Robert, I just saw this, sorry to reply so late. You are on the right track and I agree a cell is dropping out most likely. Once the 36V battery hit 34V, it would go into safe mode. A hard slug of current will drop voltage in a bad cell like a hot potato. An external battery would work...

See pics with aeros here: https://electricbikereview.com/forums/threads/optibike-1100r-commuting-data-summer-2012.480/ I had to *cut* the bars and add a wooden dowel extender. It made the aeros a tad wider and more comfortable, yet kept my head down and shoulders relaxed, with a good power...

PS. Fork with lockout allows for an on-the-fly active suspension when needed, and a stiff fork when road is ok. If you bike is under 50lbs, then maybe going all stiff is fine up to 25mph. If over 50lbs and up, with bigger battery and heavy ddhub, why not a couple extra lbs for a nice air fork ?

Ravi, I am glad you had some carbon dampening, wow. You can add aero bars to a flat bar as well. I did that with my Optibike, and wire din a throttle. It was great to ride on the elbows. Road bike curved drop bars offer a better grip of the hood brakes and have less stress on wrists. But...

It is a nice looking mid drive with the motor integrated tight. Id like to see more specs.

High speed pedelecs >>> get a nice air fork with lockout! Come on people, are we not learning anything about high speed, long haul riding? Ok, *IF* Ravi gets on here and debunks my assertion based upon him riding 5100 miles on an ST2 with a rigid fork, then I will take that back. But my...

So what happens if a small rock gets lodged between the rim and one of those rollers? Instant stop and go flying? Conventional wheel has spokes and the spokes give or break the object.

Different design.

Hello Voltbike, I like your 750W upgrade for 2016. Q. Any chance or way to upgrade the front light? My son's (stolen) 2015 Yukon had the light and it was not a rugged light and broke off easily. Also, it was not bright at all.

btw, what are the requirements ? Time limit one year? No drafting, check. Throttle vs PAS matter?

How is your recovery going? I saw where you had several 200+ mile days in a row! That's 9-10 hours a day! Wow. That's a lot of energy.

I tried to verify the Camper story, but could not get a final total. http://latinousa.org/2014/12/12/family-takes-epic-bike-ride/ The thread on Endless Sp forum had them at 4900 miles on Dec 15, 2014. This is the dad's last entry...

So how does Guiness differentiate between you and : campers: http://www.camperclan.com/new-venture-were-publishers/ Corbetts: https://www.e-bikeshop.co.uk/blog/post/ebike-world-record-haibike-bosch-ebike/ ?

Ravi, My hats is off to you. That is a tough feet, supported or not! I followed the Troy Rank blog, which was amazing as well, unsupported, video editing, camping, etc. But he did use a throttle and was not PAS all the way.

Ravi, I just saw yesterday where you broke the record, congrats! Somehow in the summer hustle, I missed your whole event! I caught up on Lenny's blog last night. What a feat. That's a lot of pedaling, yes? FMI, what are the requirements for your record? I wonder because of the other...

Yes, those grips are mounted in reverse. Story: I had to swap handlebars for this bike and I slit the grip down the middle for time sake, thinking i'd get new grip. Due to time, I reused the old ones but flipped them 180 and used glue. Lame, I agree, but it works for college.

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?
