    13 months since I added a 2nd battery with a battery balancer. - Works flawlessly.

    I added a second battery 13 months ago using this battery balancer from Amazon. I'm using two 48V 17.5Ah batterys for a total of 35Ah's. It has worked flawlessly.

    Installed a Rohloff Speedhub 14, IGH on my mid-drive Luna Z1 Ultra Mag

    It's been 15 months since I installed the Rohloff hub on my Luna Z1 eMTB. The hub has operated flawlessly without a single adjustment. I really love this hub and could never go back to the ol' derailleur system.

    What does it mean when one motor is better than another??

    No, there is not, except for you, test driving each bike and motor before buying. I recommend that you purchase from a local LBS. Test drive and compare their offerings.

    Bafang Ultra motor for the ultimate riding experience

    Congrats on the change up. The Bafang Ultra is a pleasure to ride. I've been riding the Ultra for 2+ years now on my full suspension eMTB. Zero problems, always plenty of power to get the job done. I rode the Bafang BBSHD for two years prior to that, same power and torque. Still runs flawlessly...

    My bike with “130nm” can’t keep up with a trike with 90nm??

    Considering motors don't actually have a "watt rating" the answer is "no". Watt ratings are BS, and each manufacurer could use differnet measurement standards if they want to. If you are buying a motor, controller, or battery(BMS), you should understand the nominal and peak operating parameters...

    My bike with “130nm” can’t keep up with a trike with 90nm??

    OEM Tourque "ratings" are not indicitive of speed. I believe the addmotor is a rear hub drive? Rear hubs can be very fast, and can ramp up speed quickly, often faster than mid-drives. I ride an eMTB with a Bafang Ultra mid-drive rated at 165nm. I have an Aventon Level with a 90nm rear hub motor...

    No power/current display after Ultra 620 Canbus-UART conversion

    Sounds like the contorller is just not reporting the amps and watts ot the display? Or teh display is not reading it? But the bike runs fine?

    Multiple Rohloff issues on Supercharger

    I did a deep dive on Rohloff before I installed the Rohloff on my eMTB. Searched many a forums and determined that the electronic shift version is plagued with problems. Many unhappy owners. I installed the manual shift version and could not be happier. Riding vary hard for 14 months almost...

    Issues with brand new ebike

    "Or could it be that all these problems (completely warped wheel and broken spoke) happened because I had the seatpost changed, and this is not the original configuration?" The temptation is oh so strong with this one :p

    Installed a Rohloff Speedhub 14, IGH on my mid-drive Luna Z1 Ultra Mag

    Thanks! Yeah Rohloff hubs have been available on Amazon for a while. Understand, I do not believe these are hubs and parts are being sold by Rohloff authorized distributors or service/sales centers. https://www.rohloff.de/en/company/worldwide

    Luna Z1 - First impressions

    I had issues too with adjustments. Very finicky. I had minor damage too many times on rocks, roots, etc. Then it was too finicky to adjust after tiny mishaps. I finally ditched the whole dearailleur thing and installed the Rohloff 14 Speed IGH. Man it is heaven on an eMTB! I would never go back...
