Default Re: Deacon's Bike

the new heaver amperage motor came in. I was some better but still wasn't much. If i took it off the controller it got abou 20% more drive power. I guess the controller spreads out the energy from the batteries. On a scooter without pedals that would be good, on a bike that kind of thing isn't much good. Now it might be on one of the hub motors, but on a pure assist motor it doesn't help it actually hinders the performance of the bike.

Anyway that's my take on it.

I have a gear for the weedwacker coming in the next couple of days. I think I'm going to give that engine a shot at the drive wheel I have already made.

Someone who knows tell me if I can kill the engine by throwing in full choke. I hate to hook up the kill switch until I have to.
