EggRider

Makes my rad bike RAD!!

Just received an Eggrider V2, the app will connect briefly then disconnects again. Tried everything they suggest to get it to work and still nothing…..stay far far away from it. App has serious flaws

App is great in general but, whether the app or the device, Bluetooth connectivity is awful. Hard to get and to stay connected, which affects ride performance.

I refuse to let it use my personal data.

A nice efficiency vs distance graph at the bottom of the speedometer screen was added a while back. Still waiting for the instantaneous values displayed to be averaged over several seconds instead. Amps, watts, and efficiency jump around too fast to read. I like the access to the various parameters of the motor controller, and the user manual is explaining them much better now. Trip data are excellent. One suggestion though. Include the efficiency graph from the speedometer display. Most recent version, 2.6.05, shows a nonsense range value. I don’t care much, but nonsense values are annoying. The app disconnects when switching to another app for more than a minute or so.

I’ve been using it for about a year now on my YouTube channel “MrCentralDriver”. This is a great display I use it all the time to adjust my settings the only thing that is a downside is that you need to reset the display each time you flash any settings for it to save and be active. Most advanced ebike tuners can be flashed on the fly and activate immediately. But other than that it’s great!

The app itself is decent. Good UI but the connectivity is not great. I’ve tried two Eggrider Displays and each one loses connection while riding which changes the battery to none selected and my battery percentage goes way down and I start to get cutouts. I thought it might have been the Eggrider I was using so I purchased another and the same thing happens. So it must be the app. It’s incredibly frustrating. Eggrider, if you see this and have a fix, I will gladly change my review.

V2.6 now requires sharing of all phone data with any 3rd parties. I used to love my EggRider as it was the best upgrade to your eBike that you could get — period. But as of V2.6, the app now requires you to accept allowing all of your phones full data to be shared and tracked by any 3rd party the company may share with. Many of us in the very active EggRider Facebook group objected and requested they immediately revert to V2.5 until they are able to reasonably limit the amount of data the user is forced to share with the app, but we were met with silence and an empty promise of “we will try better in the future”. This isn’t Flappy Bird or TicTacToe that we can just do without until resolution, this is our primary transportation that you have stripped from us unless we give you access to all of our data including precise GPS tracking location and agree that you can share it with the world. It’s an unreasonable expectation from the developer. I will update this review back to 5 stars once this glaring data privacy and security issue is resolved.

Per Apple’s own policy: “If you see a request to track your activity, you can tap Allow or Ask App Not to Track. You can still use the full capabilities of the app, regardless of whether you allow the app to track your activity.” This app will not function without being granted tracking privileges, which is in clear violation of the rules. Apple should never have allowed this update to slip through in the first place. Shame on the developer for doing this, shame on Apple for not catching it.

Get this message when opening the app and then it force quits itself. Just started happening tonight after working great. Just updated to newest iOS. Please help! All my settings went to default and I can’t change them back
