Check your bottom bracket for dirt and flying debris. I think the mud flap is not long enough to protect the underside of your ebike. You may need one of these longer flaps.

Does that mean you're gonna ban these people too?

It's the way the controllers are designed. The Metro+ controller is designed to use voltage control (max power ramp up at low speed until target speed is attained). This is more applicable to hub drives. The BBSHD's controller design uses amperage control which provide steady power regardless...

I alternate between Magnum Metro+ and my BBSHD (preinstalled from Luna), every time I go out for a ride. If you are out of shape I strongly recommend the Metro+ since it has better get up and go and effortlessly zips along on crowded streets. It is also easier to high cadence which is a good...

That was my initial thought but when I started using it I realized didn't need it after all. The semi longitudinal grip position is stable enough as well as comfortable enough to support my upper body weight and prevents my forearm from heavily resting on the handle bar.

Above 24 mph I have to go back to an aggressive riding position (hence, the aero bar extensions), however, majority of the time (more than 95% of the time) my speed is below 24 mph and I don't see any point of sacrificing my riding comfort.

After changing to a more comfortable upright position, I added an aero bar extension so I can still assume a tucked in position at high speeds.

Changing from forward position to upright is easy for me. I have been doing that to 4 of my ebikes already. First check the bicycle that you already have, and that has the comfortable position that you are already used to. Take note of the distance from the seat to the handle bar grip. Take note...

Juicebike has defaulted the program to class 3, however, the owner can also elect to tune it down to class 2, as well as change the setting to off-road mode. It's user's discretion and responsibility (I supposed it's also there in the fine prints).

it's like buying a corvette, but it does not mean that you'll be speeding all the time. However, it's nice to know that it has higher limits and you can put them into use when needed or when you want to. This is helpful most especially if you are commuting and there are segments of your route...

My throttle goes past 20 mph and it is also active at zero PAS. To make the throttle go past 20 mph, go to the throttle page, set the speed limit by displays command and designated assist level to "9". The throttle can also deliver full power at all PAS levels. To make the throttle active...

Hi Bruce, this just a simulation but is not exactly the same as the CCS since it has a a torque sensor and this is just controlled via voltage regulation (there are 2 other means of controller regulation, one is via amps and the other is via torque, and the separate torque sensor adds another...

If you routinely ride above 24 mph, you are better off getting a hub drive. The drive train of a mid drive suffers enormous strain, and has accelerated wear and tear at those speeds.

While It's true that you suffer greater transmission efficiency loss from mid drives especially at high speeds (like above 24 mph), the hub drives also has an efficiency curve and for the class 3 hub drives, it is less efficient at speeds below 15 mph. There is an overlap on which both mid...

Yeah, the PW-X assists up to 120 rpm but at what torque? Instead of fading the torque steeply from 75 rpm (in PW), the torque fades away more gently so that the bottom can reach 120 rpm. But still, the torque starts to drop early on (even less than 75 rpm in pw-x)). The Brose nominal and peak...

From the comparisons on these motors, the Brose has lower peak power compared to other motors. If the above curves are further broken down into torque figures or the twisting force (thanks to 100Cols). Color assignments are slightly different...

On the flats, you don't appreciate much on the gain in range. Regenerative braking is much more appreciated if you go to lots of hills since it does 2 things. First, it has more recuperation of energy back to the battery when ever you are going downhill. Second, it also acts as an "engine...

I think Alaskan really wants to ride a bike (for various reasons) and don't mind the cost of making it as comfortable as can be. To me, that's commendable since there are things you enjoy riding a bike that you don't get when riding a car.

I used to air up the tires of my full suspension to 60 psi and I noticed the ride is not as comfy as 45 psi. I'd say full suspension and wide comfy tire has additive effect (even synergistic effect) to the overall comfort, especially on long commutes or on rough surfaces.

By looking at the torque or the twisting force for each motor, it shows that 2 of the motors lose strength early in the cadence range. The Brose motor's torque starts dropping above 30 RPM, so the highly touted 90 NM torque is only found at the lower end of the cadence range. The Yamaha...
