Apologies, I think I was fixated on assessing the weather proofing of the remaining components A cape could work, and it looks less "professional" than a proper cover and could attract less attention I guess. Cheers!

I don't drive so my options are very much limited on that front. The wiring is all waterproof connectors, the computer is removed and the hub is waterproof isn't it? So the only part to protect as I see it is the controller port as the controller/battery dock is waterproof when all put together. Unless there's a high instance and horror stories of these things failing in rain from bad construction?

So when parked up at my work I like to remove the battery and computer from the bike to make it less desirable to theives, but on days like today when it rains I have to try to protect my controller, how do you guys handle this? Image is of how I currently handle it. Cheers!

Thanks guys, I think that answers my question. I had no idea about the motor potentially drawing killowatts if rotating too slowly. Will certainly have to keep that in mind up hills. Good to know the motor isn't at risk. Cheers!

Hi guys, I'm new to electric bikes and after doing a moderate amount of research (only the tip of the ice berg it seems) I bought myself a Dillenger 250w road legal front wheel kit. To say I am happy with it is an understatement! The kit went on the bike without any issues and I was test riding within 30 minutes (no wire management etc) I am really surprised at how powerful the motor is and it can drag my 250lbs weight up some pretty harsh hills with minimal input at 10mph and on flats it outpaces my pedalling and levels out at 18mph mid battery level and 22mph at full charge. (It also happens to be unlimited out of the box) My query is this; because I was so surprised by the performance I did a little research and checked out the stats. As I see it, the battery is putting out 36V and the controller is 15A, so is it actually putting 540w through the motor when set to full assist/full throttle? I have checked the motor and controller temps after some big hill climbs and everything feels cool to the touch so I'm not massively concerned, but just wondered if I was wildly mistaken. Cheers! P.S. not sure why but my posts on here seem to be going missing so please excuse if I've posted this more than once.
