    Help needed if available please

    Set it to 1. If your indicated speed shows 60 mph when you're doing 10mph, change it to 6. If you have a direct drive motor, it'll be something else.

    Motor temp meaurement from Hall sensors?

    Internet theory, not borne out in practice, otherwise we'd be all pushing our bikes instead of riding. Like a lot of stuff, probably taken out of context or from some special case completely irrelevant to what we have. How much irrecoverable loss - 0.00001%? It's not quantified.

    It's a pedal assisted bike. If you don't pedal, you get half the distance..

    Motor temp meaurement from Hall sensors?

    It's not possible to say without objective test data; however, I can't ever remember someone complaining that their motor had gone weak after climbing a steep hill. Maybe if they lost 5% they wouldn't notice.

    Kalkhoff Tasman impulse 2.0

    I explained in a post above that there's signs of water ingress in the bottom right corner. The hall sensor connector is white and has about 6 pins. It's half hurried in the grey stuff. On the other end of the lead to it is a similar connector waving about in the air. Pull it out and check it...

    Motor temp meaurement from Hall sensors?

    The simulator doesn't take into account cooling affects when riding your bike. The data is based on extrapolated static tests. The overheat times are wildly underestimated. In real life, who has ever burnt a small hub-motor when going up long steep hills? I can't remember it ever happening in...

    Cassette wear?

    You can't wear out a cassette in 300 miles of normal riding, especially if you change gears. How many of those miles were done on the gears that were slipping. Maybe if you left in in top gear all the time and rode your bike only in deep sand, you might see some wear. Something isn't right with...

    Worrying Shimano Problem

    I found this on Google: E8000 Series - Shimano si.shimano.com › pdfs PDF The built-in battery of the cycle computer is charged only when the cycle computer screen is on. Power button. Page 24. 22. SHIMANO STEPS logo screen.

    Ebike muggings ??

    There was a story floating around years ago that they tried something like that when a bunch of chavs were hanging around near some shops making a nuisance of themselves. According to the story, they solved it by playing classical music instead.

    Ebike muggings ??

    A 25kg ebike with a 75+kg rider going at full speed isn't easy to stop if if they get a hand on it. Another thing that works very well at night time is a Chinese headlight. They're bright and dazzle, so they have no idea what's coming other than a bright light. It could be police for all they...

    You can leave the locknut off if you use Loctite on the main nut and do it up tight.

    Bbs02 programming question

    That reminds me of Based Amy when she went in to pop the Trump blimp at that anti-Trump rally in London. She said the same while she was live-streaming the event.

    Help! Failed kalkhoff

    That main wiring harness is non-standard. I've never seen one like that before. Here's where we are then. You can use a standard Chinese controller, but you will have to replace the control panel and the pedal sensor. You will then have to thread the new wires through your frame and do some...

    Help! Failed kalkhoff

    Only 2 wires on the battery connector means standard Chinese. Can you show all the other connectors on the wires that attach to the controller. It's the wires and connectors we need to see, not the label.
