Hi David
I don't know if you've been reading the forum postings recently on the 905SE?
As you will perhaps recall, I had an early 905e. I'm pleased to see on the 905SE that many of the points I mentioned to you (which no doubt you'd discovered yourself) have been addressed. I bought a German 905SE second hand in this country. Again, this is on the postings on the forum.
The SE is a vastly improved bike, I'd say. It's certainly a better ride in terms of handling and it's jumped up several notches on the quality scale. However, I am intrigued as to why the power delivery varies so much from the 905e. On the 905e, the pedelec assistance was smooth and not in any way jerky as it switched on and off. On the 905SE, the delivery is certainly not smooth... there's a noticeable kick in and out and the cutoff speed seems lower. Also, even when run derestricted, there is less oomph from the throttle than on the 905e. Has the controller been drastically modified?? If so, I would be interested in either buying a 905e controller from you or p/exing the one that's one my 905SE. Other SE owners on the forum say their bieks behave in the same way. In fact, Iw ould decsribe this as inferior to the 905E I used to have. It's a bit of a shame really, considering how the rest of the bike is so much better! It makes me want to use the motor and controller from an E and put it on the SE.... a bit ironic!
I'd be interested to know what you think of the above. Also, do the UK 905SE's behave in the same way???
Best regards
James
