8 months agoYou said “I guess it reduces clutter at the handlebars” in your review. I think that the sensor could be anywhere along the hydraulic brake lines.
ReplyCourt
8 months agoYeah, I think you’re correct about that Doug. However, most of the motor inhibitor sensors I have seen are incorporated into the brake levers and require a separate cable. Perhaps it’s less expensive this way? It might make bleeding the brakes a lot easier than if there was some sort of inline sensor. Maybe they could combine the two wires in a fatter wire? Lots of possibilities, but in general, motor inhibiting brake levers do clutter up the cockpit on ebikes I’ve seen.

8 months agoBRAIN report Cannondale is conducting a recall to replace the front rack on Treadwell models, the rack should be removed until Cannondale provide replacement hardware source here.

8 months agoNice find, Dewey! Thank you SO much for taking the time to provide a source and share this with us. Good to know for sure ;)

7 months agoThis is in deed useful to know. But unfortunately not all dealers seem to be aware of this it would seem. My wife got this bike last week, and on first ride the basket attachment failed as described in the article, she came off the bike and now now has a broken arm that needed surgery. First ride. Not a great start to life with this bike.

7 months agoYou mentioned “won’t produce a lot of noise or any drag.” about the Mahle motor, but if you are peddling alongside another cyclist without electric support or coast downhill the drag is noticeable. When you take the wheel out and spin it while holding the axle you rally have to hold it tight. My local Evanscycles said that this is normal and it is not the bearings.
The fenders need adjusting regularly as they keep rattling on bumpy roads. Front rack has been recalled and no alternative is offered. I like my bike nonetheless.
ReplyCourt
7 months agoHi Walter! Thanks so much for sharing these real-world experiences with us. Perhaps there is something different about this hub motor that increases drag? Usually gearless motors freewheel without additional friction, so that’s where I was coming from… but I haven’t owned or tested as extensively as it sounds like you have. I’m so glad that you’re enjoying the bike, despite the little fender adjustments here and there. I really appreciate your comment!

6 months agoWhile you mention that the iWoc One control interface feels “unfamiliar and unintuitive”, I think that’s a huge understatement. Frankly, it’s a terrible design. First, you have to take your hand off the handlebar, and your eyes off the road, to change assist levels. On the bumpy and hilly roads of Connecticut where I live, this is not only awkward, it’s unsafe. Second, assist levels can only be changed in one direction (i.e., low to medium to high to off). On my other e-bike which has a handlebar remote, I find myself frequently changing assist levels in both directions. Finally, it would have been so easy for Cannondale to correct this problem by installing the iWoc Trio on the handlebar. I’m trying to do that now, but unfortunately, it’s virtually impossible to find the Trio anywhere.
Don’t get me wrong, I think the Treadwell Neo is a beautiful e-bike, and most of your comments were spot on, but I think you should’ve been much more critical of the missing handlebar-mounted controller. I wouldn’t advise anyone to buy an e-bike that doesn’t have one.
ReplyCourt
6 months agoThanks for helping to fill in those details (about the iWoc Trio, and just how important a bar controller with up/down or +/- are). I know that my reviews can sometimes be too optimistic or positive when it comes to glaring misses. I try to be constructive, because I realize that each person has a different use case. I have my own perspectives, and I try to soften them as well. It really helps to hear individual voices in the comments, like you’ve done here, so thanks :)
