Hello all,
I'll get to the point. I have 2 e-bikes (both Cycle Analyst 3). One has a new front wheel motor (recumbent bacchetta) and the other is an older hard tail MTB with a rear motor (maybe 3+ years). Both are direct drive. I noticed that the older motor set to limit to 300 watts, I get 20 miles per watt and with the newer motor, with the same specs, I get 11 miles per watt. So the older one sags with that amount of wattage while the newer motor is pretty good. Average speed is 20 mph but older one is around 13 mph. Is this because the motor is old? Does it need to be replaced? There is no brake rub going on. Thanks for the advice!
