    Today was the last Bike Sunday for the season at the Bronx River Parkway. Next events will be next year on the months of May, June, and September. I completed 42 miles in 1 hour and 50 minutes.

    top speed unlocking service

    The motor winding is optimized up to 28-29 mph (48 volts), above that speed the torque and mechanical power drops precipitously. Justin happened to profile this motor in his ebike simulator. You can make some changes, like changing wheel diameter, controller setting, effort contribution...

    Thoughts on a Used 2014 iZip E3 Dash?

    That ebike has an odometer, so it's easy to tell the mileage. For less than 1 grand and with all three batteries and 2 chargers, I would say it's a fair offer. The batteries are small enough to fit in rear pannier bags. There were issues of some early batches of Dash models with motor magnets...

    Warranties

    I think it will be very good to know what ebike brands provide haggle free warranty services. I know Pedego is one. I also know that Magnum works closely with local dealers to address warranty related issues. Knowing which local bike dealers that can handle warranty services is also worthwhile...

    What health benefits have you gained and how much weight did you lose since owning an ebike?

    Heart rate monitor and cadence meter help in some way.

    Ebike Motor Power Curve Comparison Chart: BOSCH, Yamaha, Shimano, Brose

    You have a point there but I think the graph shown were actual dynamometer performance of the motors at full output. These are "mechanical power" output as contrasted to "electrical power" input that you usually see on many ebike's powermeter display. As you would see on this simulator below...

    Has anyone gone from the 48v 12.8ah to the 52v 19.2ah on the CCS?

    Chris, I would imagine no other ebikes can keep up with you, not even the Stromer ST5. Even if a Stealth bomber keeps pace with you, it will easily deplete it's battery before you run out of yours. At that speed, I would not even consider a mid drive since the drive train will just be...

    Spare battery bag

    I used a Roswheel seat pack, perfect for full suspension setup. This may not be feasible If you have a suspension seat post or if you have an extra long battery...

    Yamaha PW Drag

    With the power turned off and the ebike on a stand, do the pedals turn freely when cranked forward? Or is there any extra resistance as compared to a non-electric bike?

    How much of your overall exercise is by riding an ebike? What other exercise do you alternate?

    I added one more choice/option, which is "more than 8 hours a week". You can change your vote if you want to. I realized that there needs to be a 6-8 hour bracket and then more than 8 hours bracket.

    Hitting Decision Wall Between Bikes - Any Input Appreciated!

    I do have a Luna for 2 years and has been problem free. I placed a brake sensor so I can actively disegage the motor when shifting and then reengage only when I'm certain that the shift has completed. I also detuned it so the peak electrical input is less than 800 watts only. Detuning and...

    How much of your overall exercise is by riding an ebike? What other exercise do you alternate?

    This tells us more that ride time for ebikers are longer per week compared to people who own/ride non-electric bikes.

    How much of your overall exercise is by riding an ebike? What other exercise do you alternate?

    If the weather permits, I almost exclusively do ebike exercise only. Otherwise, I would be using my stationary exercise bike with all the fancy metrics or my stationary row machine.

    Yamaha PW Drag

    The freewheel from the motor may have been stuck. It should be covered by the manufacturer's warranty. That's what the premium price tag is for, for the manufacturer to stand behind their products and honor the warranty related services.

    Gear ratio on Bosch CX

    I searched all over the internet but could not find a 22 teeth nuvinci compatible CDX rear sprocket. It only comes with 24, 26, and 28 teeth rear sprocket. The other possible option is to leave the rear sprocket alone and change the the front sprocket from 26 teeth to 30 teeth. However, there...
