Gearing

[Prefect]

Dear RobF And Nealh
Thanks for your comments
The bike was bought as a pro tem from a chat just around the corner it works fine in most respects and allows me to keep up with wifey up the hills on her Raleigh Modus GT !
I was daft and did not do enough research before buying the two Raleighs. Mine has been away a month now having the motor reset. I am currently chatting with Tony at Woosh and I plan to convert my Fast Hybrid, it’s looking very promising. Keep all my gears and bike set up etc and have help going up hills.
When that’s done I will sell the other two.
in the meantime I will fit the 16 sprocket and see how it goes!

I had no issue with Alfine 8 on a mtb and a 20t sprocket, I used 2x 48/32 combo up front and a 36v front hub at 12 s/20a and used it on off road cake stuff without much issue. The motor torque was awesome and it was no slouch accelerating and 25mph capable.

You do have particular gearing requirements, so converting a bike which has gears with which you are happy is a good solution for you.

Mind, the motor will slow you down unless Tony gives you a naughty button.

Sounds intriguing!!!

Routinely, the motor cuts out at 15.5mph so for most of your use all it will be doing is slowing you down due to its weight and slight running resistance.

There are (illegal) ways and means to restrict most ebikes, particularly the kits.

Woosh is a responsible retailer, but it may be all you need to do is google the controller/display you are getting to find the buttons to press.

On some displays, cut off speed is an obvious user settable feature when you scroll through.

I am awaiting parts at the moment, so no developements
Google and YouTube are old friends......

I suppose it all depends on how the motor is programed, if i were radiacally go to the highest gearing possible would the system still work nomally up hills then allow me to do my thing downhills?

On the highest gearing I doubt It'll be able to get up hills.

It’s just an average racking up of the gearing by changing the 21 sprocket for a 16 it’s the equivalent of loosing the the lowest 2 gears and gaining 2 higher ones. Could always dig down to Gear 1 for steep hills that’s the old Gear 3 so no worries!
