So I went out on a ride today. I having trouble with something.... Not important but Ill talk about that at a later time. The push button regen is really working out great. Its a little harsh. Especially at higher speeds. Its something you dont want to do one handed on the handlebar. The X5 motor is solid in the rear drop out. The amped bikes torque arm is taking its punishment like a man. DervAtl gave me one of those black Anderson joiners. It locks into the holes for the roll pins and keeps them from coming apart when plugged in. I used to hit large bumps on curb transitions and it would knock my controller power cord loose from my battery. This clips has stopped that from happening. If it wasnt for the heavy dual inline fuse holder it probably wouldnt do that.
So I met a cyclist... not a lycra. He was very friendly and would actually speak. Here is the kicker. I pulled out infront of him speeded up to 20mph+ I was like cool I didnt cut him off. 10 seconds later hes pulling past me. This mofo was hauling ass. He was doing every bit of 28mph sustained. I was behind him so it wasnt drafting it was pure uncut raw power. It wasnt that crap that it was a sudden burst that faded. I was drafting him and the whole time he was trying to drop me. He later slows up and speaks hes like damn I know you pulled in front of me and sped off pretty fast. Then I saw it was electric and flew by. He admit he was trying to shake me but wasnt gaining any distance so he said he had to slow down and see whats going on. He sustained it for several miles. He bragged about he has never been passed on the trail but he did it in a non assholish way. Even though 28mph is a little fast he has my respect and he respects others on the trail. He does just plow and weave in and out like a agressive driver. He drafted me doing 25-30mph. I basically escorted him 6-7 miles to his car. We picked up two show boaters that couldnt hang with us that long even while drafting. We exchanged numbers and he asked if I would pace for a train of people for 20-30-40m rides in the afternoons. He asked me how fast could I go in the flats. I told him up to 40mph. He had that grin like I was his new best friend. He says his max is 32mph for short periods.
I needed that positive experience. This approves that even avid cyclist are accepting of ebikers. Buy lycras....tsk.. tsk..

Im running Lyens 12fet and its borderline for this motor because of the low winding resistance of the motor. It needs an 18fet or better. In the simulator @ 45A the values I put in are giving me 43mph/70kph in the flats which is about right. You factor in the timing advance its around 45-46 maybe But thats at nominal 66v at the end of the pack so I can safely say it should hold the 45mph/70kph ish in the flats maybe a little more for the first few miles with a fully charged pack. My previous epic failure at 66v ride gave me 53mph/85kph mph down hill which was equal to me running the GM at 96v.

Good to here it was only a connector issue.
