I just received mine & the speed sounds the same regardless of the gear setting. Id think there should be a noticable difference. Is it defective

another way to determine if there is a speed difference is to wrap a piece of tape around the chuck and mark it. you can see the rpm change. mine has no noticeable sound change

If you are changing speed selector on top (1 or 2), you should notice big difference of speeds, if not return it. Be aware that numbered clutch ring on back of chuck is for clutch settings, not speeds.

There is definitely a difference between the low gear (#1, more torque) and the high gear (#2 for drilling) on my drill. I would return it if yours doesn't.

I have had mine for several years, and no problems whatsoever. It sounds like yours is defective and you should see about having it exchanged.

Yeah I just set mine up and the motor is pretty loud. I'm thinking of returning it because of that even though everything else is great.

I just recently replaced my motor and have not had any issues so far. My initial motor still works, however, it was the gear box that crapped out .... lasted about five years and begin screeching and grinding (gears wore out ... unfortunately you can't find a kit to just replace the gears). So, I have a backup motor now.

I've only used it set up on a trainer. I believe the output is related to speed so the slower you go the less output you will get.

I don't have any problem with mine... It work great for me... One of the best pedal so far...

I love my, I got it last week and it makes such a difference !!! I am running on the 1st setting and it is amazing how it performs !!! It is smoother and shifts great !!! I can see that if you run the other settings it might hurt the transmission but on this setting it is no problem !!!

It colors the tone when engaged, and also adds a bit of noise. Most compressors do. But adding a clean power supply or a noise suppressor will fix that. If I recall correctly, a low output from the pedal results in low noise.

Well mine is high speed and too loud to talk around and does not move much air considering the speed.Next time ill try a low speed belt drive they are quiet and move more air.Very disappointed with my Q standard!

Hitting the mode button should cycle between 'km/h' and 'mph' every time you press the button. I assume you are doing this after pushing the "All Clear" button, and if so, sounds like your unit isn't working properly. Only other thing I can think of is make sure the battery is good. I have three of these units by the way, on 3 bikes. Just replaced one that turned itself off in mid-ride and close to impossible to start up again.

Good Question for Amazon if they have both speeds posted. It is 5400RPM NOT A 7200 RPM

I made the purchase as a gift for my daughter. She loves it and says you change the gears on your bike for resistance change. Perhaps there's a problem with your bike? Or you could ride for a longer time to burn more calories? Perhaps a more expensive model would have the features you want?

Mine doesn't make noise as I'm turning the gears, but if you hit the stops too hard, they'll make a "clunk." I'm not using this on a daily basis, but for the price, it is totally worth it. Works very smoothly in my opinion.

I too thought that the gearbox was broken. Turns out the gearbox speed change mechanism sometimes wouldn't engage fully whether pushing or pulling. Make the belts are aligned and the clutch knob is secure first. I found that if I spun the blade pulley slowly by hand while firmly engaging the clutch knob the internal gears would engage and viola! I now had the new speed. In time the gears should wear-in enough that speed changing will become much easier. I also make sure that power is disconnected from the saw before I grab the pulleys. Don't want to damage or lose any fingers.-Bud,

I'd say it was defective b/c this motor doesn't make a sound, and I don't think setting it up incorrectly would affect the way the motor sounds.

Nope, it sounds like your pedal is faulty and needs to be replaced/fixed. Send it back.

I have not had any problems with mine. I use the slow speed almost 100% of the time.
