Nikola soft mode pedal dip

[clementine418]

I did not get a chance to go out and ride much today but I've decided to do my everyday commute in soft mode for at least a week to see. Do you still like soft mode for going up steep hills? I haven't tried yet but curious as to how that works.

With some more time on the wheel in soft mode over the last couple days I feel this effect is most noticeable at slow speeds. If I'm cruising above 10 mph and carve there isn't really noticeable dip. But if I'm going roughly walking speed and turn the pedals dip. When I turn right they dip forward and when I turn left they dip backwards. I may not go all the way through the week as my original plan in soft mode and try hard mode for a few days to see if the behavior is consistent.

Hey new nikola + owner long time rider here.

Was having this same issue especially in soft mode but I calibrate using a leveler, switched to medium mode and tilted the pedals upwards a bit, and now I'm only getting noticeable dips on u turns. I make u turns at slower speeds and I know what to expect so I'm pretty happy now!

I have the same pedal dips when doing sharp turns. Not very pleasant but didn't find any way to remove them. Soft or medium mode didn't change anything, wheel calibrated with a level. Will switch to hard mode and see. How do you tilt upward the pedals?
