    Good to know, I will persevere. Although I've been a utility and leisure cyclist since I first rode a bike (roundabout 5 or 6 I think)...

    Just found my original thread when I bought the kit. After much back and forth I ended up with a 48v 328rpm, so running it at 36v...

    That I can't remember, there was so much back and forth when I bought it. I originally bought it for a 26" wheeled recumbent. I do know...

    I've moved the throttle to the right which means the up/down buttons are now closer to the left grip. I can reach both easier now. 25...

    I went as recommended on the Grin site, their recommendation is to keep to one cross. In retrospect maybe they're more used to 26 inch...

    Yeh, checked that and it is as you say. I think the rather underwhelming performance is a mixture of wrong wheel size, 17A maximum...
