Grandvista 250 / Re: UBS (United Braking System) and high speed?
« on: July 07, 2015, 05:35:21 AM »
Hi Carter! I know you from previous service to my 2006 burgundy People 150. Glad to see you here, and a Hero Member no less! Actually you were the one who recommended I look into the GV for a better ergonomic fit. So I bought it via Craigslist from original owner who got it from you guys. It is a more comfortable ride, though I'm still getting used to smaller wheels... I felt a bit safer on the People!
UBS is the term used in the manual. I figured they were talking about brakes locking up; I just wondered if I had to avoid applying both brakes at high speeds, and instead favor the left? Anyway, good to hear it's not too easy to lock them.
I am experiencing a couple issues so far: high noise at above 35 mph, probably made worse by a partial-face helmet; and the seat not releasing sometimes. Is that 2nd one a known issue? I'm not sure what the fix is.
Cheers!
