    Re-greasing the Ultra motor...is it time?

    The standard seems to have similar properties (hence the similar naming) but with not as wide a temperature range and Mobil makes this statement... "Mobilith SHC 100 is an antiwear and extreme pressure grease primarily recommended for higher speed applications such as electric motors, where...

    Re-greasing the Ultra motor...is it time?

    I used Mobilith SCH100 which is the standard version and the version approved to be used with electric motors. The aviation version is a high pressure landing gear bearing grease. I may decide to use it if I start doing big jumps again 🙃 Yes/No When at first I used a little it was very quiet...

    Li-ion Battery experiences

    On my bike I think I've hit LVC less than a handful of times in all my riding. With tools it happens much more often.. but as stated earlier a more conservative LVC is already built in. Plus I use it as an excuse to be done for the day! 🙃

    Re-greasing the Ultra motor...is it time?

    At first, yes. But shortly after checking the CH it had mostly flung off. That's why you need to pack the gear compartment. In use it's like an oil. In general oils are better for gear boxes, so that's why the I think the CH works well. Think of the motor and transmission in your car. But imo...

    Re-greasing the Ultra motor...is it time?

    I definitely wouldn't change the gears unless they were worn and needed to be changed. And I can tell you from personal experience that Ai is full of s*it 🙃 The SCH100 definitely has better gear cling than Cornhead.. and it's definitely not quieter than CH. I agree that SCH100 gives...

    Re-greasing the Ultra motor...is it time?

    What year is your motor? It's hard to be sure as you can't see the entire rotor gear.. but it looks to be pre 2023 with the 9 tooth. Starting in 2023 they start using a 15 tooth and the motor is " supposed to be" a little quieter. I have one of each and though 15t is technically quieter, it's...

    Entered My First Gravel Race........with the Frey Beast

    No I don't think it includes leg power... But that's easy enough to test. Just ride in PAS 0 and see if there's any reading. None of the displays I've used include leg power. What do you mean crude? I didn't use the DPC-18 for long but the readout is very similar to the APT displays. At times...

    Li-ion Battery experiences

    I have some very old batteries that still work but they're Nicad or NiMh not lithium. As to how they age there's a few things going on when they begin to degrade and depending on the management but it usually shows itself as decreased Ah. Not reaching full charge can be either age degradation...

    Li-ion Battery experiences

    This came back to mind posting in another thread so I thought I'd add a quick update. All 3 batteries worked perfectly for the rest of the 2025 season, stored well and as usual over the winter and have been working at or very close to new in the handful of times I've used it this year...

    The transition

    If people can't understand that China is playing the long game, then their heads are in their ass and the sand.

    The transition

    I'm in a somewhat similar experience in that my Atlas 40v/80v lawn equipment is 6 years old and I'm just getting into the 7th season. My original 2 batteries still work as, or very close to new. I did add a third battery that is now 3 years old and I can't tell the difference between any of the...

    The transition

    Does anyone own a shovel so we can put this dead horse to bed once and for good. Beating him has shown to be some sort of intellectual arm wrestle of the obtuse 🙃

    Just received a new Dorado 25ah battery

    ciao Sandro With almost certainty your battery's origin will be China as that's where the majority come from... even many of the major brands. All my batteries including my tools have Chinese made batteries. Where the difference lies is buying from a reputable seller. They have the Chinese...

    What are the 5 slots on an Aventon battery?

    Not familiar with your particular bike but yes the controller seems to be the common denominator. Have you checked to see if you have an Aventon dealer in your area?

    Entered My First Gravel Race........with the Frey Beast

    Can't you see the power on the display? I assumed it came with the Ultra default DPC18 display edit Quick Google says that you probably have the third party APT 750c which is a nice one. I have their 860c. If you do.. you should see real time power usage.

    Entered My First Gravel Race........with the Frey Beast

    If I did the math correctly.. That's a nice pace with all that climbing. Especially if you have obstacles and other riders to contend with. I'll add one more to the Q & A Do you happen to know the max power output in Eco 1? For example my PAS 1 is set to max out at 1.5a or approximately 72...

    What are the 5 slots on an Aventon battery?

    That's what I would try... Some contact cleaner should at the very least be a temporary fix if that's your problem. That said if the display is working, the battery is making a connection. As for the ABC connections there's many variables and that's specific to that bike and/or brand on what...

    Re-greasing the Ultra motor...is it time?

    Yeah that's more grease than I've seen on most post factory inspection. I'm torn between the two greases I've tried on different motors as they both seem to work well. Regressing is easy enough so even if the CH doesn't last as long, it's not a deal breaker. Some here swear by it. The SCH100 is...

    Entered My First Gravel Race........with the Frey Beast

    I'd love to ride a Beast for a day... but in reality that's probably too much bike for my aging ol' ass and the standard version really leaves me wanting not. I have a spare motor so I've contemplated building a lighter weight off road rocket... but then reason convinces me that those days are...

    Just received a new Dorado 25ah battery

    The 21700 cells if they can be used are about 20% more energy dense than 18650 cells but in a relatively small predetermined size build like an ebike battery case, I don't think the weight difference will be significant enough to make a difference..
