I had the Falco Hx500 motor rebuilt on a 26" wheel. I build this for my son at Univ of Maryland, to book across campus. Kudos to Falco's easy programming. Set the speed limit to 20 mph and adjusted for a horizontal drop out. Battery is 48V, 11.6 Ahr.

He doesn't HAVE to ride it at 50mph.... but he could. A few miles of real world riding and the speed/bumps will tame down the joy of those 1" tires. and no helmet? really?

pics?

Florian, I can send you the latest interface version. What is your email? D

Amen brotha!

Also, what is your Rohloff cog selection? 48T/15T? Other?

Court, Where did you buy those bar ends and 1/2 length ego grips? D

Yes, that Rohloff really allows some high gearing/higher power performance. I had one on an Optibike 1100, with 165 nm of torque. It can hold. Your BBS02 at 750W is kind of designed to draw some power. I suppose if you dial down the controls to around 500W, you will be back to previous...

Bike looks great ... and fast!

T- Good input and perspective from a bike rider who has discovered "ebikes".

Eddie, Thanks for the different perspective in England.

Donny, I am curious what bike you ride, if you don't mind sharing? Also, electric motors are very torquey and can accelerated real fast. Even a 250w "ave" power motor can be programmed to take off fast. It is the peak amps, not average . The higher power comes into play when you are going up...

Premise: ebikes must not be allowed to operate at speeds faster than normal bicycles. Result: 20mph legal limit / 15 in Europe. 750w limit on motor output. False Aaumptions and issues: What is normal ? Grandma's speed or a road cyclist? Should not the power and range of ebikes support the...

Well said.

Quick video from commute to work today.

Ravi, what is the weight range of these bikes? Whrs?

I think your Spec Turbo, with a 250W++ ddhub, concealed downtube battery and speed pedelec feature was actually ahead of its time in 2013-14. Commuting options are not much better, especially for the lower weight of the Turbo.

congrats. I'm in a rebuild too with a titanium frame, 26", I bought used. My Trek DS (picture to left) got rear ended and bent the frame. I am transferring the components to this Litespeed Titanium frame. I had a set of 26" Mavic Crosstrails. Fun stuff. I look forward to your finished...

Not all want more power because not all needs more power. A 250W MD can smash the hills. So can a 350-500-700W MD and do it faster. They are still much, much less powerful and lighter than even a 100cc motorcycle. Everything greater than 15mph and 250W is not a motorcycle. Not mentioned...

Power rating in watts is typically the expected average power the motor can handle (ie Heat) at 100% of the time. Then you have peak power during acceleration and up hills, which is likely 2x the normal rating, depending on controller/bms/ battery limits. For comparison, I like to use the...
