My new top speed.

[mountainsport]

.......... Nope, you've lost me there flecc

I understand flecc , he's talking about GMT. Does that help you?

MS.

[peerjay56]

In what way?

As in Grossly Misleading Thread
Also, Flecc has failed to take into account our movement through the Universe. You're actually doing much nearer 2.7 million mph, so don't worry about how fast you go on your ebike. Mind you, it's that last 30-50mph that you add that is really gonna hurt if it goes wrong

In what way do you think I mean?

So, my top speed is 2,700,044.7 mph? I best get those brakes adjusted by a professional bike shop first thing in the morning.

 

[Willber G]

I presume you meant Greenwich Mean Time but I'm still none the wiser.
Unless you are getting latitude and longitude mixed up.

Willber G your presumption is correct, I'm aware that you are quite new to this site and you can not be blamed for not knowing that I am a bit on the crazy mad side. Sorry for the confusion.

A bit? If MS had a trolley, he would not be on it

 

[Willber G]

OK.

Double like!

i have noticed that with my heavy converted bike that the extra weight greatly increases the speed going downhill.
i recently got 37mph freewheeling down a hill that would require a fair bit of peddling to achieve 30mph on my non electric road bike.
being new to electric bikes has anyone else found this to be the case?

As said, according to the viewpoint of the observer. We can observe from within the universe, but we cannot do so from outside it!

Simple physics. The force pulling you down the hill is the component of weight down the hill minus the air resistance. You reach top speed when the two are equal. If you have a heavy bike, the equilibrium happens at a higher speed. Logical, my dear Watson.

A cannonball falls faster than a feather (on Earth; not on the Moon).

 

[D8ve]

Yes extra weight means higher terminal velocity but 30 to 37 suggests the first bike was inefficient and the second a smooth roller?

 

[stevieb]

i suppose it is obvious really that the heavier bike[like the canonball] will descend faster , it,s just that i was surprised at by how much especially as the lighter bike is a far superior one.

 

[Gubbins]

Does that mean men can go down faster than women because their brains are heavier?

how do you know? we have not been to the moon.

Not the heavy bike, he's putting on a bit of weight since he rides assisted.
