Stock gauges are way off. My Red Brozz is 3 mph off at lower speeds and as much as 6 mph at high speeds. My bike reads 68mph which is really 62.

I tried my free from the Google Play Store GPS Speed O app today, and when my bikes speed O reads 54 my GPS speed O reads 50. I have noticed that the GPS reads 1, or 2 sometimes when I'm not moving. I don't know if there is any truth to what I'm about to say, but I was reading up on the GPS speed O apps, on Google, and I noticed that some claim they are intentionally set up to read around 5% -10% high to reduce liability in speeding cases, and traffic incidents.

Tan Recon is out of her crate.

Recons up and running!

Hey guys finally finished assembling the Tan Recon yesterday. I took the bike out on a shakedown run. Everything seem fine. I was traveling down a dirt road transitioning into asphalt. Lots of small to medium size pot holes. I wanted to test out the suspension, so I didn’t avoid them. I was traveling 25-30 mph-ish. I stood up slightly on the pegs and leaned back. Front suspension worked perfectly. On the last pot hole I heard a loud bang coming from the rear suspension. I pulled over immediately and gave everything a once over. Everything seemed fine. Now, I heard the bang!, but I didn’t feel any impact transference such as the bike bottoming out.

Back track a few days prior. I was testing the Green Recon. Going up and down a small incline perhaps 6-8 ft in height mild grade, nothing crazy. I hit it in my E-bike. While going up it I heard a similar bang from the rear suspension. But everything visually looks okay.

Sounds like you bottomed out the rear.. It happens..

Guys, I finally was able to sell my 2018 Red Brozz. Nice fellow, he plans to use it as a daily driver. I sold the bike for $1500.00. I held out to get the price I wanted. Lots of low balls offers.

Not a bad sale price.. Guessing you bought when the price was lower than current $1950, so that wouldn't be much depreciation factoring in age and mileage.
