Mike, please can you link any articles which you have researched to come up with these conclusions, it would be useful for us to understand your deductions.
Sorry but high torque is not always beneficially aided by more amps, more how the motors total stator size and field windings are...
I wouldn't be so sure of that, car designers want to eek the most efficient gearbox with least energy losses to get best mpg. The Jap designs have great mpg and have CVT by using optimum rev ranges which a computer conrolled CVT allows. Complexity of computer control is todays norm of which the...
Guys as much as I admire this gearbox motor setup, it’s full of unnecessary gears. Gears are old school in the car world where in the lower powered cars CVT rules. Now we already have Harmonic Pin and planetary gears which can deal with the motor rpm, computer controlled CVT can deal with the...
Mmmm with the discussion over on the Pinion thread and the picture of the new Brose 60Nm motor one has to wonder, new SL on its way.

Interesting they have gone the heavyweight route of a conventional gearbox with lots of gears all intermeshing. Seems a missed opportunity of updated planetary gears and other CVT type gearing which would reduce the complexity and lower the weight significantly.
I suspect this is just...
Sure, always been impressed by the SL, nice bike. But the downside of the small battery and having to fit a water bottle battery ( add 1.5kgs ) to meet my lack of fitness demands over the 2 1/2 hour 700m routes I do, just didn’t quite over come the comfort of my 22.5 kg FF when fitted with its...
Impressed if they actually are sub 17kgs with all the usual trail paraphernalia attached.
From my usage, I seem to always for some reason use just more than the 320Wh battery that the Fazua has. I do a lot more climbing, circa 700 - 800m over a couple of hours on the EZesty, than when on the...
Sorry but 17.5kgs is probably unrealistic unless you want to go 2.1“ tyres single speed and 32mm front forks. Aim for a more realistic 19kgs with pedals, tyre sealant, a comfortable saddle, seat post you know all the things that manufacturers don’t fit before they weigh their bikes.
Yup my analogue has met the EBay cheap selling offer moment. But then I have an EZesty which you can remove the motor and battery, my analogue just wasn’t being used.
If you are going to go down the re-use the components route ( which I fully agree with ) then one of the number of DIY frames...
Don't knock second hand, there are more than a few with very low mileage bought during the lock downs that are now up for sale at very low money. You can often see Levos ( Specialised is about the only brand that will honour warranty claims with second ownership ) and less so Rails for that 3 -...
I have an aluminium mount FP G520A for the M600 if you want to experiment with it.
There are drawings out there though, the ones I have maybe good enough but sorry I don't have them as a CAD file.
Ben, I have one of the very original frames that doesn't have the lid opener, just screws. It probably has the least water ingress protection of all the versions. Despite that considering that I do ride throughout the British winter and often in standing water, how little water ingress I get...
Mmmm not sure then, my M600 on an E10 is as quite as a mouse downhill with the only really annoying noise being the Hope free hub.
Perhaps you have your chain too long and getting old fashioned chain slap ?
Thanks,
Doominac has a number of rides of varying difficulty I think as well but then he's a proper tart and will guide for the day all for the price of a beer. Thanks Doominac lol.
Yup the 9 levels setup on the 241 has a very slightly lower level 1 max watts than the same 241 set to 5 levels, level 1. I've never bothered to measure it but it is noticiable just.
As soon as you have a slightly higher max watts between the two settings, then you will notice that you are...
We did a fair few 1000 miles between us on the TSDZ2 engine and we set it to max 600W's, which is more than enough for long distance trail riding with about 700m or so climb giving really good battery life of about 2.5 hours on the 360Wh batteries we had. I wonder if 550W - 600W is more than...
