I had to push and bend the aluminum bars a bit. However, that being said, Im not about to complain. The app shows you the battery status of the case and each freebud. Den Preis von 85 Euro finde ich aber nicht angemessen. Hopefully this was the odd exception. However there is no place for a water bottle and yes you do need one as you do pedal and I leave the motor off for the first 30 miles anyway. I may purchase a second pair in the smaller size but will test these out for a while before I do that. very simple. The audio quality is better than expected, but not surprising given the brand. The foot bed is soft, perhaps a little too soft to my taste, but this is something other people may actually like.
