- Battery life is typically 12 hrs, same as the original Bolt, slightly less than the 15 of Bolt 2. If doing a really long ride over that, you can add a USB stick battery...
- Touchscreen with full finger gloves is not an issue I've had and there are 4 buttons that do everything the touch screen does.
- Phone integration is a non issue as there's no real phone app that does anything other than BT connect and pushes text and other notifications. If you want full time connection you install a SIM card for a cheap wireless cell connection, that really only gets you LiveTrack and you can alternately connect via a phone hotspot.
