The pedals likely felt very natural, doesn't mean they were actually contributing to the power output. Feels pretty natural on a big hub motor too but you really aren't doing much.

I agree, but they would have to find a place for a torque sensor...

Difficult with an off the shelf Pinion, but possible with an integrated design.

Cowardlyduck said:I have a quote back and it's looking like I can do it for around $60USD plus postage per sprocket. This includes heat treatment and a black finish.
I should be able to reduce the price for anyone getting more than one sprocket.
Does that sound reasonable to others?
Cheers

It actually requires some adapter, would only be possible with the future 170mm Kindernay (that I could find), and I went through this in details in the posts below

Yeah, pretty much. It also has less tight wrap on the belt so should help them last a bit longer.hkj said:Hello CD,
I haven't followed the discussions here lately, what is the gain of swapping to a 15 tooth front sprocket?
More speed, less torque?
I don't think it's much reduction, but will report back my findings once I can test one.benjamin84 said:It will be interesting to see how the reduction in torque feels on steep trails. Are we talking a big enough reduction to cause the motor to stall out on steep starts or will it more or less always be able to get you going from a stand still without pedal assistance?
