Hi everybody,
So had a busy day today had to be in London for 7.30 which meant a 5 in the morning alarm uuuurrrr never good, finally arrived home at 6 this evening and my battery had arrived not only that but the sun was still shining, so despite wanting to go straight to bed i HAD TO go for my fist proper C5 run.
Got my battery in and took to the streets, i can honestly say i loved every minute of it and quickly realized one of the hardest things about riding around in a C5 is trying to answer the constant questions being asked by people, also got quite alot of "that's amazing mate" from car windows and general positive reactions, people staring from cars was at the 100% mark easily.
My only concern was that i was only out for about half an hour max and most of the time i was using peddle power, to begin with every time i engaged the motor my pod was showing 3 amber lights one on the far left one on the far right and one directly in the center and i was only using the motor for short bursts as advised, but about half way through my run the pod began to show an amber light on the far left an amber light on the far right and a RED light also on the right directly before the amber one and this was the case every time i used the motor from that point on, just wanted to clarify i wasn't engaging the motor from a stand still i was always moving a good speed before hand and i was only using short bursts probably no more than 5 seconds at a time,
should i be freaking out about this
?? as i remember Karl advising me to stay out of the red,
when i got home i gave it another burst from the motor to do this i just raised the back end and wasnt actually in the seat and the red light was still showing, i then left it to sit for about 10-15 minutes and done the same thing again and it was back to normal (no red light) im just worried i did something wrong but i followed all the advice and definatley didnt put too much strain on the motor.
Any advice would be great.
Thanks
Ant
