It needn't be, if he backs off to climb a modest hill at the same speed as before the efficiency will stay the same, because when the hill levels out both top speeds will be the same. This may not hold true if the PAS levels don't allow such fine control or if climbing near the motor's gradient...

If you were to ride the 48V version of your bike alongside the 36V version i.e. used the same way they'd have about the same efficiency and you wouldn't lose low speed performance, the controller and motor would act together like a 48 to 36 volt converter. It'll do what the 36V rig does about...

I can't think of a real need for a clamp meter at home and they aren't very accurate, HTH.

I'm seeing 'domain parked with GoDaddy' but downforeveryone tells me it's up. Defo favouritism at play here. You didn't mean a VPN's essential did you?

Conversion to another mid-motor (because of part linking)? Bosch may use just 1 or 2 mounting styles and maybe they're common to multiple brands to keep frame cost down. @Woosh toyed with the idea of producing a BB adapter (outcome?). If a Bafang wouldn't fit I'd switch to a rear hub. The...

Thanks @Chuns for sharing the journey, there's as much to learn in what to do or not do and when as there is in how to do it.

I'm sure Wisper will be along but a third party view may be helpful. Top quality batteries can last a decade but respectable middle range batteries manage about 4 years. It's easy to overlook but the user guide usually says to top up every few months when not in use - nine months is a bit of...

Sorry, typo. Is #3 to keep it dry or to make it look bigger ;)

Good parts individually but it's said that long term an Alfine hub won't stand up to the torque of a BBS02, not many hubs will. It's much discussed on the web and my Nexus Premium 8 died at 4k along with its second Impulse motor in effect costing 5p/mile. Mustn't grumble, the motor cost...

Is #3 to keep it dry or to make it look bigger?

Often-times you still get phone coverage in a lift, just sayin'.

Pedals are personal, bikes are often sold without. From your accessories I'd keep the mudguards and propstand, with my favourite stem, suspension seatpost and the rest transferred across. Hence wanting compatible mounts/inserts all over. Could customers have a tall stem fitted, a battery...

It's certainly a think twice investment but a massive plus not to have to accept an insurer's replacement. @Wisper Thanks for stepping up, I really hope you can reach some arrangement. <Blue sky> If only the brands claiming fire safety would offer to open source their BMS designs "to save...

Does £260 include delivery? The Yosepower.co.uk site isn't listing a 36V20Ah and the .com site says it can't deliver to my address near yours. Website glitch or favouritism? :) Ebay shows 3.5kg for 20Ah vs Yose 5kg for 17.4Ah, and for 20Ah 4.2kg, not wildly different if ebay's wrong and it...

If 'the Swytch' is a folding bike the 17.4Ah is NMC, the one RtJ linked to will be a lot lighter as well as from an established source.

This one looks good £11 delivered in a week, 4000 count & thermocouple: https://vi.aliexpress.com/item/1005006227356259.html

Try wiping the switch contacts with meths.

I thought I'd better check the above and... it's official: Charging to 80% makes this G310 hub motor 0.5mph slower on climbs: See the settings

Holes with plastic plugs or threaded inserts, are they costly to have fitted? E.g. for water bottle, second battery & cable, front light, HD rack, headstock rack, frame lock, torque arm. They'd turn a warranty-busting hack into an assembly step.

Any developments @Woosh? Has flecc's Very Sensible Rack won you over?
