Urbanmover Electric Bike, UM-44

Urbanmover Electric Bike, UM-44

Just bought one from Costco in Santa Cruz. It was a little tricky selecting one that had the right chain lock key. Had to adjust the front brake cable tension and the placement of the bell and power indicator.

Charged battery over night and took it on a 11 mile ride.
After around 8 miles the fifth battery indicator LED would start going off when I was pedaling hard. After the 11 miles, the forth LED would blink a little. Considering my weight and how hard I pushed it, the battery seems to be holding up well.

I am using a GPS as the odometer for now, until I can add a dedicated bike computer.

The 250 W motor has suprising torque. It really helps getting you going from a stop. It also helps going up easy grades. On steep hills it still doesn't have the power it self, but does help keep you going.
