That's a fantastic build!
How do you find it to ride?

After receiving the controllers, ASI (the controller supplier) informed them that they need to recall those controllers. Therefore, the shipment will be delayed. Also, they are working on a plan B, and more details will be announced later this month.

I test rode the older version and didn't think it was too bad, would have gone for that model, but happy to wait now I know there is the new version. Guessing they have changed the gear teeth in some way either materials or angles. Won't have it till February here in NZ.

Thank you. I got that news too a few days ago. All we can do is wait.

Is there an nz supplier for these motors?
luckyluke said:I have the Stealth and jump it. I am riding my bike similar to how I had it as a non ebike so not over powered, running Sport mode on my stealth at 400watts and Race at 750watts. Doing long climbs followed by downhill runs not much xcountry.
I find 200-300 watts enough for trail climbs, I get a workout and it gives better range. When I had sport mode set at 750 watts I used level 2 and 3 most of the time as 4 and 5 just took over and chewed the range. I find I don't really use the motor for the downhill. It helps when a bit of acceleration out of a slow berm is needed for the next jump but otherwise the downhill is the same.
Dropping the sport mode to 400 watts has also closed up the levels which makes it better so I can flick through from level 2-5 depending on the climb and not have big jumps in power. This would be good for xcountry as well, where I would use the higher settings to fly through the Twisties.
I have a 38 chainring and 11-36 cluster.
