Default Re: learn as you go

Well test one of the new motor bike is disturbing. The motor went out at the same place two miles. Whether I ran it wide open throttle and just pedaled to keep the speed up or if I goosed it the mileage was pretty close to the same. Now I am running a 7ah battery pack so I expected it to be small but not that small.

Those batteries are charging now. I will put them on a bike with a controller and throttle next. It has a smaller wheel so that might make a difference it also has a smaller motor which might also make a difference. I will let you know what if any difference there is.

I also never expected the pedal assist to be the same as the w.o.t. test. That was the biggest surprise. Maybe the controller and smaller wheel and motor will make a difference.
