Hi all,
I have a Smart Pie V motor coupled with a Luna Shark 52V battery. For now I have the motor in a wheel truing stand for testing.
I had the motor installed on a bike briefly and found when I use the throttle, the motor goes from 0 to 1-2 mph with no ramp up. There's no gradation there at all, it's either off or jerks into rotation. Maybe it's not a huge effect but definitely noticeable down there on the end of the fork. Kind of a jerk forward when you activate the power.
If you feather the throttle in tiny increments you can perhaps get the motor to start up slowly but really it's just kind of fluctuating between no power and a steep ramp up to rolling. Is this normal for this motor? The other hub motors I've used didn't exhibit this type of abrupt on/off behavior.
Would the USB or Bluetooth programmer access be any use with this?
Thanks.
