do they make it harder to pedal if you drive a MT BRZ?

I've read about potential issues with aftermarket replacement pedals, specifically the accelerator pedal, but with everything stock I've had no issues whatsoever. The liner covers part of the dead pedal but it doesn't affect drivability or the way everything feels on the floor.

Mine is an auto transmission. No problems working the pedals and fit is perfect. I can't imagine it would affect shifting in a manual.

No it has the switch for pedal assist by the throttle, but it's just a standard part I think. It doesn't do anything. You always have to throttle this bike.

I've never had it happen, but it does warn you in their handbook that this is a bike to be ridden in more ideal conditions. They do however offer a more rugged mountain bike version, but it'll set you back another 1,000$

Yes, you can, resistance changes as you change gears. Be sure to order a block for the front tire so that the bike is level. If you don't the bike will slant down in the front.

Yes, but I don't think the brakes are as effective as those on a bike. Just go down hill with care.

No. Just hard surfaces. It would be too hard to pedal for a little guy or gal on grass or gravel.

I found it to be a combination of shifting and the remote tension cable. the tension adjustment adds resistance not like climbing, so I use the combination to get a realistic feeling. full remote tension adjustment will get you out of the saddle.

Yes. When my bike battery/controller *was working* I went back and forth in those modes. I used the throttle action to get up hilly spots, and manual pedal to exercise my legs. You can do both modes without turning the switch on and off - if the controller is not damaged. But that's another story...

Yes. You just have to get used to flipping the pedal into position with your toe.

Of course you'll lose a tiny bit of ground clearance, but I have an Ultra that isn't lowered and haven't had any problems cornering or going over speed bumps. They make a model thats made for lowered bikes, but I don't know the difference.

That's very plausible, Joe.However, changing the resistance could also be equivalent to keeping the same gear ratio, but pedaling uphill, which is what the user manual suggests is the effect of adding resistance.Thanks!

No, you have to get off your bike and turn a knob by the back tire to change your resistance. I set my resistance as hard as it will go and use my gears on my bike to switch things up while riding.

I live in a hilly area. I haven't found a hill I can't climb with peddle work in the right gear. You do have to peddle on hills. I never have to stand up in my seat, though. It's more like trying to peddle about the same as you would if there were no motor on flat ground. I have never had to jump off and push the bike up a hill, however, without peddling and gear changes, the bike will stop going up a steep hill. If you buy the newer model with the bigger motor, it might make a difference.

Run this on 2 cycle straight shaft RedMax BRZ2600S and it is a significant load. I really think this way too much for you.

Yes that sounds about right in the turbo mode. But that will affect your distance depending upon your terrain. The manufacture gears are for pretty much flat terrain. Optional gearing will solve the problem but again at a cost of distance. Mine is for sale because we moved to a heavy traffic area with no bike lanes.

No, that us not my experience. I go back and forth from pedaling to using the power. It is easy and so nice. It pedals just like a regular bike .

Nope, no faster; easier to go up hills in the lower gears though. Best wishes, Robt.
