25km limit is just dumb, I'm not the best cyclist out there but I can do 25km on my dual suspension MTB, and easily break 35km on a roady. As for 200W limit, I've never riden a 200W before, but 500W is a lot more reasonable! Fastest I got (before running out of gears) was 55km per hour, and...

I bought my 650W kit from extreme cybershop in Perth, it took about a week. Cost a bit more to buy than direct from Taiwan, but I have the piece of mind that I can speak to someone in Australia to get help and its still cheaper than most other places.

I've just upgraded my 500w to 650w (cos I could, no probs with the 500w). The issue I found with the upgrade was finding a place to mount the motor controller, as the 500w had one built it. The weight of the 650w didn't seem any different from the 500w in my hands, didn't weigh them to compare...

The high pitched squeal is the battery full/battery low alarm. It normally keeps going after you take it off charge while the voltage goes down to an acceptable level. I just opened up the battery pack and removed the buzzer from the BMS.

a.) EXCELLENT for hill climbs, because u can u your bikes gears. You output about 200W, 500W is plenty of power to get u up the hills with gears. I can go up hills in 4-5th gear doing 30-25km/h , slowest I've climbed a hill was 15km/h and in 2nd gear, hill was steep as. b) I find that with...

I'm going to try to do this via WiFi, with a webservice that outputs XML, which I can write an iPhone app that reads the XML and displays and records the data.

Apple are being dickheads. After providing info to apple and waiting around for a month, I email them to find out what's happening, they now tell me they need my lawyer's details. WTF? To get access to the bluetooth serial port API.

Why don't you publish them on your website? Love to see more photos etc on there.

I spoke to Apple a few weeks ago, they wanted a whole pile of details to get on the made of ipod program, still haven't heard back from them yet, will follow up soon. Its crap how I can't use the API without being on the program.

Get off and push your bike = little energy as possible.

Well so far my cyclone cranks are working out fine, but like I said in my previous post, I like the look of the elation cranks and chainring and if they are supposedly better than the cyclone cranks, I'd probably buy them they are become available. To me it doesn't make sense not to sell parts...

I've got a Cyclone kit (only because when I emailed elation it was recommended that it wouldn't be good for a dual suspension setup). When I emailed Cyclone they said no problems. During my initial research, the pictures of the Cyclone kit had a spring idle wheel that looks like it keeps the...

LoL with my 24V 25AH pack and 500W motor, I rode home (27km) without pedaling at all and only used 15AH. Pedal assist = Me assisting the motor LoL

I used take off in 1st while clipping in my second foot, but I found that I had hit the top speed for first gear before my foot was clipped in. These days, I take off in 2nd gear, and the bike takes off much nicer. I guess gears aren't as important for electric motors as they are for engines...

The 3 chainwheel kit is what you want, they actually mean 3 chain ring which is the cogs the pedal connects to. The reason why you need to replace your current chainrings is their one and elations ones have a freewheel that allows the motor spin the chainrings and your pedals not to have to...
