No i get that it would be usefull, ofcourse. But i read your post “in fact it is neccesary to charge them at 7a” as in that it would be required to do so.
If i could get 80% in an hour, i could go over to friends 40 km away on turbo, charge while having coffee and cycle back, very nice to have.
If 7a is already based on 3 cells in parallel then yeah, you would need 6 in parallel (not practical) for 14a.
If you have 3 cells that each can charge at 1a and discharge at 5a, if you put them in parallel you can draw 15a max (each cell delivers 5a) and charge them with 3a max (each cell...
Well according to the TQ site there will also be a 45 km/h s-pedelec version, a very developing market. I'm sure a few extra nm will come in handy for that.
And the 120nm argument you use @EddieJ is exactly the same as anti ebike people use against all ebikes..
I just sold one of my motorcycles. An older Honda Blackbird (surprising i know). 164 (claimed) bhp. No electronic stability or anything. Not even abs. That bike had more power then anyone...
I would not want a rear hub gearsystem. I like being able to change wheels. An intergrated gearbox and motor sounds like the way forward to me. Oh and belt drives.
Another downside to deraileurs is this btw:
(Not mine, just saw it today on imgur)
I live in a country that has more bikes then people, people ride them every day, in all conditions, for many years. But hey if maintenance is not your thing i would advice you to never buy an eMTB, it will wear out even faster and you would be pouring money down the drain. Or you could just buy...
Do you trade in your car too when the ashtray is full? 700 miles... that is not a lot. As for the price, yeah they are expensive, motors battery's, r&d and a nice premium is where that goes too. Plus ebikes have a greater potential for warranty costs. If you want a great deal, buy lasts years bike.
Nice man! That short stem is indeed big but looks very cool, totaly fits your color scheme! How does it change the handling? More direct i presume? I thought you would like the dropper post, go ride some trails with it, it's awesome. Cool mods dude! And i've got a gold chain too man, they look...
The maximimum continuous power or the nomimal power is the power a motorsystem can put out indefinitely.
The maximum peak power is the maximum power a motorsystem can put out for short periods of time.
For instance:
A Bosch classic line motor has a nominal rating of 250 watts, a maximum power of...
My haibike has a easily removed internal downtube battery with a rail system to attach a range extender for a second battery. Giving 1000wh total maximum. It does not save any weight though. I'm still waiting on my range extender because the supply is very limited at the moment.
No you cannot calculate that, since you can increase torque delivered to the rear wheel by gearing. So you could have a motor that delivers 200 nm, but only at 10 rpm. That is also why just a nm figure does not tell us a great deal about actual performance.
