Should be a 10s4p or 40 5000mah cells

That would be some serious range available!

The problem I see with the range extender is it will only supplement the main battery therefore will discharge at the same rate so when the extender is depleted the main battery will be depleted as well. Adding a fresh range extender with a fully charged voltage of around 42 vdc to a depleted...

The Bosch motor does disconnect from the motor when pedaling with the motor off but uses a 2.5:1 gearing to connect the cranks with the chainring. Like every component, wear will take place when using it but I don't believe it will cause excessive wear on these gears. Might wear your legs and...

A shorter cable of the same gauge wire would have less resistance therefore produce less heat.

A simple way to determine if the battery has been drained to damaging level is to measure the voltage at the output socket. If the voltage is less than 32vdc then there could be damage to the battery.

No worries...You were on the right track and thinking just fine my friend.

I don't believe specialized is using 14s because the higher the voltage the higher rpm the motor will spin therefore you would have different power output from the motor when you changed from a 500Whr to a 700Whr battery. They are only providing higher capacity cells.

Rated capacity is usually calculated at nominal voltage and not maximum voltage. Specialized is most likely using 2170 4800-5000 mAh cells in a 10s4p arrangement. (700whr ÷ 36vdc) ÷ 4 cells in parallel = 4,861mah which is about what a LG 2170 5000mah cell will supply at 5amps. (20amp max...

Nope...3500mah is the current leader in capacity. It seems that the technology is out there to increase power density but nothing has hit the market yet. Tesla is expected to announce something soon...

Focus are using LG INR18650 MJ1 3500mah cells in their frame and TEC pack batteries. Amongst the highest capacity 18650 cells that can deliver 10A. To reach 450Whrs you would need an 18650 cell with 4200Mah and 10A capacity. 400Whrs would require 3700mah cells and really is not much of a gain...

Not when using the current internal battery case. Higher density 18650 batteries in the future might allow it... we'll see!

Really digging the raw aluminum!!! Paint chips a thing of the past....

I don't have all the measurements of the downtube but you would need to stuff in another 10 18650 cells and that would require a pretty good amount of space. The other determining factor is the mounting screw locations which determine where in the tube the cells will have to be located, unless...

Sorry to burst your bubbles guys but 2170 cells will not fit and until a higher capacity 18650 cell comes out 378 is the best you can do internally. This is something I researched heavily when looking to buy the Jam2 (and I am a battery pack builder from my Radio Control flying days).

Blevo does not in any way change the maximum power output of the motor nor does it change anything that Specialized hasn't allowed in their motor controller software with the exception of the wheel circumference parameter (and that is eliminated in the new software) which is used to determine...

The speed and distance displayed by Mission Control and on your bike computer differs due to the wheel circumference parameters set in each device. Both are using the RPM sensor multiplied by the distance traveled per revolution (wheel circumference as inputted during setup of the devices) to...

There is a 3" extension available that would fit the SX that might help. MAX Front Extender

Unfortunately recent life events have prevented me from getting out on it and it will probably be a while before I'm able to give it a go. The Mudhugger SX can be had for around 18Euro (15 quid) apiece so you really can't go wrong at that price. I say go for it.... Oh...and love the Jam2. I...

Why? I can see using gloss if I want it to be invisible but a toned down Matte Battleship Grey might look nice with a few glossy bits that don't get covered by the invisiframe kit. Has anyone tried it???
