G'day all ... regarding overdischarge I don't rely on anything more sophisticated than the the Bafang electronics. I try and keep everything as simple as practicable and while adding a wattmeter would be nice, I consider it unnecessary for my usage. In practise I recharge at the 1.5 - 2 bars...

Sure ... will take some photos next recharge. Foppel ... I am a big guy at > 110kgs. I mostly use pedal assist #2 of 3 and with the appropriate gear for terrain. After a long hill climb the motor is warm becoming hot, but well within normal operating temperature.

Gday KKid ... your extra 3 batts either side would extend the range to > 320 klms. Thats about three hundred more than my average ride! Perhaps a couple of those 10 ah bricks. Now they would fit neatly in the small outer pockets and extend the range to a useful 130klms ... hmmn

G'day Melbourne ... very close to finishing a similar build to your badboy. Just wondering what gear ratio your running to achieve the 60 kliks. I've been aspiring to a top speed circa 50k with a 48f / 11r. I have multistar 2 x 16ah's mounted in rear panniers.

Welcome to the forum ThunderDuck ... This type of post reminds me of the attempts at oneupmanship undertaken by primary school children in the playground ... just my opinion of course ... if I'm honest ... lol. On a lighter note ... I'm in Southern China at the moment and must have seen...

Gday Kepler ... You are probably already aware of the "Friction Drive" subforum over at motoredbikes.com ... I would imagine its your best source of information on wet weather friction roller slippage (and attempts to overcome) and wear. My understanding of the collective wisdom ; * Friction...
