Aventon Soltera 2 Unlock The Top Speed!

[@speedf7890]

Thanks! I didn't realize i could do this. I was constantly hittiing the stock setting of 20mph and was like man i wish it would go just a little faster. Now it will lol thanks.

So what do you like more, the cadence or torque sensor soltera? I test rode the version 2 and found the power to be rough with a higher pitched whine versus the cadence. Power delivery too seemed kinda lumpy, like the dead zones of the pedal stroke would cause the motor cause micro surges.

[@stkyfngez]

I know exactly what you mean, and I felt the exact same way the first time I test drove it. The second time I tried the torque sensor, I got a feel for it, naturally found my groove, and experienced no lumpiness going forward. I currently prefer a torque, and going back to a cadence would now feel strange. I hope that makes sense. 😎

@@stkyfngez and a torque sensor if you're doing any trails

[@stkyfngez]

@@DD-xx8wh I agree, I kinda wish I still had the Soltera 1 in addition to the 2, for different terrains. Both systems definitely have pros and cons, and neither one is perfect for everything 😎

Does this still work? I haven’t seen it available on my app (just bought yesterday). Thanks!

[@stkyfngez]

Yes it should, I will test it again after work tonight and report back 👍

[@stkyfngez]

It still works for me, is it not allowing you to literally increase the speed from 20 to 25 within the app, or are you just not noticing the speed when actually riding the bike?

[@THExAndrewxO]

@@stkyfngez in the app when I go to settings I have a different looking interface that doesn’t even have that option you show. Hmm. Maybe I’ll make a quick video and post it haha

[@stkyfngez]

@@THExAndrewxO Yes, please do, that would help me to visualize and then compare with mine

[@stkyfngez]

@@THExAndrewxO I think I know what the problem is. When using the app, make sure that you are right next to your bike, with the bike powered on while changing the speed settings. If you do not have the bike powered on, the setting will appear differently. Let me know if this works for you 👍

[@DD-xx8wh]

thanks for the how to! wondering what the auto power setting is...?

[@stkyfngez]

Hey, for sure! What specific auto power setting are you referring to? I was able to increase the overall speed from the 20 mph set speed.

[@DD-xx8wh]

@@stkyfngez oops figured it out, auto power sets time to power off. thanks for the quick response, really enjoy your videos!

[@stkyfngez]

@@DD-xx8wh Thanks a lot dude, I appreciate that! I’ve got more coming soon, let me know if there’s any specific Soltera/other bike info that you’d like to see me cover on the channel 👍

[@joshisjustalright]

How hard do you feel like you have to pedal to get to 25MPH? I tried unlocking mine but it doesn’t seem to be doing anything.

[@stkyfngez]

I have to be pedaling pretty hard, and gaining quite a bit of momentum to get up to 25. I wish there was actually one lower gear added to this bike, that would make it easier to gain speed, especially if you were going down a hill.

[@DD-xx8wh]

@@stkyfngez various cassettes and chain rings are available also consider changing crank arm length.

[@stkyfngez]

@@DD-xx8wh Great ideas, I’ve talked to a couple guys in the bike shop, and they didn’t seem too confident in a solution, but I will explore these options 👍

[@speedf7890]

Is your bike turned on? i tried it just from the app and it wouldn't let me so i turned the bike on and then the app would let me change the speed.

[@stkyfngez]

@@speedf7890 Yes it is turned on, I’ve had a couple people ask me that since posting the video. I should have included that info
