Hi all, Good news. @Titan Racing Bikes pulled through and made all the changes needed to get the bike up to spec. Very cool bunch of people that are def willing to help the customer. Buy with confidence. @Hubcap888 The bike does have settings, below is a video of what they all mean. I have only changed these at the request of their technician. However, there is a setting that deals directly with the lag issue, setting P11. In my instance, the motor was faulty and that is what was causing the sporadic cutout. They did a warranty replacement on the motor. I am enjoying my bike now. Thanks again @Titan Racing Bikes!

Just to take note, the actual screen never turns off. Just the power from the motor.

Bike is in today for the free service bridge cycles offers on a new bicycle purchase. Brakes are squeaking super loud when coming to a stop, maybe they are contaminated? And the chain is skipping (not sure how to explain that correctly). Hopefully that will all get sorted out. Things that are still not quite right. 1) Lag issue is still present 2) Cut out issue still happens sporadically 3) The battery bars are very up and down, can go to 3 bars, then 2 bars, then back up to 3 bars. So not very consistent or trustworthy. Just posting my updated experience so far. EDIT: just to add, one thing Carlo did mention when it first went in for the cadence sensor replacement, was that he was not very happy with the system this bike uses. Not too sure what he meant by that, but maybe future bikes will go a different route. Just a pity I will miss out on that.

I am past any of that.

@Titan Racing Bikes - My brother rode the same model at cycle labs and reported the same thing. Also going by what @Hubcap888 is reporting, it seems to be within "spec". As I said, I don't think I can pay what I paid and expect more. In retrospect, I should have saved up more money and bought a different model.

I mean, thanks for the advice I guess. This is more down to two things. 1) The one issue really only revealed itself after hitting the hills and is very intermittent 2) The lag issue was just me not knowing what is normal, now I know other e-bikes do not experience this, or def to not as large of an extent I was just trying to get to the bottom of it, but as I said, it looks to just be what you get at this price point.

So this is the issue I am still left with yes. It is exactly that. They replaced the cadence sensor which partially fixed the stop-start on hills issue that I had, but it is still prevalent. Just not as much. I am not sure there is much more @Titan Racing Bikes can do for me.

I will shoot you a PM

They replaced the cadence sensor for me with a newer and improved model I believe. The e-bike is ok, but I think my expectations for the price point are a bit too high. After riding other e-bikes, I think I should have saved a bit more and purchased one of those. It will do the job for now, but a lesson has been learned. This is my fault in the end. Thanks to titan racing for trying to sort it out.

I am on the titan racing charge 2 which is fine for me, but she wants to splash out a bit more.

Cool, then just ask as you did. 40km was our longest ride. 25km/h or so Mixed, road, gravel, single track, bike park She is maybe average fitness. No throttle needed, pedal assist only. Possibly to work and back. Must be MTB, not a road or gravel bike.

MTB

I see all the clowns are out today, lol

On both bikes, she could not keep up. I am now on an ebike, which has just added to it. Anyways, this should not matter. She wants an ebike, at R50k any suggestions?

she wants to keep up with me, so that is non negotiable

What mountain ebike would you buy at R50 000 budget?

Haha, I actually might be selling that soon as well. But not for R3000

So is my range now R3500 to R9000? haha

I did a full service at bridge cycles in 2021. It was all fine. I did not ride it a helluva lot.

I am putting my feelers out for the below bicycle, what could I sell this for? Specialized Rockhopper Comp 29 2015 New VITTORIA BARZO 29" X 2.25 26TPI Tyres with slime (taken from my titan racing bicycle)

@ChrisF @Zebra - As it stands @Titan Racing Bikes were nice enough to arrange a collection of my bicycle to take a look at it. They have installed a new cadence sensor and I will be getting the bicycle back tomorrow. I will report back if that resolves my issue or if that is just how the bike is.

I am having a similar issue on my new charge E two. Does your screen stay on when the cutout occurs? My screen stays on, but there is just no motor on pedal assist 5 and going below even 20 km/h. Is this not perhaps the problem? @Titan Racing Bikes ? @Zebra tagging you here cause you responded to my message.

I have tested other e-bikes, chilled squirrel being one of them. They did not do this. But that is where I thought it might be the difference between cadence and torque sensor.

To the owners, previous owners, or test riders out there. I bought my Titan Racing Charge e-two just over a week ago and have a question. It works with a cadence sensor I believe (SENSOR DOUBLE HALL, KT-V12, 12 MAGNET) - I have what feels like lag or cut out (screen always stays on!) when under 25 km/h, whether on straight or uphill. This will happen unless I get my cadence perfect. Just to be clear I am not talking about stopping pedaling or anything like that, as I know this will cut off the motor. Sometimes even when the cadence is the same, it will go, then stop, then go, then stop. Is this just how e-bikes are? I know @Titan Racing Bikes are busy looking into this for me as well. so will report back what they tell me. I was doing some research over the weekend and also saw there are two types of sensors, torque, and cadence sensors, so maybe that is what I must expect?

Is it ok to ride the titan racing charge 2.0 in light rain?
