    There you go. You have an agenda. Sad to say.

    Throttle problem

    If the throttle is working fine when pushed all the way then the throttle assembly is fine. IMO feathering the throttle manually is not precise - and it is by definition very jerky. I believe there are only 2 hall sensors not he throttle so it won't be smooth at all if you do it manually. I...

    New motor: Made in Canada, 2022 Mid-drive system

    Dont cause FUD. Stromers have millions of miles on them. There is no extra care needed for the torque sensor to work. I mean Ravi @ Zen Ebikes actually rode stromer for the longest time without any issues. Using a BB (bottom bracket based) torque sensor is SOP (standard operating procedure) for...

    New motor: Made in Canada, 2022 Mid-drive system

    I will take your word for it. Exactly my point. I am not trying to be negative - but we need to highlight that PAS is make or break with this system. It is not a trivial exercise and Biktrix shouldn't hide behind that. I would like to know this as well. What is the use case this solves that...

    New motor: Made in Canada, 2022 Mid-drive system

    Let me help you based on the information above. This PAS will not be possible. They dont have it yet and it is in "development" with option to do it at a later date. In short it is not happening. here's why .....A true "torque sensor" requires the sensor to be on component that experiences the...

    New motor: Made in Canada, 2022 Mid-drive system

    The issue is that they dont have it. That is the point of this whole exercise. There is NO sensor. The peron in the video is literally clown pedaling. Cadence sensor is literally $5 off the shelf component the plugs right into SI (see BBSHD mods). There is no dev needed to make it work.

    New motor: Made in Canada, 2022 Mid-drive system

    You are re-inforcing my point. If PAS was easy to do, 2 years is a reasonably enough time. No one is developing "sensor systems" - 90% of motors out there are just integrations of existing sensors. Let's be a little real here - If you are truly developing "sensor systems" - that is a company...

    New motor: Made in Canada, 2022 Mid-drive system

    Totally agree @Gionnirocket and @rtp 1. Price point for that bike is not even close. Everyone is selling the same frame bike for thousands less (bolton / m2S / pretty much any rebadge shop etc etc). 2. The motor cannot be fit on a carbon fiber frame - at 300Nm of torque, the monte carpo will...

    New motor: Made in Canada, 2022 Mid-drive system

    I understand you are a fanboy and this is a cool motor. I spent the day doing a lot of "armchair research" and I dont want to say random negative stuff. I want to provide constructive feedback. Personally speaking I can no longer find any realistic use case for the current version of the XD...

    New motor: Made in Canada, 2022 Mid-drive system

    Most class 3 bikes can already do 28mph. Most bafang ones can do higher. So speed is not new. More a function of gear ratio. Speed is not new. I hope so too. However we all should take this with a grain of salt. Just because it’s new doesn’t mean it’s solving a real problem. Set aside all...

    New motor: Made in Canada, 2022 Mid-drive system

    This is exactly the use case I am thinking - dirtbike with throttle. However, struggling to see why someone would get this new motor instead of an actual dirt bike with a better motor (Sur Ron FWIW) . Anyhow - instead of beting down on stuff, all I will say is that this is something new, and...

    New motor: Made in Canada, 2022 Mid-drive system

    I would do a hard disagree on the commuting piece. Per Deafcat and Roshan, in the current state, this is just pure freewheeling - with little to no user feedback. As we all know, doing torque sensing is really hard and having an external torque sensor is even harder. The only ones I can think...

    New motor: Made in Canada, 2022 Mid-drive system

    Thanks @roshan. I must say that I’m even more confused now. If I’m getting this right, this is effectively a light electric motorcycle / dirt bike motor in its current form for all intents and purposes. It has some bicycle components , and it’s different in the way that it is designed...

    New motor: Made in Canada, 2022 Mid-drive system

    Just checking in after the initial hype of the video - here is what I can glean from an end user perspective. Don't get me wrong - I am sure a LOT of dev effort went into this motor but I am honestly struggling to understand this product. 1. What what you described @Deafcat, at the moment this...

    Excellent post warranty experience with Watt Wagons

    I did! You had a BUNCh of issues too looks like :) I am glad it worked. Its a small shop.. I wanted to focus on post warranty since that is a HUGE issue in the industry now a days. A lot of folks give up on older models so this was more a soft "test" for Watt Wagons and I am glad they came...

    Excellent post warranty experience with Watt Wagons

    I have a few bikes from WW so I am a bit biased. Ha ha. I also have a THIRD bike on its way (hopefully 2022 summer). I wanted to wait to make a meaningful post so this is a post warranty experience with WW. I had a broken primary control cable failure (the one that connects to the motor and...

    Rohloff Speed hubs on E-bikes (Mechanical and E-14) - Discussion

    With ebikes we are all in uncharted territories. Every component has to be rethought. Most hubs in the market are over 10 years old at a min. Hopefully we will see better, stronger designs. The trade off is weight. Of course.
