On a long drive, I have gotten in the habit of running my battery down to about half, then switch to charge mode as long as I am riding above 45 mph at a steady pace. I let the battery charge to the max, as I frequently encounter slowdowns and don't want to get caught short of battery. As the batter...
I think the ride is a little stiff...but some people like that. I think the overall build and performance quality is good to excellent.

Would that be the same salesman who told me that I could charge the battery in my key fob by putting it in the slot? :roll: :lol: ;) I really think that most of them don't have a clue... It would be the same salesman that told me the Phone app would work while my train was 10 or 15 minutes from my ...
