Next question should put this on technically page but the bb torque sensor has a thin wire running to the controller housed in the battery bracket the thicker power cable runs from controller to the hub motor signals are sent to the controller from the battery on/off min/max Now then Gtech...

Yes it’s a strange feeling through the pedals like the motor seizing up momentarily then releasing It’s only happened twice for me like I say on a slope 8 or 9 mph in eco probably in too high a gear pushing hard on the pedals The escent assist stops when you stop peddling (no brake cutoff) this...

On the escent Bafang torque sensor bb links to controller in battery housing the power cable controller to Bafang rear motor The mode is set by the switch on the battery on/off min/max speed of min approximately 8mph and max approximately 15 mph

i use my bike 2 times a week for exercise and enjoyment for approx. 1 hour most of the time this is around 9-10-11 miles on road off road pavements etc was out today 10 miles 58% battery left 47mins at average speed of 12.7 mph all in eco apart from one climb where the problem you mention...

hi i own a gtech escent and yes i have observed this happening but only on a long incline and yes at about 8-9 mph this seems to happen when in eco mode which is assist to 8mph so does this inbetween assist and leg power and can feel like a brake being applied have had many rides now and very...

thanks m8 great bikes only let down by the battery range (about 14-15 miles heavy bloke strong headwind) but all estimated ranges can be halved in real world usage thats every ebike out there truth

thanks once again m8 for your reply need more ride time (weather please) but take on board your suggestion ask the son in law to have a look at doing the adjustments hes the mechanic intend to post on the effects of the changes once done cheers

hi sorry about the delay in replying heres some pics hope they help cheers am beginning to think might only need a 42t or 44t on the front as the top speed i think i need to achieve is above the pedelecs assistance (longer battery range) but not hair raising speed i know i need a hell of a lot...

Hi m8 away till Saturday but will take the pics you need and maybe you can help with advice thanks dude will post back then thanks

Thanks speed freak I think I’ll look to attempting changing especially as won’t have any other issues thanks for that m8

Hi m8 cheers for the info is it just a case of buying a 46t cog as long as the bolts fit and changing it over and will the chain be okay thanks

book says gears are 10 speed 11-36 teeth cassette ? is it just a case of fitting a larger chainring probably upset mtb owners but as its geared 1st 2nd and 3rd gears seem to almost redundant literally fly round when hardly moving at all but can see they might be needed on severe slopes etc

thankyou for a great reply front cog is 36t not sure of back one been out today on road and old track think i understand the principle of larger front cog greater speed never been on a bike for so long top speed in 10th gear seemed to slow to reach limit but on the dirt track keeping the...

Thanks peeps hope it’s something I’m doing wrong will have a ride about tomorrow with battery off see what speed I can achieve through gearing then on battery see if problem returns thanks

Hi the bike is a Gtech escent so I was in 8th and should have felt resistance at that speed sorry don’t know size of front cog

Thanks m8 and hi yes I understand that at about this speed the motor stopped assistance but but I thought you could pedal on your legs like a normal bike are the small cogs 10th gear and the largest 1st gear or is the other way round sorry never even road a bike with gears sshheesshh talk about...

erm right brand new to all this but here goes out riding round the estate pas working great can really feel the motor assisting making the peddling a breeze but then out on the road straight onto an incline bike in 6th gear (10 in total) motor pulling great crested the hill dropped into 8th gear...

Hi quick introduction never been on a push bike for 30 odd years but now the proud owner of a second hand Gtech escent quick test ride then a short run out and the face is beaming hopefully many smiling miles ahead

Hi quick question please when peddling motor kicks in and assists up to speed (guessing this is 15.5 mph ) at this point peddles loose any resistance is this the norm ? I then turn battery off and can pedal as a normal bike
