Charging my Karoo 2 in ride.

generally able to keep the Karoo 2 charged. But once I get below the speed required for 2.5 watt, approx 12 km/h, Karoo stops charging and I have to unplug/plug in the cable once I am above 15 km/h. No matter how fast I go, Karoo does not resume charging by itself.

charger is a nifty pice, cycle2charge.

it would be great if the Karoo would always stay in charging mode. 

in the current heatwave another observation: sometimes, in the greatest heat, charging seems not to work at all.

  Same configuration here, but I‘m not sure if my hub dynamo is wonky or not. Which revision is your Cycle2Charge? Mine is v3+, and my understanding is that it _should_ restart the USB connection automatically after a drop in speed/power.

  Same, v3+

  I think it is up to the Karoo 2 to restart charging
