“while i have no complaints with the way it rides and feels in the hand i do have an element of disappointment with the battery display options.
the real time % option been dropped is a mistake, the new battery bar is misleading in the way it does not inform riders accurately of the boards actual performance and its potential output under the current riding conditions.
an advanced rider likes to know how batteries are performing under load because they need to plan how much load vs what they can regen, when tackling a series of climbs and descents at the end of a ride this information is the difference between making the last climb or not.
real time information is power dumbed down battery bars are guesswork at best.”
“I would have instantly given the R-2 5 stars if the original firmware had not been changed to omit the battery % option in the preference menu. The real time information that the % readout I'm so used to gives, was for me, invaluable! I previously contacted HQ to ask the reason behind it's removal, but the answer given did not sit right with me. Seeing as it was already decided to be included in the preferences (as can be backed up by the fact the instruction manual still clearly describes how to select the % option) I am at a loss as to why it could not remain as an option, for us as the end user to change from the default bar meter if that was our preferred readout. Choice is always a good thing, as evidenced by the fact that we now have a deadmans switch, but can switch it off if not required (which is what I have already done, not being one of the large number that have been demanding one be fitted.) But that's fine by me because there is the Choice to use the deadmans switch or change it in the preferences if so desired. The issue of clarity, for me does not hold water after seeing Evolve's own ambassadors demonstrating the screen when the % option was selected, it looked just fine to me and as already stated, it would be for me to Choose if it were made available again! From my own personal point of view and may I add from other longer term Evolve owners I have had contact with, I/we would be very happy to hear that the % option will be re-instated in a future firmware update. So to end this on a more positive note, I will say that in each and every other department the R-2 really is game changing. P.S. I do hope this actually reaches the powers that be over on the Gold Coast. Regards Floyd Bailey.”
“R2 remote for my B GTX took a bit to Sync to the board but seems to be working well , but i had to adjust the one for the Carbon as the throttle was sticking on Full all the time .”
“Love it!! Takes the ride experience to another level. So much more responsive.
Worked for straight away, no complicated pairing procedure... Again the team at Evolve have shown they've put alot of thought into their products! Keep it up!!”
