    Difference between 250w and 350w motor

    Ah, thanks for explaining, I had for some reason thought the max phase current set to 2*max battery current was appropriate I have an xfO8c (in a 700c wheel), a Bafang g020 otherwise known as h405 ? (In a 26" wheel) and an 1.6 kg akm74 in a 20 inch wheel (which seems to have nearly identical...

    Difference between 250w and 350w motor

    That's the 2.5kg G310 rather than the 1.6kg G370. But let's compare the G310 with the much heavier G60 fatbike motor https://ebikes.ca/tools/simulator.html?grade=010&motor=MG60_500&motor_b=MG310_STD_O&grade_b=10&bopen=true

    Difference between 250w and 350w motor

    The BPM (despite having a 5kph higher no load maximum speed) also has a slightly higher hill speed ( and output power and efficiency) than the much newer , very lightweight G370. Eta - you can see it more clearly on the heavier G60 fatbike motor vs lightweight G370

    Wisper Wisper bike owners - how are your wheels & spokes looking?

    My wife's 2019 705 has no signs of corrosion on wheels (kept in shed)

    Difference between 250w and 350w motor

    Here - the xf07 has a no load max speed of 30km/h and the BPM a no load max speed of 39 km/h. However up a 10% hill the xf07 only generates 323w and reaches 13.8 kph compared to the BPM that generated 391w and reaches 15.8 kph for the same input voltage / current from the controller. The BPM...

    Difference between 250w and 350w motor

    That's interesting - were they both at 36v ? and presumably the XF15 has a higher no load max speed ? XF15 kits with 15A 36V/48V KT controllers and displays are available at PSWpower - seem very reasonable £7.09 shipping

    Tandam CoPilot 26-3

    Looks a constant 10% hill - they are not usually that consistent especially in cities There is a monster disused wagon/rail track near me with that sort of constant gradient but have only been up it on my Bafang BBS conversion

    Prices of the electricity we use to charge

    I agree that he is unappealing to undecided voters, but I think this appeals to his base so he will have a very high turnout amongst his base. It just depends on the turnout of the undecided / Harris voters in the swing states. I have a nasty feeling that he will win (although Harris will have...

    Difference between 250w and 350w motor

    Very interesting, thanks. Isn't this very much speed dependent? I thought the smaller motors were very inefficient at low speeds under high loads, but the larger motors are better at coping with it. What sort of speeds were you getting on your test hills with the xf07 vs xf15 for the same...

    Help! Is an Electric Bike Suitable for Long Mountain Rides?

    I have experienced that with by BBS02, gingerly negotiating a narrow ridge and the cadence sensor kicks the motor in and unleashes a huge amount of power. Fortunately I just traversed that ridge a lot quicker than I was expecting and I turn the pas level right down (or even off) before I...

    Help! Is an Electric Bike Suitable for Long Mountain Rides?

    Yes, depends a bit on the terrain and the steepness of the hills , the total height climbed, your weight and the size of the battery and how much assist you use and what speed A lot of the commercial mountain bikes seem to have 400wh or 500wh batteries which might not be enough, depending on...
