Not an experiment I'm going to run any time soon, heck I can average 18 mph, including some big hills, on a road bike. All this speculation and calculation, do you have a bike yet? -S

I have no solid data on that. -S

I've ridden with people that are running the CA, they basically watch the voltage and get a pretty accurate understanding of range, switching profiles as needed to limit consumption and extend range. Sounds like you are going to need about 40 or 50 amp hours, that's going to be a heavy load. -S

Lots of folks use the Cycle Analyst, not exactly a generic gauge, more of a controller and monitor. Some OEM uses include the Stealth Bomber, check em out if you have not already done so. -S

Would not be the first new bike to have tight cones, my 2014 Dash had a front wheel with crazy tight cones. I know you checked them out but maybe it warrants another look or J.R.'s suggestion of a trip to the shop if you don't have the thin wrenches and mechanical chops. I've also seen new...

Worth a go, maybe some acetone if you have any handy. Then try the break-in method of a few hard stops. I recently tried some metallic pads that were in stock and quickly replaced them with the proper resin composites (using factory part numbers), no pulsing but a bit squeaky and grindy. Good...

BTW - The top motor has permanent magnets on the rotor, 36 of them. The Crystalyte X5 motor is a beast, nothing like what the Dash has. Latter generations have seen 5 Kw pumped into them! -S

Neodymium magnets are indeed strong but they are near copper windings.. ever pick up an old copper penny with a magnet? I don't think so. This is why I personally feel cogging effects are over-estimated by many users. Energise those coils and now forces come to life, electromagnet/permanent...

Pulsing is usually a sign of a bent rotor. How true are your rotors?

Moab has closed many trails to e-bikes, single track stuff from what I recall. Dumb.

Looks pretty clean! Hope you picked it up for a great price. -S

For example; Tour mode (2nd of 4 levels) on my Bosch mid-drive would just about make 33 miles if it were not for the 600 feet of elevation change, 29 miles is more realistic with my route so I would have to drop to eco for the last 6 or 7 miles. I carry a 2nd battery in the doggie pack (we just...

Like I said if you have not experienced a BodyFloat you may not get it. Mine started on a hardtail and made it feel like a new bike. Nothing in the industry reacts faster than a spring under compression in the parallelogram configuration. Regarding efficiency you are overthinking it, the BF does...

Tried the bike without it and found that I was getting a bit of a push off the seat after a bump, with the BodyFloat the saddle is glued to my arse. Also the BF can react much more quickly than the full length of the swingarm and so addresses the high frequency bumps of everyday riding. I...

Strain gauge torque sensors offer better granularity in the power curve over strictly mechanical solutions, this is beautifully illustrated in the Bosch controller by the power level indicator, and supported by the sampling rate. For the amount of time I spend on my e-bike I'm happy to pay more...

The torque sensor (strain gauge) in the BB is awesome, 100 Hz is not really that fast in todays EE world, think of how much faster your CPU is running. I say it is awesome because the system never gives me that surge cycle that I have experienced on other e-bikes, rather it is very smooth and...

Hold the Reset & Info buttons down for approximately 3 seconds while the controller is on the bike and a main battery installed, it will not work off the bike. This puts you in configuration mode and I was able to make the adjustment, as a test for you just moments ago. -S EDIT: BTW - the range...

Funny mine is like an inverse key, straight on the edges with a path milled in the middle, this key would not work. Came with a spare BTW. -S

I've seen those arrows in the LCD matrix but they have never illuminated. Would be cool to repurpose them as average speed > or < indicators. -S

Nice lookin bike, decent specs. Just put a BodyFloat or Thudbuster on it so you can do some distance with relative comfort, makes a big difference on hardtail bikes. -S
