It’s a high powered transistor, metal oxide one too! Lol They’re used for higher power stuff. Resistors and caps are the basics of electronics.
When I was first enquiring about the MD I asked about the 750w first. Leili advised me against the 2 battery set up with the 750w motor for some reason so I went with the 1000w pretty quickly after that and never asked any more.
it may have been an upgrade to the mosfets as a newer more up to date model of the ultra or something I’m thinking of too. I’ve read too much over the months to be sure. At first I was reading everything I could get my hands on. Looking forward to tinkering with the programming again once I do the conversation.

Yeah no matter what you call it, the Ultra 1000, G510, or M620 it is one motor. The controller sets the power limits and fortunately, it can be changed via the controller to be either a 750W or 1000W + motor with 160 Nm of torque. By all accounts it's a damn good motor but it makes a lot of really strange noises.
I test rode a RIESE & MULLER DELITE GX with ROHLOF E14 (2019 pre pandemic floor model) today and absolutely loved the very quiet Bosch Performance motor, the smooth shifting Rohloff E14 IGH (chain version) and the front and rear FOX suspension. My finger has been hovering over the place order button all day. The price difference between the MD 1000 and the R&M is ridiculous even with my serious finagling of the price. I may yet pull the trigger but it means parting with my Specialized Turbo Creo. The Creo is a nice unsuspended great handling well built road bike for younger people. After the test ride today the R&M is clearly a better ebike than the Creo for me.
Riding the M 1000 is fun and it is more powerful and faster than just about anything else I have ridden. But I can't shake the "this thing will die well before I'm ready for that to happen" feeling every time I ride it . OTOH, the R&M is great looking and rides like the expertly built, quality engineered product it is. Smooth, refined, quiet and fast enough is my take. It's like the MD1000 is a MIG-17 and the R&M is a LearJet 75.
Update: I pulled the trigger on the R&M Delite GX today. Quick ride to my office today confirmed all the good things I was expecting. The Rohloff E14 + chain is simply a great ebike drivetrain and the Delite GX bike is world class as it should be considering the price.
Wow, nice machine, 2 batteries, full suspension and for sure much lighter than the MD1000, with this one you can go wherever you want!
From what I've understood you do a lot of off-road, MDs can certainly take some but their weights still puts some limits .
As for me, I added so many accessories to the bike that I think I'm over 130lbs, 138 with my chain lock on it, so I can forget very demanding trails.
Mine will soon look like a café racer bike, i have a 4" headlight that i will install soon and i ordered a vintage handlebar, precisely cafe racer style with a 120mm rise, the current handlebar may be suitable for me for short trips but not for long ones, after a while my hands becomes so numbs that I'm no longer able to charge the gears!
Other than that, the only thing that I'm thinking to change is the fork, I still have the feeling that it will let down any day.
I ordered a suspension pump to fill it up, looks like there is not enough pressure on mine.
Do you have an RST fork ? And if so, with how much pressure you're riding at ?
On most forks you'll find indications on the pressure in relation of the weight but not in this one.
My fear is to blow my suspension, how do you know when you reached the maximum?
Other than that, do you or anyone else knows the exact length of the spooks?
My front and rear wheels are bouncing way to much, so either the problem comes from the spooks that need to be adjusted or it's maybe my Tanus liners badly installed.
