    Newton Meters on a Pioneer Allroad

    Nm: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newton_metre .... one Newton meter equals .74 foot pounds force, and .74 ft lbs equals about one watt. Still don't understand? Me neither. If you only get 65 Nm from a 500 watt motor, it appears that a lot of energy has disappeared somewhere.

    Motiv Shadow - 1000 Mile Review - Part 1

    Thanks to Cameron at Motiv, I swapped the tires out to Schwalbe Marathon Plus, with kevlar strips and the tubes have been slimed. So no more flats. I have not had any rattling, my bike seems to be sturdy.

    You might call BatteriesPlus in SF 415 885 5500. See if they can help you.

    Motiv Shadow - 1000 Mile Review - Part 1

    Yup, and the question is: What can be done to cool the battery and to prevent the damage?

    Batteries, how much life do they have, and how hard is it to carry a second one?

    Go for a long ride @ about 18mph, note your range. Include your weight and other parameters. For accuracys sake, try throttle only and no heavy pedalling! I'll betcha you get about 24 miles total.

    Batteries, how much life do they have, and how hard is it to carry a second one?

    Two miles per amp hour. If you don't weigh much, are on the flats, with no head wind, and you sip at the battery, and you pedal moderately and if your bike is not a cruiser style, you will get more miles per amp hour, perhaps much more.

    At higher speeds, generally two miles per amp hour. At slower speeds I can approach 40+ miles on a my 36 Volt, 15 AH battery.

    All of the above. I would like to see this site become even more informationally deep and wide. So that the viewers have even more reason to stick around and return again and again. Sort of like Slashdot is for the nerdic people. Court would probably need some help to accomplish this. The site...

    Motiv Sleek for retired 62 yr Female, 5'7" recreational use

    The Motiv Shadow has a non-adjustable shock, that actually works. I also installed a Thudbuster. Yeah, that makes for a vertically oscillating, but cushioned bouncy ride. That diverts energy. However my hands, butt, and back stay happier during long rides. If you are a young buck, you don't...

    Cameron at Motiv will put a pedalec sensor on this bike if you ask for it. It will have to cost more though.
