Today I decided to test the PAS with a ride to the Commercial Hotel in Barnard Castle.
For this test I left the PAS in full assistance(5 on the lcd).
I also used full throttle for 1 mile to help on some really steep bits and to give my unfit body a bit of a breather.
As you can see on the map the route out was longer than the return as I went the scenic route.
I got my helmet cam to work today but it was pointed 4 foot in front of the bike!!
Tomorrow I will try and get it pointed correctly.
The total trip was 9 miles and total climb was 492 feet but again I rode up and down the main road through the village until the battery cut out...
Total mileage today was 16.4 miles (26.4K).
Total running time 58 minutes
Top speed 30.8Mph (49.6Kph).
Average speed 17Mph (27.4Kph).
The PAS cuts in after half a pedal revolution which I find ok but at first I found it a bit strange that when I wanted to freewheel the motor cut out and the bike would immediately slow down(because the first section was mostly uphill).
I soon got used to it though and found that as long as the pedals were moving the motor would keep going even if no actual effort was going to the rear wheel.
I should point out here that I fitted the PAS yesterday and it took 40 seconds from start to finish!
I am so glad I got this Dillenger kit.
