That is because when you spin it backwards you drag the motor around with it, but when you spin it forward it freewheels. It happens because of the one way bearings. It's normal.

If anyone knows of an ESC that has current control (torque control) similar to that of a bike controller I'd be grateful to hear of it.

The reason it's greyed out is because the software is in boat mode, as indicated in the top left. The current limit is an air function. ;) It'snot a screenshot from when this particular ESC was connected.

If you look at the screenshot on the aliexpress spage you see "current limit". I got a reply now from them saying it doesn't have current limiting. Typical Aliexpress seller inconsistensy. I will now ask how they limit "power", which isn't a reverse limit.

The ESC programming software has a setting called "Power Restriction", and power limit for forward and reverse if reverse is used. I wonder what the heck "Power restriction" is. Does it restrict current? It doesn't make sense to restrict "power". I have asked them on Ali. Actually, I will use...

That gives off more electric wheelchair vibes than velomobile vibes to me. :)

I'm thinking about getting one of these, but I need to know how the current limiter works. Does it work like e-bike controller and allo acceleration at the current limit, or does it work like RC ESCs and cut power when you hit the limit...

Ant yet they claim it has "Danish quality and design". :)

I have decided to take a break. I'll continue on the project at a later time.

What? it broke? I though it was perfect in every way.

The clearance is roughly 12-13 mm (roughly 1/2"). Some carbon fiber frames may be too thick. Just about all aluminum or steel frames are thin enough.

No. It just shows both first and tenth gear so that I could see if the chain tensioner would work. :) However, it would be possible to make a two speed system with double chains that shifts up when the cadence gets high enough, using a centrifugal clutch. Would probably be really hard without...

Looks like the motor is pbeing pulled around when you spin the gear manually. My guess is the motor freewheel is stuck, and that the problem is not in the pedal axle or pedal freewheel. The pedal axle doesn't even move in your video.

Ideally I'd like to use a non-contact derailleur at the cassette and a large tensioner sprocket to reduce drag to an absolute minimum. The drawing shows a 76 tooth chainwheel. EDIT: Also it shows the chain line when in forst and in tenth gear to see if the tensioner would be able to span the...

The wheel diameter settings in my BBS do not give acccurate speeds. I just use a GPS and change up or down as necessary.
