While I like having a throttle, I typically only use the throttle to cross a busy street or to restart on an uphill if I have to stop for some reason. Otherwise it is only pedal assist. But we have some pretty steep roads here and I could use a little more help now and then. I am thinking of...

I currently have a Salsa Fargo with the Bafang 1kw motor and a 52v battery. It rides ok except that the bearings dont seem to last more than a year of hard use. Ihave thought about going to the 750 watt motor but I really need the power. I understand that CYC makes an ebike kit that can go up...

I really haven’t tried using the throttle while pedaling on the photon yet. On the Bayfang kits they changed the controller a couple of years ago so you could either pedal or throttle but not both at the same time. Consequently I don’t use it much. Heck, I haven’t even tested my max speed on...

While the roads are typically pretty straight but hilly, the bike trails and fire roads we ride on might be called beginner to intermediate for a mountain bike. I prefer to be leaning forward a bit, not super aggressive but it allows me to take on tight curves a lot easier. Did you get the...

Went to a flat mountain bar and a bontrager 185 saddle, fixed the sit up problem! Yes the throttle works from zero Km. I use the throttle when I have to restart going up hill or to quickly accelerate across a road. Haven‘t tried riding with just the throttle.

55/19. It came with 55/22 but I was having trouble keeping up with the ebike group on the flats. The changed fixed that and didnt seem to effect my climbing other than changing gear selection. I guess what I might have to consider next season is one of type 3 mountain bikes or maybe something...

Took the bike out for a 20 miler and noticed no issues on normal roads. It has no issues climbing the grades, it becomes about using the right gear, adding power and keeping cadence. On the way home my wife wanted to race up a long steep grade and off we went. Her bike is a 750 watt rear...

The motor I have is the CAN version. The manufacturer set it for off road which gave me the 1,000 watts vs the 750. It sounds like a real complicated and expensive process. I wonder if there are some other bike companies out there building small batch off road e bikes, I heard that biketrix...

Make that M620. Phone keys are so small😀

Interesting, how do I configure the N620 for 2200watts? The display shows a max of 1500.

Max wattage on the M620 on this bike is 1500watts. The same as my BBSHD.

Thanks for the advice! I will stay away then. Will finish riding out this year with the bike I have.

Maybe I am used to a quicker bike? I will try to slow down on the hills and let the bike do most of the work.

It is funny that you mention BBSHD. I have 2 other ebikes one with a bafang 750W mid motor add on and another with the 1KW BBSHD kit added. Both if those bikes are lighter and seem to be much more powerful than the new bike. I guess I am spoiled as the BBSHD is powering a Salsa Via and I have...

I have a nice stepthrough e bike with an M620 motor. I am still finding some tough pedaling on very long and steep upgrades. I noticed today, (on line), that there is a company that can modify the output of a fully functional M620 from a 1,000/1,500 watt motor to (IIRC) to 1,500/2300watts...

Oh yes, we typically get a small suite where the bikes go into the room and everything, including the bikes get charged up over night. The weak link seems to be the fancy iWatches. The batteries on a rural trip are only good for about 5-6 hours. I have learned on long rides not to use the...

When we do long distance riding (200-300 miles) we typically ride about 50 miles a day so that equates to about 4-6 hour ride days (that is about max for my Wife). Then we check into a hotel, shower and relax. I think I will go with the bolt and give that a try. I hope it will recognize more...

I did take some time on the DCRainmaker website. Thanks for the referral! I did a comparison of the 540 vs the Roam and when I just looked at what I might be interested in they both cost about the same and were both excellent choices.
