I recently found out the Strohmer bikes are not capped by the 28mph speed limit because they are made in Switzerland. Any other Euro makes have this advantage? Many thanks for all input!

Super interesting feedback on this.. I was wondering something. As a comparison, how would you rate the smoothness of PAS on the Archon X-1 versus a Specialized Como?

Cool, thanks Dewey!

I'm mulling over different combinations of builds I could do in my head these last few weeks. I could not find this specifically. Does anyone know if the controller on a standard bike comes equipped with the ability to take current generated by a motor and find a way to recycle or dump the...

Had a new experience last night renting a bike if this helps others. So, the only IGH that are known to be able to handle the torque of the G510 are Rohloff and Kindernay.. and Enviolo (but the spec sheet won't tell you that). Other hubs have failed in various tests. However, given the...

I'm still putting feelers out and figuring out what to do, but yeah, I may do that.. Throttle option is king. That and the power output are the reasons I started looking at Bafang and CYC motors. Otherwise, I'd have a lot more to look at..

The passion for this stuff stirs up real feelings! Better that than the boring fakeness of most of business I guess. Man, I just got back from tearing it up on my little e-scooter. So fucking sweet, empty streets and the stars were out. I used to be a hardcore cyclist and put disrespect on any...

Damn.. huge jump from a 5kW DIY motor to an electric Harley! I'd classify those as very different things, no? Seems like these motors fall in between EBR and EMR..

Oh, great. My bad. Thank you! Can you suggest a biking forum where these types of motors are discussed?

Well ain't this interesting! It's a small world. CYC manufactures the Cyclone, which is a much cheaper version of the X1. I learn a lot just by following information trails.. 300Nm at the crank and over 5kW continuous? Why is no one talking about this? Efficiency: Our motor is now proven to be...

I found these motors here as well, I think it was through the ERT site.. https://www.cycmotor.com/ Torque is very high (up to 190Nm). I've not heard too many discussions or comparisons about this with the G510. Seems like there should be. Same peak watts as Cyclone too..

Good question. I know it's overpowered for what you want. There's probably a more finessed solution here. I'm just learning myself, so not an expert. However, I wanted to forward a great solution I came upon that others helped me find. Yes, the X-1 controller is very efficient and Pushkar is...

Curious why? What was your experience?

It seems like Watt Wagon's Archon X-1 upgrade to the Bafang gives as natural and efficient a power application as possible. Strapping that motor on a carbon frame with a 21 Ah battery might get you 100 miles with PAS-1. I'm reading accounts of people besting 65+ miles on PAS-2 with heavy rigs. I...

Haha.. this is the s*it..

You can clearly hear the greater diameter of coils on the ultra. Struggles a lot less..

Very interesting, Ebiker. Sounds like we're witnessing the formation of a whole new era. Your posts have been very helpful also.. thanks for creating this thread! I was about to reach out to Exess today, but ran out of time at work. Super nice machine, Smorgas, thanks for posting. I just took...

Being a person who has respect for what kind of astronomical work goes into a superior product doesn't make that person a snob. Just like anyone who has a preference for something or appreciation. Snobbery is attaching your identity to such thing, or lifestyle, and judging others as lesser...

You know, I actually do agree with many of your points, Stefan. I hate Chinese crap (which is less crappy now, but only because of American and European consultants visiting factories to bring them up to spec). I hate supporting China. However, the laws in the EU are what kill my desire for...

Haha.. I will concede. I was technically wrong with my terminology apparently. I consider what I'm looking for to be an e-MTB, but not for the primary purposes of the sport.. Ahaha.. you've got to be kidding me! After all that, he's walking distance from my shop. What a small world it is..
