"that" battery is still stable @41.3V (wut I charged it up 2}}}
*knock knock knocks da wood*
as per usual IMma jus gonna talk about some 'other' threads in this thread so here we go-
A note to any of you who has never ridden a dual-motored bike/trike.
You have no idea hw much better two motors are over one motor, even if that 'one' motor is superduperpowerfulsteriodamped.
(like my magic pie motors are supposed to be... and until I re-programmed them for -less- stuff, I suppose they are.)
Elsewhere in this thread I've talked about the advantages of dual motor/batteries, mainly as a redundancy for always being able to get home under power.
But now let's discuss the magicpony fairy dust that happens hwen you power up a hill with two
completely different motors
because: I just finished some tests on my return from the beach. I chose the least steep hill (starts at 8% grade increasing to 10% the last 200 feet)
from a dead stop on the last 200' (10% grade) I was riding MPPM enclosed trike.
It uses:
1- a mid-powered gear motor that drives the input of the rear differential @ 30V ---top speed 11 mph w/30A controller
2 -a front hub Ampedbikes (RIP) MXUS-built geared 250W hub motor mounted in a 16" rim @ 56V ---top speed 17 mph w/23A controller
Results:
using rear motor only- 5mph
using front motor only- 10mph (hello, massive torque)
using both motors- 15mph (lol WUT)
-this is because (not gonna explain, you figure it out) *****magic*****
no pictures as I was carrying my latest Nikon camera packed in its' case.
Speaking of Nikon 610
Using any mode other than 'normal' i.e continous modes, auto bracketing etc; uses 1280 x whatever resolution.
I might as well be shooting in 'movie' mode in loo of continuous modes because cropping a picture from 1280 results in a crap picture.
Plus I'm not convinced the camera isn't using sum digital magics to get it's so-called 60x 'optical' zoom
---sure doesn't look 'optical-only'

but, like any camera (or e-bike)... it has its' good points
