Thanks for all the replies guys, some really great vids! Voltron, what climb is that ride, 1500 feet? 8) Chucko, that's some neat riding in Madrid with the traffic, I was biting my nails
Not sure of the exact height gain...but I was going up fast enough my ears popped And that's after about 6 miles over foothills to get there, then I rode back to the beach and then part way up again...25 miles worth.
Edit...just looked it up... 2600' gain in 6.5 miles. And nice city driving Chucho... It made me want to put on the Matrix II freeway chase scene music.
Here's one from earlier this year. I took a ride in the middle of the night about 2 weeks ago and municipality, boat launch place, railway, or airport clearcut a 50ft swathe the whole way. Interesting and different, but not the same as this little 'jungle' path I had goin.
Prob going to get slammed as a hater, which I'm not.... but what a terrible example of picking somewhere to test. Riding in full battle gear with a giant antenna mounted camera on your head on an obvious walking area and swerving around groups of old people is the sort of thing that gets the wrong kind of attention focused on ebikes.
edit.. and I doubt contributing to the erosion on that hillside isn't going to win ebikers much community support either.
Thanks- nothing like breaking in a tight homemade trail as fast as you dare -
You too, drew, that looks like an awesome area you've found! Nice use of the flux, and 25a @40mph should be very economical on the battery. You could draw more without affecting speed. I'm curious what battery you went with?
They are getting better over time, so the best one's are at the bottom.
Enjoy!
