The restriction is mandatory from the government. There is nothing they can do about having that in place. What they can control is not putting difficult to defeat antitamper on the motor and allowing it to be easily derestricted. I wont buy an ebike that cant be derestricted and hopefully this...
this is the first system that actually makes me want to upgrade my cx4 non smart ebike. one thing they need to do is not put heavy anti tamper software on it so it can be derestricted easily. imagine a 45 pound 800 watt derestricted emtb with all that power. they cant release it to north america...
update on the motor. electrically it totally recovered. but bearings were indeed damaged by water ingress i believe and motor developed a loud clicking within a couple rides. about 8 months out of warranty took it in and bosch sent out a replacement motor at no charge. lot better than paying to...
hmm yeah i guess its not for me then. i really just ride winch up and plunge down style trails so i want something to shuttle me up fast as possible with minimal effort. its a shame they dont have a firmware setting to allow that since they are so proud having the biggest torque number
can you set the motor to deliver high power at low cadence in the ludicrous mode? i want something that i can soft pedal and get boosted up the hill faster than my current bosch. can the dyname 4.0 be set to do that?
how has the reliability of the dyname 4.0 motors been?
are the batteries hot...
why did you go 29/29 instead of mullet?
btw i live right near verdi would love to check out those bikes sometime. my ebike is like an ol jalopy compared to those. but i may get one if i can ever find a nice used one
ok new update on the motor. after it started working again from the 550 code and not powering on I took it up the mountain to ride. when i got up there it powered on and then had a 500 code instead and would not run.
so i brought it back home and used the hair dryer for 48 hours straight. now...
BIG THANKS for your post saved my motor. So the first night I ran a fan in my cool garage and would not power on the next day. Saw you post about needing heat so I ran hair dryer for 15 hours on night 2 and it works again now. I thought it was done for sure.
2.5 year old motor 4k miles. Got lost and road through some snowy and wet trails. System shut off a couple times, then gave a 550 code. Wont turn on now. Battery is out and is fine charges normally. Have the fan blowing on my motor now going to give that a couple days.
Will my motor come back...
fine maybe 3kw is too much to expect on an emtb but something like this at 1.6kw i think would be the sort of drive unit i would like to see on a proper emtb. and an easily hot swapable battery so you can have 2 batteries and not need to weigh it down too much in the quest for range. these emtbs...
no i want an emtb with like 3 kW. i have a 72v surron with 15kw and its awesome but its still not an emtb, it weighs like 125 pounds. what i dont get is all the crap ebikes they are putting out have more power than these expensive emtbs that are good for actual mountain biking. i really think...
The whole emtb category is just so stagnant now imo. All the other ebikes categories are pushing the envelope of the technology and emtbs are stuck with these low power assist only drivetrains that also greatly limit the speed. Its really sort of sad because the other segments of ebikes just do...
yep 220s on mtb and ebikes are not worth it, i very much agree. 203s on my ebike and dh bike are perfect. i am only running 220s on my surron, that is something that needs it since its using mtb brakes for what is essentially a moto
Fork is bomber 58. Brake caliper is XT 8120. Using 203 to 220 shimano adaptor ESMMAF220PPL. The rotor is the 220 sram hs2.
The issue I am encountering is that the rotor does not sit quite deep enough into the caliper and there is a small lip of brake pad at the periphery which is not engaging...
i think im going to hold out for the 5000w cyc gen 3 and do a build on that the more i research. i kinda want the surron like experience but with less than half the weight. im sure the range at power will be pretty dismal but im suspecting i can ride it at low power if i want to do a decent...
cracking the speed limit is nothing, there are kinds of devices for that already. they need to crack the power, free these motors up so we can use them how we want. im not worried about the warranty, i just get a new motor if need be. but yeah it prolly wont happen so i guess i will just do a...
what might even be better is if someone could crack the firmware on these motors so we could set the tune higher, the motors are no doubt capable of pushing more watts. i am actually surprised we havent seen this yet, like how they crack the iphone software. that way you want range u leave it in...
