    First ride with the Archon X1 upgrade!

    I'm confused now, I thought you needed a 52 volt battery for the 2300 watt version? I may be mistaken tho. But I guess that yeah it would read a lower % with the lower voltage batt. You may want to ask Pushkar what the low voltage cut off point is on the 2300 watt board it may be higher than...

    First ride with the Archon X1 upgrade!

    On the 1000 watt version I rarely go above pas level 3 even on road, and off road pas 2 works brilliant especially for the techy climbs it just feels right and very predictable, My pas lvl 1 kinda feels like riding a normal weight bike, if my fitness and strength levels were at Olympian...

    First ride with the Archon X1 upgrade!

    You do not need to touch the Bolts. And you will not budge them no matter how hard you turn them in either direction :) they are designed to act as mounting posts rather than bolts, As Kurt has advised you need to take the plastic cover off I think it has 3 phillips head screw's (that covers the...

    Would you like to upgrade your impulse powered Kalkhoff with a better/stronger motor?

    I would not bother replacing the Impulse 1 for the Impulse 2 even if it does fit. It is a horribly unreliable motor. I did get a new motor for my Impulse 2 bike and it broke, but now I have 2 so I can hot swap them when they inevitably go wrong I do not know the issues you were having, but mine...

    First ride with the Archon X1 upgrade!

    I know exactly what you mean, I use pas lvl 2 mostly now. And I have been risking longer distances I would never have managed on the old set up and power levels I used before. Nice to see the feedback on the motor from other people, even tho it seemed like a night and day difference to me it is...

    Are you happy with your ebike’s noise levels? E-motor, tires, shifting, etc.

    And very much this I love a loud rear hub for this very reason it is a automatic bell, If you ride with a bit of sense and slow down before passing them eg stop pedeling. They soon know you are there with a Hope hub installed. I also turn down my power to pass people certainly on the ultra bike

    Are you happy with your ebike’s noise levels? E-motor, tires, shifting, etc.

    Depends what it sounds like. should it sound like that? the main problem is if it is a new noise! I have used Hope Hubs on load's of bikes and they emmit a lot of sound, but it sounds right! you even get some people stripping greece from other types of freehub to get a similar noise. But as a...

    Bafang Ultra Max Mid-Drive Options?

    Elaguila I managed to find some geo documentation for the seroxat, I thought I would share it here for you. I have not weighed my bike yet but my new wheels have shaved a huge amount off it You say you already have a Ultra powered bike, If you want to love that motor more than you already do...

    Known Issues & Problems with Kalkhoff Products + Help, Solutions & Fixes

    Yep I have had 5-6 new ones and have rebuilt 2 of them a few times in 15000 miles my bike has done. They all seem to get this problem anywhere between 100 miles to 2500 miles sometimes they will stop doing it for a while and start again. But stripping them down and swapping out the bearings does...

    First round of motors with Archon controller going out this week!

    I do not really see the problem with using a different display to program and the DPC 18 for riding tbh. My personal preferance would just be a usb lead to connect a laptop for programming etc. I like the DPC 18 and I guess the only function that may be effected on the 2300watt version is the...

    Tires - size does matter?

    My last tyres were magic mary's, I never got a single puncture with them, and that is just using standard tubes. If you go for the downhill casing version I doubt you will need armours. And they are brilliant tyres in general, I'm running Minions ATM and I am still trying to work out which tyre...

    Archon X1 upgrade officially available for Bafang Ultra !

    Yeah the thumb throttle is a bit naff on mine both with the original and upgrade, but that does not bother me to much as my original idea was to not run a throttle anyway. I ended up keeping it on because It has come in useful on occasion like getting through water without risk of getting my...

    this $1500 electric bike ships right to your door

    The frame looks quite nice on the xc but the componants are not what should come on a $2300 bike in my opinion, for that price I would like to see better groupset like SLX maybe and a fork upgrade. And I would be a bit afraid to use folding pedals and stem off road. Makes more sense on a...

    Full suspension with Belt drive - why ?

    Mine was a slightly different colour scheme, and I had more American Flags slapped over it which would be nice and patriotic if I did not live in the UK :) But to be honest I would not want to ride something covered in the Union Jack either :) I meant It was garish and hard not to see, more...

    Full suspension with Belt drive - why ?

    One of the best bikes I ever owned was a soft tail, at the end of the last millenium I owned a Carbon Scott Endorphin and it was a real do it all bike the whole rear end was made to flex a few inches. IT was a nice to ride as it was ugly to look at. :)

    this $1500 electric bike ships right to your door

    Is that a folding stem? or does it just need to be twisted into position, and tightened with a few allen bolts? because that might be how it came in the box, straight to your door. :) But joking aside it looks like a $1500 ebike to me. Guess you need reviews to say if it is worth more. Lots of...

    Never too much torque

    Yes you could but I think going for a bike ride is a better idea :) I concidered working it out but the estimates I did in my head will do,

    Never too much torque

    Maybe, I'm all maths out and i'm not doing more because my head will start hurting:) but I am pretty sure the torque and rpm on a motorbike is recorded before going through the gear box. so at the belts drive pulley it will already be at a lower rev's and higher torque. Not sure what average...

    Never too much torque

    yes rpm is the biggest variable, edit, when comparing a ebike to a motorbike.

    Never too much torque

    Exactly high torque without many revolutions/cadence per minute gives low power output. You need to convert Newton Meter's into Pound Feet. 1 nm = 0.74 ft lbs Then it is a simple equation HP = torque x rpm divided by 5252 for example with rough numbers. A motor bike engine may only have 60nm...
