Jeremy, Sometimes you have to be a little quick. I usually open the article in question. Press stop (X) - it's also the page reload button, and then right click in the webpage and open reading mode. This works for most websites. Sometimes the paywall stuff comes up quickly and I might have to...

Caution - 8 year old humor ... If your nose runs and your feet smell - you're built upside down.

Yeah, and from the weather forecast last night the storm is now tracking into the south eastern tip of Newfoundland (Avalon peninsula and the city of St. John's) with 20"/50+cm of snow. There have been way too many 50cm dumps of snow in my region this winter. I'm going to have to look for more...

Here in the far north east we missed out on the storm entirely. It's all passing south of us and out to sea. Nova Scotia however is going to/getting snow from it. This is what winter has been like so far (limited snow and higher temps). It's the other areas in the Martimes (like poor Nova...

I've had a problem with every "gaiter" style product I've tried, they don't effectively cover the tongue area enough to be water proof under heavy rain conditions. A longer area to cover the tongue is a good start (most don't even have this) but they also have to sit firmly against the shoe and...

Or the new rear All-Axle DD motor which seems to sit (power wise) in between the two. If I was regularly commuting in traffic (so keeping up in moderate speed traffic would be important) I'd seriously consider a DD. The new rear All-Axle with the flexibility to be installed in a wider variety of...

Not paying enough attention and saw "b" instead of "d" in the online info - correcting my post above. Thanks for the background as I'm now cluing into the reason for the b, c, d designations to go with wheel diameter. The imperial vs. metric labels (and the end users who don't pay attention)...

The brake power cut out/off features are a simple safety feature but aren't always present in many DIY installations. They are a form of "belts and suspenders" approach to the risk of the motor moving your bike when you don't want or expect it to. For most folks (especially those with some...

There have been times when a heavier wrench wasn't available that I've used 2 or 3 cone wrenches wrapped tightly together to remove a 15 or 17mm nut. Most cone wrenches are made from a reasonably hard steel but can easily slip when they are less than perpendicular to the flat nut surfaces, and...

So we're talking about 750d's? What benefit does a slightly larger wheel diameter have on an ebike that's (respectfully) less than optimal gravel bike? I can see a benefit of having a slightly softer wheel (that doesn't transmit quite as much harshness to the handlebars) from the longer spokes...

More uninformed drivel ... that would be news to the 10s of thousands (Bafang, Tongsheng, etc.) mid drive based bikes with a throttle.

Stephan, I can't believe after all this time you still have these outdated and incorrect assumptions and make absolute statements that suggest one configuration is good and the other is bad. The comments above about cadence PAS and the TMM4 torque sensor apply only to the particular ebike setups...

First trike I've seen with a mid motor ... and I've recently seen quite a few sporty/cool looking trikes locally (go figure). I also like how there's no fender supports on the outside of the rear wheels. 1300 watts on board? Even just using the thumb you won't be charging up all the time...

This is exactly how I ride in the same circumstances. It really illustrates the value (and safety) of a throttle equipped bike ridden intelligently with a reasonable top speed (and in light of the original topic of this thread no I don't think limiting to just 20mph is reasonable).

30lbs might be possible ... but it will obviously depend on the starting point. Grin's new 340w bottle battery, Bafang 3xx hub motor (front or rear), BaseRunner controller a CA with MFS, PAS disc/sensor and some wiring is going to be 12-13lbs. You'll also need to get creative in the...

52v, Phaserunner, and a GMAC ... I'll bet it moves really well. I hope you keep those V brakes and pads in good condition. I like the CA mount out in front of the stem. I did much the same for my builds, only I used a minimal setup with a U shaped strip of metal and one pair of bolts on the stem.

1) I'd really dig into the CA and look for any error messages and the ramp of watts used (looking for a specific point where it reverts to 0W). I'd also put a meter on the battery connections and look for the possible voltage sag mentioned under load. 2) When you connected the throttle did you...

Yes but I think "just" 350w of battery goes a lot farther (or is a lot less of a concern) on a 36lb bike with no throttle and good gearing as compared to heavier ebikes with more motor and a throttle that aren't as rider oriented.

I've used the large (3/8" I think) padded hooks and simply installed them into exposed studs at a height that holds my ebikes against the wall with most of the weight still on the rear wheel. Ideally this works best on a bike without a rear fender but in the case of one of my bikes with...
