    CYC PHOTON

    Yeah we setup C-band correction in the very early days (mid-90's) and did our own high precision L-band a bit later... the typical SBAS system doesn't cost much to setup and operate so it's a bit surprising that OZ/NZ has been dragging it's feet I agree - for me speed on a display just isn't...

    Newer GNSS, even consumer units, pretty much all utilize Satellite-based augmentation systems (SBAS), e.g. WAAS in north america, that cover most of the land areas in the northern hemisphere... WAAS is specified to bring accuracy to <3m but typically brings a consumer GNSS to <1m But that's...

    FWIW Garmin has GPS's that connect to wireless wheel sensors and use long baseline GNSS to calibrate the wheel sensor so best of everything, very accurate, and can log that along with all the other fun stuff. Mine also has a wireless pedal cadence sensor, temperature sensor and heart rate...

    One of the challenges shipping into china these days is that if American part suppliers find out you are shipping a product with their parts to china, especially to some blacklisted companies, they'll stop selling you parts.... don't ask how I know... very painful...

    CYC PHOTON

    I've got most all that but it takes a two units - batt-man for the electric stuff, garmin for the rest... Makes the motor "display" redundant and rather pointless except for the buttons to change PAS.. I'd be entirely happy with just buttons and my two other "displays"...

    CYC PHOTON

    Since I don't really use 8 and 9 for the most part and 0 is pretty much nothing it's like I have six levels that get used... when riding with friends on their pedal bikes I just set it in 0 and will blip throttle for crossing streets or taking of from a start - I have one leg so starting off...

    CYC PHOTON

    I really don't like a linear progression - I've set mine geometrically (i.e. exponential) where every step is 1.4x the previous and every two steps double the power: I do use 1 and 2 a fair bit more than most might think but spend most time in 3-5... strong headwinds or slopes gets me at 6 &...

    CYC PHOTON

    With my present bike the BBSHD fits the bill nicely - chain line is excellent and I don't care for torque sensing, much prefer cadence sense for PAS if the controller is setup well... it is very quiet, heck the hub freewheel is far louder.. it's handled the heat out here very well.. But I keep...

    Thermal limiting might be a challenge out here in the desert - we routinely ride when the air temperature alone is >45°C (even ridden 50+°C) let alone the heat from the sun beating down... I've come out from lunch with the bike parked in the sun and the motor's too hot to touch... before it's...

    CYC PHOTON

    I resemble that remark Definitely in the camp that firstly, different setups for different riders' "missions" - some folks just want to throttle along on the roads, others want mellow assist on MTB single track and everything in between are not just shades of gray but technicolor... and for my...

    CYC PHOTON

    Why are euro's so obsessed with what they think americans like? Throttle gives instantaneous and precise control of the assist which I prefer (can't speak for americans or anyone else for that matter)

    CYC PHOTON

    Maybe for some - not for me I ride in serious off-road and still vastly prefer cadence sensing with a throttle for the precise control over torque sensing... but then again I just don't like torque sensing... Different strokes As long as I can take the torque sensing out of the picture, have...

    CYC PHOTON

    Personally I'm interested But agree it's a tough sell at the rumored price of $1200... but that's just unsubstantiated rumor at this point so not taking that as any sort of gospel I'd need to understand a few things aside from cost too before jumping on board... how configurable it is near top...

    CYC PHOTON

    I'm not buying most of these narrow minded views One thing I've found is that folks that come from exclusively bicycling backgrounds, especially MTB, tend to prefer torque sensing and those form moto backgrounds tend to prefer cadence sensing - but that's really just a gross generalization, not...

    CYC PHOTON

    I don't understand people who don't get that people's usage and preferences can be different than their own narrow view I've tried both - torque sensing doesn't work well for me but then again I've got a severe physical disability so what applies to me is different than what applies to other...

    CYC PHOTON

    People use their bikes many, many different ways and have just as diverse preferences in their equipment Just because one "likes to pedal" doesn't mean they prefer a torque sensing bike - I pedal 100% and I pedal hard... have ridden torque sensing bikes and can't stand them, vastly prefer...

    I was thinking the same - the display typically measures voltage directly from the battery

    Sur-Ron - New Mid drive Bike

    True that! I've long said that most anyone that's given the fat tires an honest chance never want to go back... for some reason a lot of guys coming from MTB's won't even give them a chance, very prejudiced... I guess folks just don't like change I just don't find any downsides... they are a...

    A fat-tire sur-ron would be sweet for AZ sugar sand and deep gravel washes... not so sure I'd like to give up much travel but it does bring a bit of saliva thinking about it

    Appreciated - what do you mean that by 52V controller with 48Vbattery? Does it also work with 52V? TIA

    [(Resolved)] Battery Problem

    Perhaps I should have said "most meters the users on this forum use have an unfused 10A range input I would bet most folks on this forum that aren't doing electronics professionally and have a meter with a 10A input, the input won't be fused... nature of the beast with cheap meters And while I...

    Most meters have an unfused 10A range input in addition to a fused lower range input

    BattMeter - just another wattmeter

    I've been running a similar product to the CA and find it silly valuable for the Ah/Wh totalizers and calibrated (I calibrated it!) voltmeter/ammeter/wattmeter - gives the full status of the battery at a glance!
