Based on my experience after 5000 miles on my KO3s I think the efficiency hit is about 10-15 percent. I’m running mine at 52 psi. It has, however, been great to be rid of the loud whine emitted by the Pirelli OEM tires as they aged. I’ve now driven the KO3s in rain and in snow and they get a...

I replaced my OEM Pirelli AT tires with 30k miles with Goodrich KO3s a couple of weeks ago in anticipation of a trip from Connecticut to Orlando and back in our quad motor R1S. After that 2200 mile jaunt, I can report the heavier LT spec KO3s with more robust sidewalls reduce efficiency by...

After 30k miles on the OEM Pirelli AT tires I’m getting KO3s mounted today. Definitely wanted new tires before we get snow.

I have the Weistec rock sliders installed on my R1S. My local independent tire shop has been happy to do my rotations and I’ll be using them to replace my original Pirelli AT tires with Goodrich KO3’s in a couple of weeks. Weistec sliders differ in retaining access to all four lift points...

https://www.rideapart.com/news/735146/can-am-origin-electric-motorcycle-review/ Cool looking and tons of torque. 70 mile range works for my favorite New England back road circuit.

The Rivian Adventure Network chargers at Christiana Mall, just south of Wilmington, Delaware, are doing a brisk business this morning. Five of the six stations were in use by green Rivians. Four Forest Green Rivians and my Launch Green.

Much appreciated since I’m planning to go with KO3s when my Pirelli OEM tires are ready to go. They’re at 8/32 and noisy with 22k.

Try one more time with the Rivian inside the garage rather than in front of it. Mine finally synched that way.

Had a 9:00 appointment today at the new Shelton CT service center to have a failed automatic windshield wiper sensor replaced. Excellent service experience from a friendly team. Work completed, R1S washed, and on my way home by 10:30.

I’ll be replacing my original Pirelli AT tires this Fall, and those three are my leading contenders. I’m strongly leaning toward the KO3s because 1) they feature enhanced siping vs. Goodrich’s already excellent KO2s, and 2) the local family-owned tire shop that regularly rotated my Rivian’s...

Our R1S has proven to be an excellent dog show support vehicle. Pet mode, handy electric outlets, and plenty of room to carry Gunner travel kennels, grooming tables, pop-up canopy, and other show gear.

My sailboat‘s auxiliary power is a Mastervolt 24v inboard 2.5kw electric motor with two 200Ah batteries and solar panels on the foredeck to keep the batteries topped off when she’s on her mooring. https://www.frenchwebb.com/bella-luna

They’re awesome. Also no more complaints about entry and exit from my wife.

I agree that the reduced range is not caused by the underbody shield. Until last year, there was no All Terrain Package. The R1S with 20” wheels/AT tires without the then optional reinforced underbody shield had the same range. I‘ve added rock sliders by Direct Current Engineering sold by...

I’ve loved the R1S since we got it six months and 10,000 miles ago. My wife still quibbles about lengthening the duration of our road trips with charging stops. That’s why I was a bit surprised on our drive from Savannah to Connecticut this week when she suggested we should submit a preorder...

These are the very robust Direct Current Engineering rock sliders sold by Weistec Engineering. They should outlast the R1S.

As others have noted, RAN sites are more plentiful on the route further inland but RANs are still pretty spotty along the heavily traveled I-95. The newest RAN in Delaware just south of the Delaware Memorial Bridge is a welcome addition.

On our road trip from Connecticut to Savannah I only wish there were more Rivian Adventure Network charging locations along the I-95 corridor. The three we’ve stopped at have been operating perfectly and immediately available. The simple no App swiping or card swiping at these locations is...

We’re headed out from Connecticut to Savannah in the R1S first thing Tuesday. Today, on Christmas Eve afternoon, I discovered a screw embedded in one of my 20” AT front tires. Understandably, the two closest tire shops were closed today but I was lucky to find a Firestone Tire shop that was...
