Do NOT leave this plugged in overnight. The manual says this for battery life and safety. I nearly had a fire in my garage after leaving this plugged in to long. These batteries or chargers do not shut off when full like a cell phone or a Tesla. They keep charging and can cause excess heat or explosion. I came out in the morning to horrible burnt plastic smell, a fried battery and charger. Returned to Costco.

*Additional comments* did buy a new one from costco and have followed the instructions to a T and its been amazing. Love the bike!
these drain battery even if you don't use them. Mine was fully charged, left it in my trunk for 4 days and its completely dead when I took it out
The battery is not "NEW"

so it's a bit of gamble I think.

refurbished have new or used battery?

Lifespan of batteries are limited, so there's a trade-off from the reduced price of the refurbished products. Batteries represent a significant portion of cost so there's some risk the refurbished batteries are short lived and not providing the range and power expected.

link? I got this deal and plan to modify it, however I only know of a dual 36/48v controller that costs 80.

I have a simple goal, get around 20mph so humans cant chase me down, and more than enough range (36v 10-15AH or 48v 10ah).
search ebay for "36v/48v 350w electric controller" and sort by lowest price. as low as $12.

Prius is basically an electrical car with a small battery (and engine to change the battery). Toyota is playing the game the right way. They will go EV when people are ready.
The $4,502 full credit for the Prius Prime will be cut to $2,251 OCT.1st and $1,126 April 2023.

Toyota/Lexus have sold over 200k EV vehicles and tax rebates will be fading. Just an FYI if anyone is interested.

Quote from SlickCrayon1512 :
Tesla is obviously overpriced for the vehicle itself but considering the glass and especially the self driving, I pay whatever they want as long as it's not that unreasonable. Toyotas are still brilliant as for now, and I still am very satisfied with the hybrid sienna, but you can definitely see it falling in the next 5 or 10 years. Toyota has no advantage over European and especially, Chinese electric car makers. In fact it fall behind on self driving by a lot. Electric motors are quite simple and long life without the reliability issue of gas motor and since Japanese motors got no advantage. A couple of Chinese car makers and Tesla (only Tesla, not anyone else) have the most advanced self driving tech. So that's it. Toyota is losing. And that's why their CEO is so angry with ecars lol.
It's important to understand that EV vehicle and self driving technology are two separate things.

self driving technology is not new, we could have had it 10 years ago. so it's not that the technology is not ready it's that the system is not ready for it. the legislative branch and infrastructure is so behind on this that i don't expect any big improvements in the next 5 years (may be some local small scale implementation, that's about it) in the US.

as for Toyota and Nissan, they already have EV (hybrid) and they are well positioned to take advantage of the market when the market is ready for 100% EV. despite of how tempting EV is, it still has a lot of disadvantages (price, charging stations, distance limitations, fast charging . . . ).

as for china, their advantage is long-term government planing, and low cost. this model has worked well for them in the last 30 years, they will do the same and dominate everything unless we sanction them economically (tariffs) or political (software security).

Quote from zxylene :
This makes me laugh a little. Media and others have so many fooled. I have almost 70,000 miles on Tesla model 3 now 2.5 years old. Any part of this car makes me think what the hell have other auto makers been doing the last 50 years. Status quo. I have owned Toyota Tundra, pickup, sienna and lx570 and still own the lx570 and sienna. Several Hondas 2 civics and 4 accords. You could take Autopilot,FSD the screen, entertainment, acceleration , efficiency handling, center of gravity, safety even the roof and any one part of those added to even a diesel spitting out black smoke and it would still be better than most cars but that is not the case. in every Tesla you get stuff that only super cars, super efficient ugly aerocars, and much not done in any cars before. Plus it is electric so like your Hunter fan, quality dril, elevators, escalators, well pumps and other well built motor will run 24/7 for 20 years. Batteries I have tools 20 years old still great batteries 1500 cycles would be 495,000 miles and still not dead once they use LFP those are 3500 plus cycles or over 1 million miles Regardless Toyota I believe is holding back because they will need lots of batteries etc that they don't have. also all car companies have been set up to make money on service and repairs the main reason new car companies have not been able to make it. Selling cars with no profit and not having millions already at age for service and repairs how can a new company compete? Toyota and others are ok as they will continue to get money from repairs and service for regular cars while they start selling EVs at a loss or not much profit but it will slowly hurt the dealership network so they will need to make profit soon on EVs but that will need to be with high volume which takes a lot of batteries not sure they have that as one EV could make 5 or more Prius primes. It will be interesting
dealerships are the thing of the past, they are fighting hard to stay relevant but it's a moot point. and yes motor > engine. but the notion that tesla is the only brand that can make a profitable EV is ludicrous, considering that the technology to build EV not as hard as a combustion engine, that is why you see so many new players in the game. tesla has the upper hand in the US only, and the competition from all over the place is yet come.

as for the 70k miles, a prius can avarage +200k before needing a new battery and can run for +300k . from $ stand point you will have to run tesla for 500k to breakeven (that is if you never have to change the battery). if you like tesla, cool ; but if you are looking for the biggest band per mile for your $ - tesla is not it. focus on math, not feelings.

This specific model? Or the one with a screen? Any flats or battery replacements during that time?

"Re-manufactured" for this particular item looks like a convenient way to skate out of the normal warranty.

yep, I worked for a reseller who would do stuff like that when the manufacture would send defective or near defective items.

you can tell that this "re-manufactured" bike is missing a lot of parts that the costco one has. additional differences could be not so obvious until 6 months down the line.

Not the original commenter but I have had this bike for about 1.5 years now as well - highly recommend for short trips around a city, but wouldn't recommend it for longer trips. I haven't had any tire issues, but battery life has definitely decreased over time. Still have not had to replace the battery though.

I also would not recommend this bike to anybody over ~5 foot 10 inches. It's fairly small and looks / feels like you're riding a children's bike, so if you're tall it will be very uncomfortable.

EDIT: A few more comments - the "folding" aspect is a joke, the handlebar just folds down but the rest of the bike is still just as big. Also I have never reached even close to that 30 mile range, much closer to 10 miles even when I first got it.

I'm surprised this is legal. I'm pretty sure battery overcharge protection is required for UL listing.

When you say 10 miles are you referring to throttle only, or with pedal assist?

Thanks for the response. I appreciate it.
