A year later.... how'd it go?

I have not gone torque sensing yet. For the remainder of cold (bar mitten) weather, I’ve gone throttle only. Easier to modulate on snow and ice, and the bar mitten kept pushing into my aux button and raising the level. I wish there was a way to use the CA3 buttons to adjust assist, quickly. I...

Those structural deficiencies may not exist in the rotovelo, and should be readily addressable if they do exist. The chain problem should be solvable as well. Go to a bigger low gear cassette, and use a stronger (less speeds) chain and cassette. 8 speed might be a sweet spot. Any chain strength...

Your requirement of reverse gear means that you have to use a direct drive hub motor. Using a MXUS 3005 with statorade and a big battery pack as a starting point, adds some 13kg to your vehicle weight, now at 425 lbm. That is too much for 20% grade, without gear reduction...

Solved with help from Robbie at Grin. For thread completeness, here is what he had me do in the phaserunner setup: "Increase Current Regulator Bandwidth to 3000 Rad and the PLL Bandwidth to 3.0" That was 3x over what it defaulted to. Works very nicely now. I also increased the ramp up time to...

I just finished building my 2nd ebike last night. The setup is an EZEE rear gear hub motor, the 350RC model from Grin. The motor is powered by the Phaserunner. My battery is a 14S4P from EM3EV. The bike is a longtail, and Xtracycle Edgerunner swoop. The problem I am having is that the motor...

I look forward to seeing how your build goes. I've collected all the bits and pieces for converting my edgerunner swoop. Going with EZEE rear motor from ebikes.ca along with PAS, phaserunner, CA3. Battery from EM3EV. Conversion starts... soonish. My bike friday tandem build has been with a...
