    Throttles and California

    I defer to subject matter expertise. If only the law did the same consistently…. Reminds me of Gov LePetomane’s cabinet in Blazing Saddles fretting over protecting their “phoney baloney jobs.” Harrumph. Get your pies for the great legal pie fight. Only the finest legal opinions available. I have...

    Throttles and California

    Thank you Matt, the wording "or to attain more than 750 watts of power" is indeed separate from "motor power", therefore as you say does not qualify the sub-clause below which does refer to motor power. As power attainment is governed by the controller power setting this presumably means 750w...

    Throttles and California

    While the new California law could be interpreted to imply an absolute 750w peak power limit in that state, @Jeremy McCreary's post on the legislation thread suggests the revised wording may not apply to controller set peak power because it specifically refers to the power rating only of the...

    Offshore ebike manufacturers to disappear in 2025

    A while back on Endless Sphere some DIY enthusiasts were experimenting with Astroflight drone electric motors made in California, using reduction gearboxes as the fast revs were overkill. Otherwise if I recall the Grin Tech All Axle motor is assembled in Vancouver from imported parts. And the...

    Is that this part the ring, or this part the sensor circuit board?

    Bafang bbs02b

    Hi Dave, it might be as simple as the spoke magnet or the wheel speed sensor got out of place? Otherwise if you need to remove it to have it serviced try calling Woosh in Southend to ask if/how much they charge to do a diagnostic.

    Hello from Harvard, MA

    Re: pedal harder=go faster, maybe this is due to the PAS torque sensor? The intermittent upshift issue doesn't sound like its the AutomatiQ interface because you say it's rare and resolves itself, please post back here if Enviolo can diagnose & fix. I've read good things on here about the...

    Hello from Harvard, MA

    Hello Mike, I'm riding my back up bike to work today, it has a manual Enviolo Cargo cvt. I like I can twist and shift gear when stopped at a light, though I need to pause pedalling when I twist to change gear on the go. What has been your experience commuting/riding with the Enviolo Automatiq? I...

    Pashley to launch a consumer ebike in 2024

    You’re describing what sounds like a cross between the Achielle Esmee and Ernest steel frames and the drivetrain from the Azor Zandvoort with the Nexus 5-speed option and Shimano EP6 mid-drive (85nm). Pashley could have gone this way, and may yet decide at some future point to compete with...

    Pashley to launch a consumer ebike in 2024

    Respectfully you are not comparing like with like. A better comparison for the Velotric T1 would surely be ebikes like the Cannondale Treadwell Neo or Momentum Voya E+. This Electric Bike Report post about hub motors speculated the Velopower E35 motor system used on the Velotric T1 may be a...
