Bosco bars are neat.
Not picking up the reference.
Also riding tomorrow. First time with the new chainring and bars. Original chainring would drop the chain at least once per ride. This luna cycles chainring is narrow/wide so it should be better
That’s young grant peterson smiling, darling.

Oh neat!!
Looks like the Deep Dream algorithm generated that paint job

Is this maybe the first ever custom carbon step through ebike frame?
45 miles on the conversion so far and the CA is showing about 35% of battery capacity left. Assuming similar consumption for the remaining charge, that’s about 70 miles of total range on a full battery. Max power and amps were previously unlimited and changed to 750W / 40A about 9 miles ago, so range could be greater on the next charge. It doesn’t accelerate as fast now, but also doesn’t chirp the front tire either.
Min battery voltage is set on the more conservative side (32V, recommended 30-32V range for this battery), so messing with that could add a few more miles as well.
I need to learn up on PID controller stuff to start messing with the max speed settings. After hitting the max speed, there are times when it the assist doesn’t kick back in until it drops to around 18.5 mph.
Are you sure the percebtage is right? I know with my bike it sits at 100% for most of the ride because it vharges to like 54v and doesbt hit 99% until it dips below 52.0v
It doesn’t show percentage, so I’m basing that on current pack voltage (36.5V) and the set min voltage and fully charged (42V).
Also it has a little battery icon made of pixels and there’s still 5 or 6 pixels of 16 pixels max. That’s probably just based on voltage too.
Aah gotcha. Yeah, my display is teh eggrider v2 and it reads 100% for most of my ride but the last bit it goes down to 65-85%. My 22 miles of hills get knocked out in 65-85 minutes. I have pedal assist set to 9 and really only put in effort for one really steep hill. Other than that it does all the work.
I love that a decade+ later Sol still types like its 2009
That’s awful and I’d love to try it.

Took at look at the regen screen on the CA this morning and it’s reporting that my range has been increased by 9.8% because of regen braking. That surprised me because I didn’t know it configured, or even when the regen kicks in. I can’t imagine the little bit of braking I’ve done has been enough to generate that much.
The CA is also reporting that my Wh/mile was 12.4 this morning, now 12.7 after this afternoon’s trip.

I think with a modern brushless drill this might work ok
modulo whether the chuck/bearings hold up to the sideways load of the chain
I’d guess it would die of heat before bearings became an issue.
I’d really like to see the rest of the bike and what’s being used for the “throttle”.
Yeah, I actually love the simplicity of it, but have no idea what he might be controlling it with !
