I have ridden on the lawn and grounds around the US Capitol building in Washington D.C. a few times. First time, just after the Jan-6 kerfuffle, I stopped to talk to a bunch of U.S. Capitol Police gathered out front. They asked me if my bike could climb the steps of the Capitol Building? I said...

Claiborne Parkway

I woudnt get far riding drunk. But after a "hit" or two, my riding is very graceful.

Actually Mike, he was about 5 feet away from me at all times, so no, he couldn't smell my beath. He did't ask for my name or ID, which I found odd, and never asked me to dismount my bike. He didn't do the normal things an officer does to establish contol of the encounter. I don't think he even...

So true. So true. It would have gotten very confrontational.

That about sums it up! Once I get on that bike and start rolling to some fast tempo music, I feel like kid again! My Playlist starts out: Danger Zone - Kenny Loggins Shut Down - Beach Boys Sultans of Swing - Dire Straights (Alchemy Live) On Her Majesty's Secret Service - James Bond Theme...

Sounds good. I am curently running two 17.5Ah batteries on my Luna Z1 w/Bafang Ultra. I used a battery balancer so I run with both of them on at the same time. Before the battery balancer, I used them as swap-outs. Sure feels goof to have all that juice.

If you can make the additional cable, to plug your battery into the port it will work fine. You probably wont get all of the juice out of the 48V battery due to LVC limit in the controller. You should get a lot more range. Running 48V won't have a damaging effect on your system. Your 52V battery...

My speed sensor went bad about 11 months ago, so my throttle doesn't work. With torque sensing, I haven't missed my throttle one bit.

What Slaphappy said is true. You've got a BMS in the battery I presume, but the LVC in the controller is programmed for a 52V battery and will cut off your 48V Battery sooner than normal. If you are able to program your motor controller you may be able to adjust that. a 48V battery will not...

Original post, updated He was mad hot. In a calm and measured voice, I said: “Well, I’ve been doing this run for four years since I got my bike during the pandemic. Each day, I’ve gained more strength, and developed new skills incrementally. Each day I tend to push the limits just a bit more...

A Deputy Sherrif actually. I was cruising my usual route, an eight mile round-trip run of paved tails, running parallel to a 2X2, 4 lane parkway with a wide grassy median strip. The trails and surrounding areas are beautifully manicured, lined with landscaped trees, rock walls, shrubs, flowers...

Gotcha

PCeBiker, what do you mean "choose not to be exploited"?

Actaully, torque sensing maps to the throttle circuitry in the controller. It basically adds throttle power in a consistent smooth fashion based on pedal pressure.

Sounds like marketing mumbo jumbo. Just go to torque sensing already. A torque sensing bottom bracket can be had for $60-$100 retail!. There is no cost difference for a torque sensing or cadence sensing controller or display. They are just delaying the inevitable.

Merlin, can you share us a coy of the owners manual pdf for the 3X3 Nine?

Yeah, I passed on the Kindernay precisely because there was not enough anecdotal or actual data on its long term performance and reliability. Kindernay had no track record in manufacturing, servicing, or inventorying sufficient parts. For those reasons, Kindernay was never a contender for me. I...

Both the Rohloff and Kindernay have been tested at 2,300 Watts, 250Nm by Watt Wagons with no damage. The test was performed with the hubs starting from a standstill in each of their gearts (1-14) at 250Nm with no damage. The Rohloff hub internal gears cannot be damaged no matter how much torque...

Consider your self "mocked"! :eek:
