Yes.

BTW, pretty sure that skummy stuff your motor came with is NOT PTFE white gear grease. It's sticky, with no resemblance to me of the slick, translucent "white" PTFE gear grease.

Not a typo. Worse, bad recollection. After 3 years of no problems I forgot the abbrev. Thanks, you're right Neath, and my brand was Tri-Flow. My light drip lube is also PTFE Tri-Flow. I amazoned, I believe...

The Lishui. I can change settings between eco, normal, and power. I wouldn't want to do it while moving, but it would take seconds, pulled over. Since I always stay within recharge range I have always luxuriated with "power". But when I rode with my wife and her non e bike the other day I could not easily pedal. I had to use part throttle most of the time to stay slowed down....

Thanks for your frank, thoughtful reply. I think I'll make do with the substitution of a twist grip throttle for my thumb throttle, and more use of the eco and normal settings. That might produce a better mix of pedaling and powering at cruise speeds on level ground. If I pedal now, at my "power" setting, I get a combination of full power acceleration, power off when I quit pedaling, and then a repeat when I resume. Do appreciate it vfr400...

On a mountain bike, with throtle, cadence PAS. Now looking for torque sensing PAS for it, without Cycle Analyst. Would like to set up with my laptop. Also own a home built minibike with 48 volt, 15 amp BLDC brushless motor. has a jackshaft, and a Nuvinci 171 Developer's kit auto trans (3.6 range), Geared for 20 mph. Lots of fun, and St. Louis city cops leave me alone. Both machines can tow the Bob trailer my wife got me for Xmas, so it is my main summer St. Louis transport. Wife will be getting Biktrix Stunner step thru soon, so we will be mobil even with only our Colorado diesel for for a 4 wheeled vehicle.

AWOL. this happened to me. You need to replace the white, dry lube with some good PFET gear grease on one side, and some PFET drip lube on the other. I did this after getting my new gears and have quite a few miles. Been almost 3 years. Look in the endless sphere forum and read what d8veh wrote. Need to skip around - he wrote a LOT.
