250 mile UPDATE! Still going strong! Bracket is still the same as original and does not seem to twist afterall. I videoed it and could not see any. So for now it stays this way. Once I get a reliable 1000car miles I will begin production. I figure if its still going strong after that, it will last the average weekend rider a good while. I am so impressed with the climbing ability while retaining an honest 33mph on the flat! Mind you, this is still with only a tad over 1200 watts so with more power I think 40 is easily attainable!
The MIC on this camera is ridiculous, the motor is whisper quiet, I think its because its physically taped to the frame of the bike. You can tell how sensitive it is when I just roll the bike around, hell the brakes are even loud! Lol! To give you an idea of the actual noise level, the rear derailleur is louder than the motor..
