Nano motor ESCs now in counrty!

[Andy Day]

Hi folks, I also have a Nano powered Falcon 700c rimmed lightweight, in addition to the Powabyke I'm moaning about. The Nano has been off the road for a few weeks 'cos the ESC (Electronic Speed Controller) had fried.

Tony Castles now has had a delivery from Tongxin after problems with Chinese customs etc, has tested them and sent me one. All is back as it was, a lovely lightweight quiet responsive machine that feels like a normal bike, even when pedaling!

But given the track record of my ebike experience I'm sure it's only a matter of time before something else goes pop. It's all down to being retired, off out every day and doing 2000 miles plus a year! Now everyone is going to post telling me they do 15000 a year on a Sinclair with no problems. Bah humbug!

i think someone will say if you go off out every day and doing 2000miles plus a year, which if even 2999 miles...your trips each day average less then 9 miles a day... burncycle does that each day going in and out to his garden with his beer's

Glad it's ok now Andy, but keep us informed of how this latest controller lasts

As for mileage, mine is normally about the same as yours, but because I've been running an intensive test program, I've done almost 2500 miles in the four months since January 15th. It's not been a pleasant experience though, since it's been almost entirely without pedalling in the interests of making the testing as tough on the equipment as possible, so boring for me.

what no pedalling
