    Peter Flax article for Bicycling.com about the challenges presented by DTC ebikes

    Not even close to a ferrari, more like a vette I owned an Opal GT as my first car, best steering feedback of any car I have ever owned.

    Ride1up Support Nightmare - I Do Not Recommend Ride1up

    Your description and ultimate diagnosis dont seem to add up. 1.) You describe a grinding that only occurs when on throttle or PAS. Since its a hub drive which puts no load on the drivetrain (crank/chain/cassette), it most certainly sounds like a motor issue. My neighbor has a core 5 and the...

    How is purely torque-sensing PAS actually implemented?

    Your correct in that its hard to find TMM4 info that talks about a candence sensor. That being said, it can be seen clearly in their own pic (the square nub thingy) https://surface604bikes.com/products/2020-torque-sensor Looks identical to the Juiced (look at both pics)...

    Horn, Bell or Voice, how to warn others of your presence and intentions

    How is purely torque-sensing PAS actually implemented?

    A bad side effect of these is measuring the cadence off the rear cog. In doing so, you get variable cadence depending on what gear you use. If one then uses cadence as a basis for determining human power and then uses this to determine assist, you effectively have assist which can vary...

    How is purely torque-sensing PAS actually implemented?

    If you really want to see how its done, the TSDZ2 open source code would be a good start. https://github.com/OpenSourceEBike/TSDZ2-Smart-EBike I played with this code awhile back trying several things. Ultimately I abandoned the TSDZ2 due to it being a POS. In a nutshell, this code determines...
