Do you think that if the throttle assist is lower than pedal assist in any setting, it overrides the pedal assist setting? BTW don't forget walk assist is already built in though not great. Hold the down position on the rocker switch. Unfortunately is quite susceptible to any momentary breaks...

Nice, did you get your throttle settings after calibrating? Down here in NZ we are technically limited to 300W, no throttle, but also no speed limit. Yet kids ride around on 80kph+ 4kW escooters on footpaths, without helmets. Makes our Photons seem really quite lame (but I like mine).

Hi, welcome to the forum. I'm certain Wapous was referring to the chainring, as you suggest.

CYC make recommendations abut Spragg clutch lubricants: https://www.cycmotor-support.com/knowledge/article/271

That looks like the new 34T chainring. I posted a comment about my old 34T chainring way back when I built my bike - to summarize, the chainring I received looked as if it was prototype level quality and construction - it isn't great. There is an issue if the chain drops it can jam quite hard...

I think that is likely, most common lubricant greases are OK down to about -20°C but might still cause issues in this particular application.

I'm guessing here, but that sounds like it could be Spragg clutch related. I'm sure CYC would be very interested to know about this.

Hey, glad I made the suggestion, I'm very happy with mine, though they were so tight I had to install shims to space them slightly. Being older I find the short cranks to be far more comfortable and also help with pedal strikes. Even on my accoustic bikes I've fitted shorter cranks - 160mm on my...

Kohangapiripiri, ('a nest clinging very strongly') and Kohangatera ('a nest basking in the sun') are notable as New Zealand's last remaining relatively unspoiled wetlands. Kohanga here is interpreted as a nest, but it can also relate to kindergarten or preschool. Believe me, if I was going...

The Danseys Pass hotel is just up the road from the crib, it seems quite rustic and has a reputation for really great food. I think assist was less than 100W 75W in the low mode, maybe 250W 300W for the throttle assist with that. I have a 52-11 cassette so it will go anywhere at low power...

Recent back country ride with Photon Time to re-animate this thread for another year I think. After all, it supposed to be summer down here now. This is a seriously capable setup. I've recently upgraded the chain, pedals, brakes, tires and forks. If I were to do the brakes again I would not...

I suppose I should one day do a "how it started/how it is going" post. This is a bike I bought for not very much back in the good old days immediately before Covid; since then the frame and groupset were changed under warranty by the manufacturer, and I've changed the seatpost, brakes, fitted...

But are those bikes allowed on dedicated bike infrastructure and shared paths, or do they have to use the road?

That's the advantage of DIY and the Photon - can be set to no limit. All the ebikes imported to NZ have various speed restrictions, normally 25, 32 or 45km/h, but we (currently) have no ebike specific speed limit, only a restriction of 300W power. Speed limit is defined by where you ride, not...

You could set up the Street mode with throttle not disabled, but set to zero power and torque, and limit the pedal assist to whatever you want. Then set up Race mode with how you want to use it elsewhere. Switching between the two modes is easy, but only available during the first 15 seconds...
