Well, this may have taken a turn for the worse… VESC Tool is GNU GPL3 licensed open source, which could certainly put Krasnodar and/or Innotrace in some legal hot water, as creating a derivative non-open-source work is completely disallowed under the GPL, while they are required to make source...

Not entirely. Would you be annoyed if you brought your phone in for $75 for each update? Some things aren't really suitable in a modern world with available technology etc.

The original thread wasn't solely about power, but in behavior and tunability. OEM programming for Ultras for both UART and CAN variants are pretty awful, as they also were (possibly still are on the M600). I didn't go with the VESC-based LudiV2 controller on my X2 for 'more power' but to...

Having worked as a mechanic forever ago, and ~100 cars later with very very few 'send it to the shop' moments, I can both relate to both sides (although moreso on the employee side), as well as say - sure, and the record industry really didn't want digital music, etc. Time to get realistic...

Have to love these - I have soooo low confidence on their accuracy (including mine, Park TM-1, not inexpensive), but at least the ZTTO is cheaper, and they're good for checking consistency. Would sure love it if someone offered one whose calibration could be trusted for ~$100 or less, but...

Eh, except this general pattern has been mostly worked through for ages in other devices. Don't over-write the existing firmware, have a separate partition, the user transfers the update from phone/tablet/computer over BT or a cable. System powers up, confirms valid and complete download...

Oops, apologies, you're right. There is a LudiV2 for BBHSD and for M600 but not Ultra currently.

Good info on the Ultra - glad someone is getting around to writing (correcting) a bunch of this! RE: Luna controller, the v1 was as stated, but the Ludi v2 controller is quite a different beast with real programmability, mobile app, etc. and is VESC-based...

Nice! Glad someone cracked it at least to this point. Well done, and undoubtedly there will be many using it even if they don't see this thread. Well done!

I’m aware we could nitpick and have fun on this one endlessly. You’re right on the flat surfaces, am just now having my morning coffee, sooo very sorry.. ;) More inertia once moving as stated, so indeed on a flat with all else being equal, the heavier bike will maintain momentum longe…...

Actually, that’s something I’d be perfectly fine with and wouldn’t mind seeing - user-settable max speed settings. Some of the ‘configurable’ bikes/motor systems have the ability to set max current/power, I think a couple have the ability to set a max speed (by the user, not hard-coded/set by...

Heavier vehicles on the flat or going uphill, or where significant drag is involved (e.g. gravel) will indeed slow down more rapidly once power is removed vs lighter bikes. Same applies to wider tires in many cases etc. Downhill and under equivalent braking power (on a flat smooth surface)...

Yep in many parts of the US and indeed in my opinion. A speed limit is at least more sense than arbitrary nominal power. I’ve ridden motorcycles through NYC and good portions of the country as well as overseas and off-road. For a while, I really liked the Suzuki DRZ-400S, as it was light, had...

Other than I won't cry if I have to lift the bike AND I'm not trying to be a Specialized salesperson... ;) I intentionally chose an M600 powered bike over the Ultra, and also went out of my way to try an M500-powered bike for a day when I was visiting the EU. I'm happy I got my X2 with the...

Nothing 'new' really at the moment. The author has posted on FB and elsewhere and you can set the wheel circumference/size and max speed, which is neat and convenient via his 'black box.' The only surprise here is the latest M510 (250W motor, M600 'little brother') seems to allow a few settings...

encrypted connection, besides the TLS connection being called out, you can parse out the lencr.org references as a certificate provider. Any chance there are configuration settings in the client application for encrypted vs unencrypted connections? I'm doubting it but would be nice... Someone...

The short difference in your 'estimated' measurements (e.g. 250W vs ~305W), could be down to motor or controller efficiency, as well as drivetrain losses. In the automotive world, there's a reason most tuners call out 'wheel HP and torque' values, versus manufacturers typically calling out...

I'm sorry - this is just some Mickey Mouse level of nonsense. Looking at the Innotrace app, it already looks like they outsourced-to-a-low-cost-development team - it looks like a y2k VB or Delphi Windows 3.1 application from what I've seen. They made a conscious choice to use a non-standard...

This one can be a can of worms to some extent - tire compound(s), tread pattern, width, tire pressure, all have an effect, but also even the definition of 'hard-packed trails' changes from one person or location to another. Some hard-packed trails are solid enough that even after downpours...

As mentioned, most of us know just how variable ebike ranges are (although the OP probably doesn’t - yet ;) ). No, she rarely rides in Turbo mode. OP - just another example of things that can sometimes drastically change ebike range (assistance level).
