Well you move the goal posts so there's no point continuing the discussion.
You have repeatedly stated that it is trivial, full stop. You have not stated it as a condition to your argument:fatty said:I'm not so sure about this. So far, I've been careful to limit my explanations to upright performance bicycles on surfaces where achieving 100% rearward weight transfer is trivial (140A into a DD45 Std).
fatty said:No, power-to-weight doesn't negate the argument, because you're ignoring weight transfer.
If your front wheel sets right back down, then you're not accelerating at the greatest possible rate, and you can use higher volts in the rear to keep accelerating at the limit of control.
fatty said:it is trivial to achieve 100% rearward weight transfer (and thus wheelie) an e-bike
And included other vehicle types:fatty said:In any case, weight transfer is not a "possibility" -- it's physics.
So I'm done here.fatty said:The solution, again resolved definitively over the past 100 years, is simply to tire the RWD bike for the conditions: from sand paddles to studded ice tires -- both of which can achieve 100% rearward weight transfer.
