ERT question-----
Hi all,
New to endless sphere, but I am a LONGtime fan of high-performace e-transport. Was one of the first purchasers of the Super Lithium 1500 scooter in the US. Have a Kuberg FreeRider bike, and two Evolve GT skateboards (3000w). Into motocross and mountain biking also.
Haven't done an e-bike yet but planning to. Read a TON of info on the BBSHD mid drives, the Tangent Ascent system, and read all of Eric's awesome info on the Luna Cycles site and YT page. Also very, very interested in the Enduro E-bike and the DIY community that has developed here for it.
My question now is for ERT.
1. Very interested in getting a BBSHD, pairing it with one of your controllers, and a good 72v pack (hope Luna has them again soon). Which of the 2 controllers would you recommend now - your sinewave one in the aluminum enclosure or this new Grin Phase?
2. Main diff seems to be - you said the bike makes better power at 72v using the GP, correct? Also, obviously the GP is much more compact. As one user said, would be great if it could be made in a different form factor to fit right into the motor cover.
3. I read your programming instructions for the sinewave controller, but could find no info about this for the new Grin Phase Runner. Can you connect it to a PC and adjust all the parameters, like you can with the sinewave? If yes, will you make a blog post on this? Or do all adjustments (watt limit, low volt cutoff, etc) have to be done only thru the CA?
Thanks to all contributors here, great community. High-performance e-transport is a really cool thing - everybody who first tries the Lithium 1500, which can wheelie from a standing start and do a smoky doughnut on concrete, has an ear-to-ear grin. Unexpected power/speed from electric stuff really surprises people!
I can't wait to make a super hi-powered MTB or fatbike in the near future (and maybe DIY the Enduro E bike as well).
