when wearing gloves.

The following highlights one of the reasons that I hate Nyon so much.
Besides being too big and useless for e-mtb use, it also has a very annoying habit of changing the menu settings when used over bumpy terrain. This issue has also been raised other users, that ride off road. When the display does it, it is almost impossible to reset the display whilst riding.
In the clip, the display had already changed before setting off, and I didn't notice until the one minute point in the clip.

Yes, it's the trouble with so many of the refinements. Fine in the lab but in the worst working conditioins simplicity can pay off best.

Eddie, watch this space around August / September later this year. Your dream might come true. Not saying anymore -TBC.

Ditto

 

[Croxden]

I want speed, mileage, trip, time as well as power settings and battery level.

If it's not in mph I won't buy the bike.

Agree with the Nyon comments though. Typical design by committee as they said about the camel.

Thanks for the heads up Martin, but I have already seen it. I just wasn't sure of the launch date.

A far more practical solution.

You look to be rattling along at a good pace in that vid.

Shame the gadget didn't show how fast...

 

[EddiePJ]

Thanks Rob, I'm not really sure how fast that it was. The other lad is always faster though, as I'm too conscious that deer often jump out from the side of the track.

I took another Intuvia photo today.

 

[Martin@e-bikeshop]

Ahem!

10 more km and we set a new eBike world record! Staggering in just 9 months
