My Michelin on the motor wheel went like that after 3600 km and 12 months. How many km on that one? That tyre is one of their cheaper ones which is why is often mounted OEM.

You will go faster by adding Volts not Amps. Or rather you need a bit of both. The SWX02 gears melt at about 1.5kW BTW...

I did experiment with full power only for a while and it was unmanageable in town. I am strong enough to ride past the cut off so it didn't affect battery range as much as I expected, about 65 km instead of 70 km for a full charge so about 7% loss. At 36v with a 15A controller I run most...

Or put the LCD in the controller bag. How are you going to change assist levels?

And the discharge rate setting of the BMS. If you stay at 15 Amps you should be able to draw that much continuous with no problems: http://lygte-info.dk/review/batteries2012/LG%2018650%20MJ1%203500mAh%20%28Green%29%20UK.html Each cell of the 3P group only needs to provide 5A at 15A discharge...

If I was wealthy enough my dream trike would be an AZUB Ti-FLY 26 with the pinion 18 speed and a Q100H in the back wheel. Great gear range, full suspension and 250 W help on the hills. Only about 7900€ with the options... :)

You are correct, for some it is "until the next round of golf"... :rolleyes:

If your battery gets to LVC your lights will still work even though there isn't enough juice for the motor. Most DC e-bike lights work from 7v to 42v and the high end up to 60v. The dynamo on the German e-bikes is from the olden times when wired DC lights didn't even exist on the market StVZO...

Regen works in the Alps (and maybe the Pyrenees...). e-bike batteries don't charge like F1 batteries, they want 2A and 42v, F1 batteries want god knows what. Speed isn't comparable. List goes on...

There are a couple of very good threads on ES about wiring in brake lights etc and they use a buck converter. I am keen to wire in a brake light to the HWbrake sensor I will put on the trike because down hill I like to use more of the road and am doing about the same speed as the cars following...

Maybe the same motor is used in those one wheel scooter things?

German law recently changed so wired lights are legal there too now.

I use the 42v b+m wired front light, it feeds 6v to the rear light. I use their battery lights too.

??? I still don't understand your alternative reading of these texts... Or misunderstanding. Or wishful thinking. I will know in about 10 days if it is going to be happy or ho-hum.

Just noticed this https://bmsbattery.com/home/857-all-in-one-hub.html Doesn't float my boat but some of you might like it.

With a tiny bit of luck it will be my last outing on Number Two with the GSM before migrating it to the trike. Fingers crossed!

I just read about this ride that all the local roadies do as training (2510 ft climbing Eddie :p), 48 km so I think I might take 20 Ah of battery with me... The section I havent done is between Sare and Bera, the final bit of that climb is 7% and straight up, no corners :eek: The weather looks...

Like reading some populist UK "news" paper's conspiracy theory take on a readjustment provoked by the UK leaving?

I take them off the bike at every charge, they are either 20Ah 2x4S 10 Ah parallel + 2x6S 10 Ah parallel in an "aluminum" briefcase or as a 10 Ah small battery in a plastic Skip washing powder box. I had an incident where I wasn't careful and pulled the JST balance plug off removing from the...
