Yes Peter, you were right in that post you linked to.

 

I expect all that power change stuff will be abandoned with the coming election. Pity - if what was being talked about was passed, I could plug in my throttle again - not that I need it. Others might benefit from that though. To be fair, this 250 watt motor does alright. If I can ride around these hilly places without sweat, and I now can after the 'tweaking', using more powerful motors would only benefit me by increasing the safety margin for the mosfets in the controller. Might make them last better if they were more beefy.

I'm chuffed that with Guerney's help I got into the controller.

 

 

 

Weird that the SPEED app would not connect and this simple web page application does.

 

That entire OS is built around the browser. The programming cable is essentially a hacking device, so no profile.

 

 

I like the way it performs better now, having taken it for a fifteen mile ride up some pretty mean hills. This photo was taken at 833 feet asl. I climbed 656 feet up in 2 kilometres - a steep drag very easily in PAS level 2 with the settings I mentioned.

 

Even easier with 20" wheels. Would a full suspension MTB with 20" wheels fit in a car boot? If so, I'm wondering which steel framed full suspension MTB with disc brakes has it's BB situated high up enough for the reduction in wheel size to not cause problems for the cranks arms, pedals; vertical suspension travel distance is also a consideration.

 

Here's a happy looking dude with one on ES. Trials bike with a higher BB:

If it breaks down, simply throw it into a private hire taxi boot? No need for an XL conveyance.

 

Looks a bit long. 16" wheels?

I have a Brompton for carrying in the boot.

 

I am considering a conversion for that bike.
