    Splicing in an identical battery with only power wires (+ve & -ve), no BMS connection. Thoughts?

    It's gonna be LIT! At least use a balancer. Example, not a recommendation or endorsement: https://www.electrifybike.com/collections/battery-accessories/products/copy-of-dual-battery-module-24-72v-40a

    NuVinci hub slipping and making grinding noise.

    Well, that is for the reference Kopp design, which the Enviolo is a variation on that. Also in the article: "In general because of the way the CVT is set up, it is more efficient at a 1:1 ratio compared to maximum overdrive or underdrive positions. Independent test results have shown that at...

    NuVinci hub slipping and making grinding noise.

    OMG, he moved the camera so much I thought I was gonna barf. didn't get past 2 minute mark. The fluid might be "proprietary" and the only source is them, but that does not mean they won't sell you some. Curious how that runs or does not run afoul of Moss-Magneson. Act Unless the hub has to be...

    NuVinci hub slipping and making grinding noise.

    Is it repairable? Or is it a "Ship to Enviolo" kinda thing?

    Solid state batteries?

    Kinda. Two of those in series (7s for the discharge rate) would be 24Ahr and 968Whrs, and 4.6Kg. Compared to a 20Ahr 52v battery with 1040Whrs and 6Kg. At almost double the cost for 1.4Kg, or about 3lbs savings.. not sure it is worth it. Now the 30Ahr model, at 6Kg or ~13lbs assuming 2 in...

    Solid state batteries?

    So I came across a company selling a power station based on solid state batteries: https://yoshinopower.com/products/b660-solid-state-portable-power-station That is 602Wh per their claim. The packs are 16.2v, so 3 would be a 48v battery, and 4 would be 72v. Which means 12.5Ahr for 699... of...

    CYC PHOTON

    From the Fine Manual, page 12: Pedal Assist Sensor Enable or disable pedal assist. Torque Sensor Sensitivity This value pertains to activating pedal assist when itʼs completely off.

    CYC PHOTON

    Not so many hills here in MO, but in Sacramento I often had to abandon a climb because I "Slicked out", not enough cooling to remove the sweat and it formed that solid layer on my face and neck. Really, really unpleasant.

    CYC PHOTON

    So... new here. Put a Photon on the Black Mountain MCD I had had for a few years. So far no issues. The motor is silent up to about 500w, then you can hear a faint whine as it kicks in. Has about 30 miles of break-in on it. Coming from a medically required stop on riding 2 years ago, I am...
