Part 4.
If the chain breaks on a hub bike, the motor can still drive and be activated by either PAS system (air pedaling), or
the throttle if you have one, and provided there is some battery capacity still, you simply ride home!
Plus complete hub bikes can be had for less than 1000 UK Pounds, including a second battery. I ride one of them since
2017.

Part 3.
If the chain breaks, you have to walk home unless you have a spare chain, the tools needed and lighting at night. Plus that you know how to repair it.
On hub bikes, the only stress is muscle that power goes through the chain, assuming that you are pedaling, otherwise no stress is applied to the chain. The chain wears even slower than a normal pedal bike chain does.

Part 2.
A spare repaired Bosch motor, without fitting, and not being new either, costs around 800 UK Pounds, and has been known to fail on the first rude occasionally....
Also, mid motor bikes have a single point of failure as all power, muscle and motor, go through the same drive chain and sprockets, so they all wear faster, and need to be replaced far more often than a hub bike.

Part 1.Be very wary of mid motor bikes, especially ones using Bosch parts, as Bosch never supplies spare parts, you must let them pr their service agent, do all repairs and servicing, which you pay for once the guarantee is gone. Its not cheap.
Part 2 follows shortly. restrictive number of characters, only 420!

Hi,
Here is a link to the code that I am using on the ebike.
Originally, I used a fixed value of 50V for the power calculation. This is now changed to reading the battery voltage from a voltage divider which is sampled from the display connector.
It might be best to replace the sample with a constant 50V for your testing.

Wisper 905se counterfeit brakes? Before I bought my bike I have seen on YouTube that wisper has Tektro brakes. The bike that I bought at the end of May this year, comes with brakes that don’t have name. They look like cheap brakes that still make noise after 350 miles. Today I discovered a recent post on YouTube that wisper has Tektro brakes!!! Is anyone else in the same boat with me with no name brakes please?

Hi Briggs, thanks for the tip!

I now have almost 5000 miles on my Giant Road -E bike. I am surprised that the charger box gets so hot when charging the 500w energypak. Is this normal? It is almost too hot to hold. I've never seen any smoke, etc. just heat. I usually get the energypak down to 5% or less on my rides, so the charger has to do a lot of work. Any thoughts?
