    Winnats Pass.

    if you burn 52WH in 8 minutes, your motor runs at 52 * (60 / 8 ) = 390W The average current is about 10A. if you go up the same hill in 10 minutes instead of 8, 52 * 6 = 312W, average about 8A.

    Failed on my first big hill

    you are not wrong there. The people who oppose you on this thread already have access to a wide selection of e-bikes. Shops don't stock the hub bikes that would give your Haibike a beating.

    Woosh CD kit issues

    you hit the nail on the head. Kit prices are depressed because of ebay Chinese sellers, shipping from UK bedroom sized warehouses and because ebay allow them to be based abroad, they don't have to pay VAT and import duty. Margin on kits for UK based sellers is squeezed and often not enough to...

    Woosh CD kit issues

    it seems from your report that the battery is still in repair and woosh are waiting for parts. It may be better to ask Hatti to sell you a new battery with a full new guarantee at a reduced price.

    Woosh CD kit issues

    I find this surprising. If you have to pay for a new one, you wouldn't have to wait. Woosh can simply rob a battery from their Kriegers to sell to you or suggest you get a 13AH battery that they have in stock. It's more likely that your battery is repairable, hence the delay for parts.

    Failed on my first big hill

    a lot more than most people would want to - large hubs are powered by 18A-20A controllers, normal sized hubs by 14A-16A controllers. Each Amp is 36W of power. The difference in power when climbing hills between the two classes is about 4A, 140W. Most people can only manage about 100W of user...

    Failed on my first big hill

    Climbing a hill at below 6mph is very tedious. Constantly thinking of gears does not come naturally to most people and nobody wants to know the temperature of the motor. I always believe that choosing a motor on paper data alone is not good, otherwise, everyone would buy a CD bike. However, data...

    More GSM advice please.

    the left allen crank bolt tends to get loosened and causes an audible click when the left crank is at 9 o'clock because of the torsion through the BB. If it's the case, instead of tightening it further, replacing the allen crank bolts with M8 crank bolts will sort it...

    Failed on my first big hill

    that review is 2 1/2 year old. The motors that did not do well were pushed outside their comfort zone. CD motors are more powerful now. If the same race is repeated with the Brose CD motor against the Panasonic, the outcome may be reversed.

    Failed on my first big hill

    to be fair to Flud, retailers don't normally stock bikes with powerful (180mm diameter or the XD) geared hubs, so he can't just pop in and try one. This is the motor on the OP's Wisper 905: and this is the motor on the Ezee: spot the difference.

    New £999 Wisper SE bikes are now in the shops

    HL batteries are less stealthy though. It would be interesting to know what you can get for £999.

    the number of FETs is not important. for 20A, a 9-FET controller has larger casing, puts less current through each FET, is more robust than a 6-FET unit.

    Failed on my first big hill

    hub drives are cheaper to buy and cheaper to replace. Hill climbing ability depends essentially on how much power the controller will draw from your battery. Most people would be happy with a 6-FET 15A controller but if you have big hills, select a bike with a 9-FET 20A controller. For in...
