    NuVinci

    I have not had that problem have you tried recalibrating the gear shift. Is also worth downloading the NuVinchi software setup web page to your pc.

    NuVinci

    No harm in asking the question but I found the difference quite small to the point I wondered if the upgraded controller I got from EM3ev was in fact a 250W 15A controller. Using Sheldon browns gear calculator gives you a good idea of the effects of changing sprockets will be, I use shorter...
