I can understand that, not for everybody. Ironically the CA3 is WAY more complicated and has all the same features plus many more yet you praise it.

I have been night riding since 2006 when led lights were just coming out. There was a 5 year period when all my rides were at night due to weird work hours. All this riding was done offroad in challenging conditions. So basically, I am not new to lights and/or night riding. I just recently...

Despite all the eggrider haters, I think it might be the one for you if you want to change the bafang parameters from IOS. Pros: Nice and compact, makes for a clean minimalistic cockpit. Lots of features (trip statistics and IOS/Android App). Main reason(trip statistics) I went with the...

Winter in the SF bay area..whats that 🤣 (I lived/biked there for 10 years). Its more like rainy season/dry season. I recall it raining every single day for two months back in the mid 90s and then not raining for 10 months. Winter/wet rides amongst the redwoods(Big Basin park) was always...

Lots of variables in this. In the old days, 19mm rims were standard and we ran wider tires. I recently ran 2.35 Johhny watts on a 20mm rim and had no issues Correct tire/rim(wider) choice is more critical if you are running tubeless and lower tire pressures. Different tire manufacturers have...

Thanks for sharing, LOVE the maneuver at 1:20

Despite all the CA3 haters, I LOVE my CA3 despite its big clunky look. It shows me anything I would ever want to see, is easy to configure on the trail (I have only ever just 'skimmed' the manual yet can figure it out during a ride), has a nice big display that works in all lighting situations...

Yeah, agree on all the points. I played with the range feature and found it less than reliable. I am getting good at determining voltage vs range but would prefer total wh used Im not sure how accurate much of the data is for 52V (the battery bar indicator is off). I bought mine from Luna...

Unfortunately, eggrider is the only solution at this time. I have two but dont like to use them as much due to the unreadable display and small/sticky buttons(the main reason). In addition to wh/km, I also like total wh used. The two allow me to adjust my ride (speed/distance) on the fly to...

If you go back and read what I was responding to with the 'cancel culture' statement, it wasnt to the person claiming their feelings were not being considered but to someone saying I should consider 'everyones feeling when stating anything' That is an impossible thing to achieve. Assuming my...

Sounds like an argument for cancel culture Every joke has a victim...thats the definition of a joke Has anyone considered my feelings in this thread. I have suffered from kanayaphobia since a child :cool:

Thanks for the pun, I had similar thoughts when I first read what you were punning about. Is EBR being taken over by puritans?

As a long time motorcyclist, I have had many similar instances. I have learned to always look for eye contact although thats not always a sure thing. I had a serious motorcycle accident (broken clavicle and femur, in a wheelchair for several months) where I recall the driver looking at me...

I would consider a hub motor considerably more complicated with torque arms and all the extra wiring (I am a fan of minimalistic wiring). It does solve the issues of applying alot of torque thru the drivetrain though. Thanks to the advice from m@Robertson, a DT swiss 350 hybrid rear hub, the...

I also do not not use a shift sensor, no need as I know how to shift. That being said, I dont shift under load and 1 second seems reasonable especially considering the fact that you most likely are changing more than 1 gear at a time as you zippety zip. Im guessing due to my lifelong cycling...

I decided to try some actual data on two identical 52V 30A bikes (except for tires and motor). Bike#1 - GMAC10T(hub drive) with phaserunner and CA3 Bike#2 - BBSHD(mid drive) with hotrod settings from Luna Throttle only test, same battery was used for this test (52V 17AH). Note that the battery...

Here is a dual Hub Motor Simulation https://ebikes.ca/tools/simulator.html?bopen=true&motor=GMAC10T&batt=B5213_GA&cont=PR&wheel=29i&mass=140&hp=0&motor_b=9C212_7.5T&batt_b=B5213_GA&cont_b=PR&wheel_b=29i&mass_b=140&hp_b=0&axis=mph&add=true&blue=Lbs Note the acceleration at 5mph Compared to the...

Well yes, I did put words in your mouth because you were speaking gibberish. Doesnt mater what actual gears we pick as long as the overall ratio is equivalent. If you pick a 28t front, with an 11 tooth rear, max speed will be 19.3mph. You said 20-25mph...I guess thats close enough but I was...

Im not sure what your argument has been, you keep on changing the goalpost. If its that you will win in a 0-10mph dragrace (compared to a single hub motor) with a one speed mid-drive which tops out at 15.2mph, congrats....zip-a-dee-doo-dah. You did actually claim you would beat a dual motor...
