that seems pretty decent Bugnut, do you find the sport 1 or 2 sufficient enough for everything you can throw at it, I have only ridden a Bosch CX motor and in Boost mode, it climbed any hills I went up (i never took it out of boost anywhere due to my age and weight)AM1000, I do most of my riding in sport 1 or 2. I have been averaging about 30 miles per charge. Last charge I averaged 35 miles.
some more decent mileage on these motors, this gives me some confidence500W hub, 750WH battery, 35 - 40 fairly level trail miles using mostly PAS 2.
I have slowly reduced the amount of assist from the motor. I like to keep the bike at 25mph on pavement using mostly sport 1or2. In the trails 1 sport is enough. I live on Long Island and the terrain is mostly flat. If I come to a hill or steep incline I will boost up the assist. Since I got over trying to hit 40mph the battery lasts longer. Now I will only use 5 when I went to blow past the skinny tire guys.that seems pretty decent Bugnut, do you find the sport 1 or 2 sufficient enough for everything you can throw at it, I have only ridden a Bosch CX motor and in Boost mode, it climbed any hills I went up (i never took it out of boost anywhere due to my age and weight)
I think your right about the top-end speed, i was going to limit that to around 28mph on the PAS if that can be done and use the throttle when i need it, the main thing is getting out and enjoying as much time as possible. have you altered any settings or have you been happy with your original setup?I have slowly reduced the amount of assist from the motor.

wow, that's good going, it makes sense the more you ride it the more tweaks and human alterations become part of the riding, this will change from rider to rider, I am like you I will mainly be riding to work than long flat trails, I won't be jumping or going on downhill tracks.I have a Rize RxPro which is an Ultra based fatty (w/19.2ah battery). I'm an active 70, 6'2" and 315lbs - so you could say I'm one of the bigger e-bike riders. I've just recently gotten into the controller programming after 50-60 miles of riding as it came. I ride mostly Pas1 with occasional PAS2, and hybrid style, with about 50/50 road and trail (mostly very tame single track). Now at 120 miles, with lowered initial throttle setting, lowered torque sensor engagement and power, thinking 40 miles on a charge will be done reliably based on early results.
