I have tried also without assistant to break my watt record.
I don't understand this. Same torque with higher rpm produces more watts. Of course it might be harder to get high torque from legs with higher cadence.
Back to the original question. What kind of max readings you guys have?
My energy consumption in normal rides is between 5 -15 wh/km.
wh = wh:s spent on a ride
km = total kilometers of a ride
I have not calculated consumption against time (wh/hour).
I understand that. And I agree. Still I'm not willing to take the risk because my LBS says that if you manipulate the speed limit in a way or another the warranty is gone.
If my carbon frame cracks I don't think it because manipulated speed limit. If I were the manufacturer I would probably...
If you mean these letters then I have. And I'm not arguing with you anyway.
We also automatically collect certain other information, including:
frequency of rides on your bicycle;
starting location and ending location of your rides;
power consumption during your rides;
error occurrences with...
I think spec guys are reading this and eating popcorn. :)
In the end this is not tech thing at all. If manufacturer don't allow derestriction and says it affects to warranty, it's end of discussion. Are we permitted to cheat if we know we can't get gaught?
EU limits are stupid. Maybe some day...
I am quite sure that if the speed limit is 35 km/h you will use more energy from battery per km than if the limit is 25 km/h. No need to argue ;)
And again, with all the data and analytics you can say if the bike has been redestricted. Maybe some short tests are invisible but in the long run...
I disagree about the wear. Of course motor and battery gets more load than before if derestriction (same rider). Not more peak power but more load time per km. And less time to cool down. I pedal very often over 25 km/h. And in rough terrain the whole bike gets more stress and wear if you ride...
If your lowest gear in the back is with 10 or 11 teeth, you can't do much more if you want more speed with same cadence. That's why I think it's easiest to get new bigger chainring to the front.
Personally I don't understand how you can run out of gears in flat terrain. Strong legs?
Durability is not calculated how much abuse bike can take at one shot. Parts has to handle the stress continuously. That's why even small weight increases in the bike have to keep in mind. As long as the parts only flex, that's good. But if the beyond the limit, that is not so good. If you want...
If you are arguing is it total weight or just bike weight that demands stronger parts. Here is simple example. Bike with no suspension. You drive over a rock and bike jumps. Because the bike has no suspension, bike weight affects directly the forces that the frame has to handle. Biker always...
You nailed it.
I think this solution is not so service free because the gap is in the outern ring, not in the axle. More possible that dirt and stuff gets in. And speed messurement is more agile and precise with 1.5 ratio.
Competition is always good for consumers.
R = ring teeth count
S = sun teeth count
P = planet teeth count
x1 = gear ratio when the sun on the rotor
x2 = gear ratio when the ring on the rotor
R = S+2P (actually we don't need P)
x1 = 1 + R/S
x2 = 1 + S/R
If R = 50 and S = 26, then
x1 = 2,92...
Yes, the math. Gear ratios can be calculated. No need to see it although that's why the demo is made. Those are two different solutions. That's why you can have two different gear ratios with same teeth counts.
