Trump just tweerted that not only will the take over of Greenland be retribution for not receiving the Nobel... but it will also serve as a penal colony for ebike law violators. Enforcement will be carried out by ICE with the directive to deport first and ask questions later. The transports are...

On that subject I have my start rotation set at 1/4 crank. This gives me the option of starting with the pedal at 3- 5 o'clock and not getting assistance but just get rolling or starting at 1 - 3 o'clock and getting assistance on the initial push without having to adjust PAS. The delay is...

So back to the OP... We've learned that a class 2 is the most practical/safe way to avoid pedal strikes while climbing rough terrain at a reasonable fun pace 🙃 Short throttle bursts rule

Since there is no manual clutch... You're reaching. And I really can't see you riding one of your minimally powered, upright aunt Gertrude machines in that manner. 🙃

On a Bafang the overrun time is programmable. I keep it to a minimum but not 0 as it aides in general smoothness when pedal pressure varies or during brief pauses. It's much more desirable, accurate and safe to millisecond throttle to avoid pedal strikes.

I slow and quick recover all the time without issue. One of the benefits of 1000w at your disposal. And you can't slow and accelerate simultaneously no matter what. As with any setup you learn different ways to get what you want/need when you want/need. Brake cut out are not a necessity, but I...

I know a lot of MTB riders disable the brake cut out as it can interfere with aggressive technical riding. All Bafang mid drives and hub motors have this feature as well as most diy kits and hub drives. Can you get by without one... Well you're proof it's not an absolute necessity. Me on the...

Curious... Are you considering the Pinion MGU version? That said I'm loving the Rohloff on my bike.

Best part... The wheelie batteries are wireless!

And have 2 wheels as well.... I stand corrected.

Can't wait to hear about how all the millisecond adjustments will be made through the display and how it'll be better than any other bike available anywhere. We'll all take special attention to look for the disappearing wires and magic cable ties as well. Absolutely nothing to do with the OP...

You mean you saw them on a ride tomorrow 🙃

I thought it was Sinéad O'Connor 🙃

The weight is mostly an issue when you need to manhandle the bike but like everything, you teach yourself best methods and it's manageable. I ride my ebike as it is named and don't care/need for it to emulate a bicycle as closely as possible. That said in lower PAS the power delivery is very...

The bike is HEAVY @75 pounds... with a high torque motor and large 21Ah battery being 1/3 of that weight. Then there's the Rohloff. That said it's not as bad as it sounds. It can easily be riden without the motor and I have it tuned efficiently and can achieve 8wh/mi on my daily 25mi ride on...
