    Charging to 80% without a Satiator

    When I got my bike I was in much worse shape, and used way more of my battery on my 30 mile commute than I do now. I can safely do 20-80 now, but I couldn't when I started last year. So you might find yourself in the same position as you go forward.

    Favorite CCS upgrades/accessories?

    Quadlock case and their out front mount to securely attach my phone to the handlebars. I use it as a roadcam with a battery in my panniers, charged via a zip tied and frame matching USB C cable. Having footage of any incidents can be invaluable.

    New CCX Pictures

    Anyone have pictures of where the wires come out of the bottom of the downtube? Thinking about a CCS modification.

    750 watt vs 500 watt motor

    That is very important, I think, but you may be confusing the nomimal power output of the motor (500w vs 750w) with the watt hours of the battery (capacity) So a 48v x 14Ah battery = 672 Wh, no matter what kind of motor you have it attached to. Personally I think upgrading to a 52V and close to...

    Pedalling thru restricted zones with both assist and throttle off?

    I think it'll depend on your municipality. I've never had an issue on these paths, if it's shared use I never ride above 15mph, which is slower than most people can ride a non-electric bike. Like kloxxe above, I think it'll mostly come down to how you behave, and to an extent what your bike...

    A different kind of intermittent power issue

    There are a couple of threads explaining how. Basically use voltage to calculate %, convert to Ah, subtract this from the 80% Ah, divide by 2 = number of hours. If 48.7V = 20% = 4.08AH and 56.3V = 80% = 16.35AH, then for 12 Ah, it'll take 6 hours to charge to 80%. This is an example with a new...

    CCX - Front fork vibrating upon braking

    Have you checked the distance of the brake rotor to pad while slowly spinning the wheel? I would make sure the gap between the two is the same for the entire revolution of the wheel. If there was a problem with the rotors/pads/wheel itself/wheel position, you should see the gap grow or shrink...

    2021 Class 3 Commuter Ebikes Thread: A Comprehensive Listing

    The safety factor is brought up a lot, but here are some hard numbers: Rider speed - Kinetic energy in Joules (If total mass is 250lbs, which is true for me) 15mph - 2,549 Joules 20mph - 4,532 Joules 25mph - 7,082 Joules 30mph - 10,198 Joules When speed doubles, kinetic energy quadruples...

    2021 Class 3 Commuter Ebikes Thread: A Comprehensive Listing

    I'm not very upset about this state of affairs, honestly. Most people don't want or need a bike capable of 28-32mph, and the way I see people bike in my city, they would be a danger to themselves and pedestrians. 20mph easy to find pedelecs for the average consumer, harder to find class 3 for...

    Charging to 80% without a Satiator

    So Juiced actually published their own chart, which is way off what any of us came up with. Not exactly helping the confusion. https://support.juicedbikes.com/hc/en-us/articles/360014966591-My-52V-battery-is-always-shown-as-full

    Latest mirror advice?

    I'm looking at the options for handlebars, but I had this wrist pain too my first few rides. The solution for me was simple, I loosened the ergonomic grip and got myself into my ideal position on the bike, including how I hold the bars, and rotated them up so my wrists were in a straight line...

    Cordless portable air inflators

    Looks nice, but surprisingly large to me. Are you planning on frame mounting it or carrying it in a bag? I found a great little pump that I use: https://www.amazon.com/Pro-Bike-Tool-Schrader-Compatible/dp/B00XLGKU14/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1550171623&sr=8-5&keywords=presta+gauge+bike+pump - And...

    Latest mirror advice?

    There are some velcro mirrors that would probably work, but it's definitely an imperfect solution: https://www.amazon.com/Bell-7015978-SMARTVIEW-Mirror-Black/dp/B000LOG3EW Like ebikemom, I went a different route, and got the Bike Peddler glasses-mounted option. I have a pair cycling of glasses...

    With so many electrical components onboard, how do you wash/clean your ebike?

    I was hesistant to get one, but Park Tool's Chain Gang Cyclone chain cleaner has been amazing. I thought I was doing a good job cleaning my chain by hand with shop towels, but it it took four cycles of regular dawn dish soap before the water in the Cyclone didn't turn black. Chain looks brand...

    Protective bike jackets?

    Looks like a good jacket. You may be interested in this thread: https://electricbikereview.com/forums/threads/what-do-you-wear-when-e-biking.26223/ I considered the Alpine Stars Evolution, Sixsixone Evo, and the Dainese Rhyolite 2 as my top three. Went with the Alpinestars jacket because the...

    Charging to 80% without a Satiator

    How did you bump it up to 45v? I have the 52v pack and this happens in my settings: I just realized this thread exploded. I'll update the original post once I catch up on the replies. If this is correct, why do we think the Satiator manufacturer's math, which they use to program the 80%...

    Charging to 80% without a Satiator

    Who originated the chart? No single resource is going to be perfect, and the charts here show why: https://lygte-info.dk/review/batteries2012/Common18650CurvesHigh%20UK.html Batteries with the same rated capacity have different actual mAh depending on how much load you put them under, with the...

    Mounting and dismounting

    This starting and stopping video is how I got my wife to change from a very low seated position to a more efficient higher position.
