I wanted to like a nexus inter 8 but it doesn't have enough gear range for where I live. A Rohloff does but that is a completely different budget. With the nexus you can either gear it for climbing hills or gear it for running on the flat but it doesn't do both at the same time... For those who...

I wait until the speed drops below 23-22 kph before I start pedaling again. If the PAS detects pedal movement before 25 kph it acts as you describe. The problem is with the controller, the easy way to fix it is to remove the speed limit...

I am not jealous, I hate the cold! Welcome to the forum!

And you will need to gear down for 30%. I use a 32 tooth on gradients which approach 20% in places. If you decide to get a lekkie 42 tooth which is very popular you might want to consider an 11-46 or 11-50 wide range cassette.

In those conditions I would be doing just around the cut off speed so probably using about 1/3 the average Wh I get on hilly terrain (7.5 Wh/km) So yes, your range estimation is correct in those conditions. Try an alpine pass and you you would probably get a quarter of that range...

On my hub motor the power cuts off at that speed too even if I set the cutoff speed to 72 km/h in the settings. Its winding doesn't let it go any faster. If I increase the voltage a bit it will go faster. Many Bafang (and other) motors are wound for a top speed of between 27 and 33 km/h*, if you...

Are you using the original 46 tooth chainwheel with the motor? That would explain your spinning the pedals fast at 32 kph with 20" wheels. You might want to find a 48 or 50 tooth chainwheel. 32 kph is my unpowered average speed on the trike, I only put the motor in because of the near death...

Maybe the real issue is that your battery is no longer capable of providing enough volts for those extra 3.2 km/h?

It is a Mariner but I can't see any difference with the Vitesse frame on the Dahon site. I am researching a new home for my GSM and it will probably go in a Tern and the frames on those are almost a carbon copy of the Dahon ones. Back before they started using Bosch motors Dahon had a Bafang...

You usually change the settings by a series of button presses but a manufacturer can load their specific settings using a cable connected from another controller. Or most likely a serial cable and a PC in the factory.

I think I would be scared at 15... Would be interesting to test with a diff though. Do you still lift the wheel when you turn?

135€ fine if you are caught riding one on the footpath in France since September 1st. Of course we have so many policemen on duty your risk of getting nicked would be about 1/10,000 km...

I think potting it in silicone paste might do the trick as well as the usual shrink coating. IIRC from chemistry (or was that physics?) in high school, welding copper and nickel together will cause galvanic corrosion at the spot welds too.

There are no external controller motors on the market anymore which is a shame. I run the GSM at 660 Watt peak - 735 W hot off the charger and that motor is good for 45 kph on flat terrain. You do have to be in the correct gear but the motor will pump 500 Watts through the drive train all the...

Is there a 3D printer in your life? You can print a box in PETG which has the same mechanical properties as ABS (or near so) and is easier to print than nylon or ABS which a lot of commercial cases are injection molded from. For fast on and off a few nylon webbing belts and cam buckles would...

The problem with 0.15 mm nickel strip is current carrying capacity. https://endless-sphere.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=68005 1P10S you will want to use cells with real 15 Amp constant discharge so you would be better using copper strips (0.15mm or 0.2mm x 5 mm). You could get away with using...

I think your 34 tooth may be bolted directly to the alloy crank arms am I correct? That won't work with the PAS you show. You need something to cable tie the disk to if you want it behind the chainrings, in fact it will stick to the 26 tooth with the magnets the cable ties are just to stop it...

The kick marks on my bike are all on the seat tube, not the down tube. You should be fine but you could chuck a couple of wheels on, mount the battery and test.

My optician asked why I didn't want my prescription sunglasses polarized. Now you know too! :cool:
