    I could understand keeping the larger pack if it was going to allow a bigger capacity. If it remains the same it seems a missed opportunity. You’d think with in house manufacturing they would be able to respond quickly to new equipment releases.

    Unanswered How Does Shimano Know If You've Derestricted Your Bike?

    Of course they can, going up a hill, heavier rider, whatever. The point is the motor will not draw more than its design ratings with the speed restrictor disabled so cannot place more load on the battery. As @khorn explained, the battery will be consumed sooner as it is in use more on an...

    If the motors are under the same load (watts) at those speeds then yes.

    Unanswered How Does Shimano Know If You've Derestricted Your Bike?

    No it won’t. Unless the power rating of the motor is increased it cannot draw more current. Virtually all the motors are available in the US with a 20mph speed limit. A number are available as S-pedelec 28mph so they are more than capable along with the batteries, wiring & connectors. More...

    If you are finding melted wires and terminals the issue is not with a speed de-restrictor.......

    That’s a load of rubbish! De-restricting a motor doesn’t magically increase its output, all it does is remove the speed limiter. Same watts and same amp draw. If anything the motor is under less strain as you are sat spinning and there is more cooling air going around the motor & battery.

    If you haven’t been before I’d just hit the three main hills of the loop. I’m not the guide you need for the off piste trails. Sounds like @Rich the gasman is the fella for that. There is a good mix of trails, good fun.

    Two new Pivot Shuttles here

    So was the guy on a Pivot in Gary’s Shimano vid rocking one of these new ones? Not used to seeing a black Shuttle.

    If you are planning on doing one of the official loops head to the main car park. Meet up at either the cafe or the old bike hire spot has a couple of handy picnic tables outside which is often easier to meet at with bikes. Think I will be able to make it as kids plans changed??
