So David told me Mark, impressive results.

Was the fast motor you supplied AtoB 190rpm, or higher?

Could anyone hazard a guess at what sort of hill the higher RPM motor would be capable of tackling. I'm in Canterbury, so don't really have anything too severe but, it needs to be able to give reasonable assistance up relatively long, but gentle inclines.

Also Mark, by additional do you mean that the higher speed motor can't be bought as the sole motor for the bike?

Thanks

Matt

That has been my experience, the 190 rpm version will lose very little in terms of speed compared to the torq. I found almost identical times when going to work, 40 mins. Not sure about the legality as it will go 17mph assisted,

I can't see that as a problem Hal. Bikes that are governed only by the speed the battery nominal voltage drives them at can be much faster with a full battery.

The Quando does 17 mph withour pedalling on a full battery initially, and hot off the charger 18 mph can be seen on the flat. The same is true of the eZee Sprint, both governed only by voltage and tending to drop towards 15 mph as the battery empties, ending up at 14 mph when the battery is on it's last legs.
