That is where it shined.. Plenty enough range and speed for climbing all morning then light enough to forget it's electric coming back...
The smoothness and quick engagement of the torque sensing was pretty superb also.

Re: Craigslist Yescom - Did I score or get screwed?
Fyi, careful testing... Some of the combos result in backwards rotation, which makes the pedals spin backwards too, in a way that ones brain might not be ready for after being used to things freewheeling. Pays to keeps some clearance... Plus I had one that spun up backwards, the jolt knocked my repa...

Re: PNW "EVADER" EV10000 ev-1000 bike is missing part / history
Do you mean a missing component those should be plugged into? They look like the plugs for a low power controller, but there's so many different generic versions of what you have that's it's guesswork about your specific one, esp without more pictures.

But aside from the prettiness, it still shipped with the plastic of the gear shift housing so shrunk back from wire layer that the shifting was impossible to index because of the mushy end, which of course is terrible on crank drive.

Re: Balance charging 2 x 7s Lipo
Fyi, I'm using two 7s packs also, series-ed. I usually just bulk charge with a 14s charger, and manually balance them thru the balance plug using an rc charger set for 1s. I got the packs free from a Solowheel place, and still have the 7s BMSs from them, but they've stayed so in balance so it hasn't...

Re: Random buddy bike... Check out the prismatic paint!
I've seen other bikes with prismatic paint (and cars, and a building in LA, and whatnot) and it was hard to capture in stills, but the illusion of depth it had as it shifted, on the curvy contours of the carbon was really eye-catching.

Usually when a buddy says "hey could you assemble a bike for me?" and doesn't even know what kind it is, that's a bad sign. This one turned out to be a 2020 Specialized S Works full carbon beauty with trippy purple/green paint that changes as you move you head.... In the pictures, what loo...

Re: 2000W 48-72V DC brushless controller wiring help
The gray wires with the matching black plugs are the self study... You temporarily plug them together for that function. Whatever the 2 rounds wire is, it's just the single orange one. 49342819247_ac6972b8c1_b.jpg It sounds more like a description of the plugs themselves, and the gauges of wire they...

Re: Motorino xpb 2019 60v 20amp lithium, Speed limiter
I don't know the motorino specifically, but it's usually a rectanglar metal box with a bunch of wires coming out of it. The main battery wires and power wires from the motor both lead to it. If it does have a limiter wire, it's usually a pretty thin single wire with a little black plug, plugged into...

Re: Do DD hub motors wear out?
It could be the battery management board in the new battery is set to limit the amps to protect the cells in the battery, so you're getting the higher speed from the voltage, but slow takeoff from lower amps. Fyi, speaking very generally, if you have a 36v and a 48v battery that are say 500 watt hou...

Re: Motorino xpb 2019 60v 20amp lithium, Speed limiter
It varies a lot. Some it's as simple as disconnecting the limiter wire on the controller, if it has one, or going into the menus on the display More and more, it's getting hard to defeat as regulations have gotten stricter, so now sometimes you need a laptop and a programming cable to the controller...

Re: downsides to a higher voltage
It probably is close to a wash. Ultra high efficiency is great and all, but most basic controller and motors are pretty efficient to start with these days. It also seems like with how much power is packed into a modern battery, efficiency for range extension isn't as big a factor any more. 52v has b...

Re: downsides to a higher voltage
Going up into the hundreds of volts, there start to be some downsides, like dying etc. The risk of an ebike killing you starts much lower than that - at about 60 volts. I was somewhat kidding with the hundreds number, and if it happened just right, yes, you're correct that 60v could get you, but it...

Re: downsides to a higher voltage
I would say the voltage is more about maximizing the efficiency of the components in the controller. I'm no expert, but have read there's efficiency plateaus with the fets and capacitors, but there's so many considerations, including things like trading off a little efficiency during use to get redu...
