FWIW, just because you have a high power ebike doesnt mean you dont have to work out. The 'only' reason I stress my human power levels is to emphasize that I am actually getting a workout. Im not really into posting ride stats, only doing so for those who get all excited about them. I get the...

Update from last post I have given up trying to compare the RH212 to the GMAC and BBSHD for the ride I had outlined(worst case for hub drives). I seem to always do it faster in the BBSHD which makes it hard to compare stats like efficiency. This probably just shows that the BBSHD/mid drive is...

Nice try Well actually thats only about 5-8 miles of certain rides I do. I do all sorts of rides but I selected my DIY electric powertrain to handle the worst case condition power wise. Im guessing your not familair with the diversity of riding conditions in the front range of CO. Most of my...

I have ridden all over the bay area for many years and am aware of how the wind works everywhere in that area since I moved their specifically to windsurf. I also flew/raced RC slope soaring gliders which was a whole nuther level of understanding all the wind patterns in the bay area. The open...

I rode sport and dirt bikes for years, not the same experience...much prefer riding ebikes in my later years. Most of my riding is about 300watts from the bike and 150 to 200 watts from me (last ride average was 180 human watts). If I need the full 1500W, its there anytime I want. I cant...

So back to the OPs question. If you are truly concerned about cycling in high winds, its going to take power plain and simple, for that use case, 48V or even 52V would be better I live in the front range of colorado near boulder and riding in the winter means dealing with high winds, battling...

Wow, thanks for posting that...I will check my Turbo Levo. Damn 36V mass produced donkey power euro trash :cool:

Did you fart on a hub drive or mid drive? Did you fart while using throttle?

Its always fun to see how you choose to categorize and select 'facts' to prove your weak arguments. 'Call to authority' seems your preferred debating technique. I prefer well established physics. No doubt the "ebike fire" issue is real and probably related to cheaper bikes with less quality...

Arguments always arise when Stefan tries to contradict simple physics by using the 'call to authority' argument philosophy https://www.intelligentspeculation.com/blog/argument-from-authority

Exactly, 36V is fine for the lower power euro-spec bikes which is where all these systems are designed. I am in no way arguing that. Designing lower voltage electronics is also cheaper since higher voltage components usually cost more. The point I am making is that this is ONLY valid in europe...

Doesnt really proof anything If you take that 36V motor and run it at 48V without any circuitry to limit power, it will produce more power. https://ebikes.ca/tools/simulator.html?motor=MG310_STD&axis=mph&motor_b=MG310_STD&bopen=true&batt_b=B4816_GA&cont=PR&cont_b=PR Here is a good article...

Lemon pledge has been used for MTBs for quite awhile, one step clean and polish.

Definately agree....its also the most fun to ride, not sure why that is..perhaps lowest cg. If it had torque sensing thats all I would own. I have high hopes for the CYC proton I did do a 6 month stint on just the BBSHD (on both DIY ebikes). When I went back to the GMAC with torque sensing...

Here is one using a RH212(DD) with statorade compared to a GMAC 10T(geared hub) https://ebikes.ca/tools/simulator.html?motor=GMAC10T&batt=B5216_GA&wheel=29i&mass=140&axis=mph&motor_b=9C212_7.5T_SA&batt_b=B5216_GA&wheel_b=29i&mass_b=140&bopen=true&grade=9&grade_b=9 The DD starts to overheat over...

I love the silence of my RH212 as well. It definately is a dog below 15mph and starting from a stop. Hills take quite a bit more power (i.e. 0% to 6% I go from a constant 300W to 600W. I can also use my legs). All that matters is that you like it 👍 The hub vs mid-drive debate will never end...

Isnt the grin motor simulator fun. You can also play with I think their trip analyzer and use actual terrain data. Lots of variables to play with (lots of videos on how to use). Justin also gave some good insights to his BBS02/BBSHD testing and incorporation into the tool on...

I would agree with that both from experience and using the grin motor simulator. Sure the geared hub drive can go up steep hills, just not for long. I did an exhausting analysis on the grin simulator a few years back and the GMAC10t would start overheating at anything over 6% (at full power)...

This comparison at grin seems to contradict your claim...

On the subject of butt soreness, I only recently started encountering it in the last few years. All my riding is on flat handlebars. What has changed? I have slowly been raising handlebar height due hand numbness. There can be all sorts of reasons for this (age, weight, core strength). At...
