No one here can answer this question. However, Pole seems like a likely candidate to incorporate this tech sooner, rather than later. It's my opinion that it's certainly the future of e-bikes. Hopefully Pinion will make a mid power version that is considerably lighter in the next couple of...

Yah, mine doesn't click. It just whirs louder than before. Really I think it just broke in a bit loud.

Can you do a video listening to your girl's Relay and then yours? Same rider/ speed/ power setting/ gear/ terrain so that we can get a real good A to B comparison?

I received a call and was told that they are likely replacing my motor. Transition has approved it, and it's in Fazua's hands. My dealer told me that they replaced over 20 Pivot SL motors but that the problems are actually software related. Software that is written by the bike manufacturer...

Furthermore, the sort of power that FF's make really necessitates building up the entire bike heavier. So on a well planned build, the entire drivetrain is heavier and more robust. and frankly I'd prefer an Al (or even steel) frame for that application. But I see videos of other people's...

Your problem was almost certainly related to a poor battery connection. I've noticed that the way it clicks in sort of has levels, and if the plastic filler plates aren't exactly correct, the connection can be less than ideal. Did you decide on a replacement e-bike? Regarding my loud motor...

We all vary, riding style location, abilities, terrain, etc. I don't see the point of full fat e-bikes, they seem heavy, sloppy, and I especially don't get why they even have pedals. So you can provide 25% of the power at your absolute max? Really? My personal opinion is that mid power sub 45#...

So we have a local shop that is very familiar with the motor and he told me to swing it by and if noise was irregular he'd get a motor ordered. It's really a time issue for me.

To be clear, the motor is just a bit louder and works fine. It's no secret that there is variance in identical motors and the noises they produce. Great handing bike, actually a really good weight for my build, great range and power, killer geo , mullet capability while maintaining CS...

Good on you for getting it done. If you aren't aware, all e-bikes are 'projects' with multiple issues based on my reading and my own limited experiences. That weight however makes me glad I went with a mid-power as my 43# Relay feels heavy as heck!

Transition and Fazua consider my motor noise within the 'normal' level based on my video. I'm not super upset, nor surprised. I'll eventually get it in locally and looked at for a possible local warranty but it's not a huge deal. It's also not an 'in-cognito' motor system any longer as you...

Pretty sure if I had experienced this I would probably move to an Onyx hub as they are robust and reliable and e-bikes seem to have some play in the built in freehub in the motor so an Onyx would not add any additional slack.

Have you been able to successfully alter the wheel size?

Let's see if I did this correctly. I put my F60 settings back to standard and tested in Breeze mode so that we may compare easily. This was just pedaling on flat concrete so low strain. More strain (i.e. offroad and uphill) increases the noise considerably. It runs seemingly fine, it's just...

Looks good. Did you mount your rear tire on backwards for a particular reason?

One thing I learned when I rode MX a lot, is that arm pump is mostly a result of a shitty fork set up and/ or rigid handlebars.

So as I recall on my first handful of rides, the motor was VERY quiet. Every bit as quiet as the HP TQ in my limited personal experience. Now I'd put the noise closer to the old Mahle 1.1. It's pretty whiny and not incognito at all! Since you have 2 Relay's, I hope you can document and post a...

I just spoke with Transition and they told me they would like me to record the sound and send them a clip, so I intend to do that this evening. The good thing, is that I think it runs fine. At first I thought it was down on power but I honestly just think it's very hot here (so I'm weak) and...

Watts per kg is all that matters. For definite proof, take them on a real bike climb. But ya, big fellas commonly put down big watts. It isn't really impressive until they have 400+ watts, at 155#s.

Short CS's always climb great. Looping out isn't a thing, short of an ICE engine and the rearward weight distribution helps dramatically with climbing traction. The issue is that when going through turns you can find that with your weight biased too far back, results in a front tire that won't...
