Everyone's entitled to their opinion I guess. I am a big fan of big battery's, more range not so much more power. What's would be the config on that? 60v/24.5ahr would be maybe (7c x 16p). 7 x 3.7v = 24.5, 16c x 3.7v = 59.2v. Thats 112 batteries equivalent to a 28 air 52v battery now. Im runing 140 batteries on my ride at 52v tomato, tomato.
New ideas are what push the advancement of any sport. A stock Bafang Ultra motor can be made almost as good as a WW Archon X1. Do you really think Frey are wasting their resources? Look at what Pushkar was able to do with the controller he's promoting. Nobody was doing that with the Ultra. Luna tried but flamed out. Roshan up at Biktrix has a special sauce but his is different to. These are smart guys. Thinking outside the box is what got us here. I'll bet you in 5 years IGH, Carbon belts etc will be in the rear view.
I figure as long as I can still get an adrenaline rush on a nice downhill trail and not go over the bars to many times I'm good. But like most things in my life I want to push the envelope a bit.
