    Actually, each PAS level setting is a percent of max amperage, which for my bike's motor is 30A. Looking at the trip graphs provided by the Eggrider app, it seems that programmed amperage at the current PAS level is switched rapidly on and then down to a lower value according to the torque...

    Please compare Bafang Ultra vs Bafang BBSHD, especially reliability.

    Yes, the Ultra is rated for 30A, which amounts to about 1500W. It has huge torque; so if the rider is not aware and careful, the drive train can be damaged. Jacking it up to 60A is certainly possible, and the motor seems to be okay with that much current, but you would be setting it up for a lot...

    Please don't be so irritable, Harleyman. We are flying blind, since the meaning of many of the crucial Bafang parameters is guesswork. Riders differ and so do the various bikes this motor is mounted on. I personally stick to adjusting the PAS percentages, and, by the way, I have gone from using...

    The Juggernaut FS Ultra with standard torque settings performed well today. That is, it felt like a very heavy MTB, and I felt like Superman riding it. I mostly rode using PAS level 3 (or less), which is set at 40% assistance. On a variety of roads, mostly dirt and sometimes very steep, the bike...

    The deep mud on the local roads is nearly dried or frozen or both; so I'm going out for a ride today. Will report if I have anything to report.

    And, for good luck, here are the Bafang pedal settings. Mode, Road or Off Road, does not affect the settings as shown. Likely you could have a different set of pedal values for each mode. Don't know and, so far, have no reason to care. Speaking of modes, the two modes can be labeled in...

    The Biktrix torque settings I supplied are not correct. I think. I did not first click the Read button. So, who knows what those values are? I am attaching screen shots made after reading the motor settings. It seems very odd that the app, when first connecting to the EggRider, would not read...

    Perhaps your lowest non-zero pedal assist level is too high for your particular drive train. I'd think chain slack would not matter, since the drive tension is on the non-slack part of the chain.

    Perhaps some of you may have noticed that many of the values are mysterious and without clear meaning or even units. What is needed, more than a set of values that work well on a particular bike, is an explanation of what they are, what they do, and how they interact. A set that works well on a...

    Let me relate that things get a lot simpler using the EggRider display. My Biktrix Jugg FS Ultra came with the DCP-18, and I found little to like in it. Decided to try the EggRider. Its main problem is updating its firmware. I had to mess around a bit to make it happen. Otherwise, it's pretty...

    Juggernaut Ultra FS

    By the way, on rocky roads the rear suspension helps quite a bit. I stay off popular single-track out of consideration for acoustic cyclists of whom I'm one. Winter now, and I'm busy skiing the backcountry of Wolf Creek Pass CO. Will report more on my Jugg Ultra FS experience when the snow is...

    Interesting, Thomas. I've been running my expensive phone off the Reention Dorado 48V pack that came with the Biktrix. So far, so good. I'd think that Apple or whoever should and would provide protection in their devices for over-voltage on a USB port. To Pharroh: If you want to charge both a...

    I am not saying that everyone must have torque sensing drives. I'm saying why someone might want one. That's why I wanted one and got one (Biktrix Juggernaut Ultra FS). I'm glad I did. BTW, I'm seventy-five. Don't wear spandex either.

    Why would you want torque sensing? Well, because you want the ebike to feel like an acoustic bike but with a stronger rider, that's why.

    I think your life will be easier with the EggRider + phone. Program on the road or trail, better display that calculates & shows kwh/mile in real time. Phone also doubles as live map.
