hi ! i have bought one of this , when drive up hill , when speed number should i use for climb easy ? # 2 or # 7 ? thank you .

Speed number is only for manual peddling only. Speed number is not electronic. Lower the number easier to peddle and slower the bike. Higher the number , the harder to peddle but travels the fast. I really love this bike. I have two.

Use gear #1 to pedal uphill. Depending on your speed you may need to use a higher gear. Note that the electric boost is independent of the gear used.

No, you don't have to be going down hill for it to go. It works by a simple right - left motion of the feet. It doesn't work up hill if the hill is too steep. My son rides it in about 4 different parks near our house. We don't use it in parks with steep hills because even though it's quite light I don't want to have to carry it up the hill. it works best on even and semi even smooth terrains. My son loves it.

The climbing ability depends heavily on two parameters. Most important is the rider weight and secondly how much they are willing and able to pedal. My daily commute also involves a couple of average hills, but nothing like SFO. My weight is 180 and with me, the bike would not be able to climb the average SFO hill, even with hard pedaling. The problem is that even in pedal assist mode, the motor will turn off after 25 seconds of hard effort, and then the weight of the bike is too much for riding up any hill.

Yes, you can control the speed. Actually it is really fast. Not the greatest if you have to go up a hill. But my son love it and can't wait for the snow to go away here so he can use it more. Hope that helps! Best to you!

There are 2 speeds. They are controlled by a gear change switch located on top of the screwdriver. There are 2 positions, low and high. Low is about 200rpm and has more torque. High is about 600 rpm. Others keep saying it is variable. It is not. The speeds are Off (0), Low (200), and High (600). The toggle switch on the side controls directions. Off in the center, clockwise tilted to the top, and counterclockwise tilted to the bottom. This is very easy to get used to and both speeds are easy to control. Just be warned that this is a light duty screwdriver and they are known to have problems with clutch slippage (or some kind of internal gear slippage) if you try to push them too hard. Great for light duty like electronics and small assembly. Get something better if you want to drive sheet rock screws into 2x4s on a regular basis. Best of luck - Jeff

Hello, the advantage of the "Summit" in comparison to "Rustler" I see four wheel drive! It is easier and more accurate than driving the Rustler, at just decent acceleration and top speed. The "Stamped" I see more than crawler, this vehicle is not as to the speed. If your budged slightly larger, I would recommend the 1/8 "Summit", which has some more options and an impressive size. I hope I could help a little. Greetings from Switzerland.

I'd say both. I use it in HIGH mode when going downhill. and in LOW or MID otherwise.

I've used them used under the wheels of some rather large class A motorhomes. What destroys them is if they start to slide when you drive onto them. You have to orient them like a staircase so that you are not attempting to "climb" more than the thickness of "one block per step". Rough, rocky ground can also damage them. In many situations, you'll need more than just 10 blocks. If you really want to be prepared, get 20, or even 30 blocks (two or three 10-pks.) If you use them under the rear of a motorhome that has duals, you need separate "staircases" of blocks for inner/outer wheels, because the blocks are not wide enough to support both inner and outer wheels on the width of a single block.

Its really good. I ride pretty often and I never make it past a 4 on The Marcy Bike. I use 2 for the warmup / cool down. I belive it gets up to 9 on the settings... maybe one day I will get higher!

That's not a simple question to answer. Do you want speed or torque for crawling? The lower the turns the more RPM you get, the higher the turns the more torque and less speed. For general bashing maybe start out with the Axial 27T or a 35T.

No trouble at all. I've used this many times at that speed for long distances and had no issues. Haven't gone past 85 though.

As a mobility scooter rider it is always a concern to know will my batteries last to get me home. I try to keep on top of this by closely monitoring distance traveled on a fresh charge. RMS amps per hour are useless for this purpose. I know I can do a 10 mile round trip on level ground with my scooter. Won't try a long steep hill on a 10 mile trip but 4 miles works. How much more??? Trial and error and judgment. Too many variables to engineer a neat answer in advance.

That could be a good idea. The electric motor or gas engine on the front wheel will add weigh to the wheel and produce more grip which will be so good when climbing a hill.

Going uphill in my 2007 Infiniti G35 was no problem. The only issue with using these on a rear wheel drive is your do not have the steering and braking as the traction is still on the rear wheels. I am still glad I used them but I had more control when put on my front wheel drive car.

I'm not sure,but it should climb your driveway with no problems.But,it doesn't do well on inclines,it simply does not have the torque.

This is probably not the board for you then. Going slightly uphill, two pushes won't get you very far. It's something that can be adjusted if you change the wheels maybe

Will need to know if ejecting uphill or downhill. Then look at Flotec's recommendations.
