Tbh just the one about overtaking people on road bikes. Yes they caught me back up when I stopped but it took them a fair while. Still it was fun. I made sure I said hi as I went past them.

Amongst other bikes, I also own an illegal (30 mph) mid drive bike, I have been cycling all my life and am now 70, here are some of my tips: ALWAYS drive in full turbo mode . ALWAYS overtake MAMILS at every opportunity. Smoke a pipe while passing them, ask politely if this is the right way to (wherever) whilst using your pipe to gesture and point. Thank them, then speed off ahead. Wear big boots and heavy tweeds, show your grey/balding head to all. Fuck ‘em, I’ve earned this.

To add to provisions: an electrolyte tablet (e.g. High Five Zero) makes a huge difference if you have sweat a lot.

Working on the chain with the bike powered on is a MASSIVE no-no if you have a mid drive bike, but this also counts for hub-drives. If you've got the thing running while you're down there, and you bump your pedals, that motor's coming to life and that bike could very easily trample you.

@FullFledged2010 3 года назад

1:33 No no an no! A charger needs to be connected for sometimes even a few days to balance the cells. I've had batteries that were so far out of balance that it took a full week to rebalance it. Also unplugging the charger the moment its done charging is a great way to actually get a unbalanced battery pack. A bms works by measuring the lowest and highest charged cells. then it puts a load on the high cells (with resistors and mosfets) until the voltage drops to the lowest cell's voltage. Then it charges everything back up again. This takes time (days and in some causes even weeks) and only works when the charger is plugged in.

@TheAviation101 3 года назад

This does not apply to every bike / battery pack. I have a smart bluetooth BMS in my bike, it can balance even off charge. You can get over 4x lifespan by only charging the battery to 80% instead of 100% Note: I have a big 1450Wh 112 cell 35E battery so 80% charge will give me plenty of range

@TheAviation101 3 года назад

Leaving your battery at 4.2v per cell for days will severely degrade its lifespan. If you have a cheapo BMS, then do ensure it's balanced but only do that occasionally by charging to 100% and use the bike as soon as its done balancing

@FullFledged2010 3 года назад

@@TheAviation101 If you can balance off charge then yes go for it. But with most batterypacks (that dont show individual cell levels) you're taking a big gamble as you can brick your pack by getting it to far out of balance. I've seen it happen many times... And those 4 times the lifespan is bullshit. If that were true every bms would cut off on 80%. And its not charging that kills the battery but heavy discharge and heating cycles.

@TheAviation101 3 года назад

@@FullFledged2010 It's true, look it up Hundreds of research papers on the subject. This is why many electric cars you see have good range, even over time as the battery degrades. The way it works is when you buy it brand new, they only charge to 80% and discharge to 20%. As the battery degrades, the firmware allows the battery to charge higher and discharge lower. Eventually, it will allow the battery to charge to 100% and discharge to 0% (~2.8v per cell in some cases) Reason it's not done on ebikes is because the batteries are small and people need the range. For custom built ebikes like mine, you can buy special chargers which have a toggle switch to go between 80, 90 and 100% charging.

@TheAviation101 3 года назад

iOS and android phones have now incorporated smart charging. If you have a modern device and look in settings, you might find an option to enable smart charging. What this does is learns from your sleep pattern what time you wake up and modifies the charging routine accordingly. It will keep the battery at around 80% / 90% charge and charge the last 10% / 20% about 1 hour before you wake up. This is because having the battery at its full charge for long without discharging it will affect its lifespan

@johnnyboy1586 Год назад

You should never let your chain get to the point where you have to change the cassette and chain ring as well . The secret is to just every now and then check chain for stretch and when the chain just gets to the point we're the 1mm indicator on tool for testing stretch falls in between link just fit a new chain,this will stop the chain from riding up out of the gullet and wearing the top of the teeth causing more wear. You can follow this process for about four chains before you even need to replace the ring and cassette, and it will save you 100s of $$$$

@martindavies8326 3 года назад

Depending on your charger, you might be able to leave it plugged in indefinitely. Mine is 54.6V which will charge my 48V battery a little beyond the 53.0 max over time so you cannot leave it on that charger. I do, however, leave it plugged into my electronic CV/CC buck converter that I have set for a slightly lower voltage. But, another one of this reviewer's points was never to store a lithium battery at 100% for an extended period of time (and he's right), so when I said "indefinitely" I really just meant hours or days.

Never leave it discharged, never store it fully charged 60-80% is spot on and the timer is exactly what I'll be using. Only thing I would add is in the winter let the battery warm up in the house before you charge it and if you can charge it for 30- mins or so before you got out a warm battery is better.

For battery storage it's actually better to keep the battery between 20 and 80%, so to charge it at 100% and then let it sit is actually not good for it as well

Exactly, as said in the video.
