    Hi, would it make sense to change the motor pinion from 9 to 11 teeth on a Panasonic driven bike?

    Flyer T8- finally got it!

    Hi, yesterday finally I got the Flyer T8. I made a first ride, only about 5km up the hill from the shop to my house. I have to get used to it. It makes me drive faster and push harder than I would like to do, so at the end I was as tired as I usually am with my normal bike going up that hill...
