    I finally took my ebike for a test ride.

    This was my final setup.... But I pedal'd This gives you torque at all PAS, but speed was tempered by cadence. So PAS 1 had plenty of torque but at a very low speed.. Each PAS after that pretty much just increased the cadence before the motor would feather power

    The transition

    The most sensible would be to get a battery power wall and divert the over_volt extra current there for your own use and backup.

    I finally took my ebike for a test ride.

    And if you plan on doing a lot of programming changes... get yourself a display Y cable and you won't have to keep unplugging things. I also trimmed the rubber off the programming cable and it's now super easy to plug/unplug

    I finally took my ebike for a test ride.

    I concur... I've never had a problem with freewheels. Unless you need more 8 gears or really need specific sizes they work perfectly fine. I'm a big fan of just tucking cable slack in a frame bag. It's neat, easy to work on and there's usually enough room left for things like gloves and...

    I finally took my ebike for a test ride.

    Another thought is to set the throttle to By Displays Command. This will give you 9 different maximum throttle outputs (matching PAS) and you can just hold it wide open instead of trying to vary rotation.

    I finally took my ebike for a test ride.

    If you use something similar to my BBS02B programming scheme there's a few things you can do to make things more gentle. Set the Stop Decay above 100... I think I last was using something like 135 Set the throttle start current low.. an amp or two In practice if you tap PAS up while pedaling it...

    I finally took my ebike for a test ride.

    I'm not sure but I don't think the motors will fight each other as they both freewheel. I'm thinking like any motor going down a steep hill with minimal call for power.

    In the US each electrical service.. residential included, have their own mechanical earth ground installed at the main panel. Whether it a copper water main, ground rods, a wire ring or combination. Pen faults are not an issue and chargers are not required to shut down. In the UK a buck/boost...

    I have no experience building packs... But from what I understand you currently have a 0.23v voltage differential. If the BMS has a balance feature, which it seems to have, I'd try charging it at a very low amperage to see if the BMS can correct things. It may take a few attempts. If the...

    Giant Stormguard

    The fact that the rear rack hangs off the seat tube and is not on the rear suspension is a major plus. That was one of the first mods I did to my bike and it was a big improvement in suspension/ride feel Go for it

    Exactly what I was going to suggest... but I got lazy when I first read it 🙃 Getting the impression this is a new pack... Did you make sure your cells manufacturer lot and internal resistance were all matched? Also just double check your chargers output voltage.

    That's an end user fail... All bikes ship with the handlebars not installed.

    Washington State's new ebike laws just passed.

    Reading comprehension not your thing I guess. I said it was also the consensus of most other mups users I encountered and that I now avoid weekends so... no problem. So just for clarity you're OK with any biker high speed weaving past all including the elderly and families with young kids...

    So a reckless ebiker should get hit by a car.. but a reckless roadie needs to be stood behind and not even mentioned.

    True... but you need to lead by example, not the less of two evils.

    That was the exact headline text in all the Chernobyl newspapers in April of 86. When are we going to learn to stop shitting where we live? Forget about global warming... Most all we do is pollution, poison and short sited.

    It varies but it's mostly between 8 - 10' wide. Being in Westchester very close to NYC the population density is a factor. The MUPS offers everyone a safe place to ride and the riders being discussed ironically appreciate the endless safe/no car path...
