I am looking at getting the 2Seven 500 watt, probably running it at 350 watt most of the time for even more efficiency. I might regret it if I am hauling too much weight, but I have always been able to get around pushing weight even without a motor, so going conservative should fit in my range.
The DM02 500w 48v push me and trike @ total 245+ lbs, easily, using less than 200 watts, @ 30+ kph, It's a bit of a workout for me, but that is what I like about Torque sensing, I get a workout and greater range.
@@hisforhack Oh it calibrates automatically using less than the full 500 watts, and with you working out, it will on average use about 200 watts, unless of course you need to go up some monster hill, or some other big pull. I was thinking 500 watts all the time, but it only uses what it needs. Makes it even better. Of course if I get sick, I can override the torque sensing, and just let the motor do it all, but I am not going to give up the only gym I have, my bicycle, so I especially favor the torque sensing. I am thinking of putting the 42 tooth sprocket on it they have as a standard choice. I had considered a 34 tooth so I could ride home easier if my motor gave way, but with an 11-46 rear sprocket I could get home even if I had to walk up hills. A smaller front sprocket could take away from a lot of efficiency at higher speeds, and I might even want to consider their 48 tooth, but we have some pretty big hills where we live in Spokane WA USA. Thanks for the stats.
Great video. Thanks for doing this. Got a question for you. I really dislike motor noise so with my current motor ( bbs02 ) 95% of the time I never hear the motor. Last year I tried the Tongsheng and found the whinny motor noise was so unpleasant I sold it after 1 month. How would you compare the DM01 motor noise to the tongsheng? BTW - I have the bbs02 installed on my ti-fly X so the motor noise comparison would be similar since you are on a trike.
Great video, keep them coming, your presentation is very good. Lots of food for thought here. That Grim CA3 looks interesting, I'll explore that further. Hey, you must be up in the far right of the bell curve for fitness for your age?
if you do not need a throttle, the DM02 has more then enough power for my trike and my style of riding. In Canada the Max Legal power on a E-Bike/Trike is 500 watts, speed is 32km.
Really informative video.. Please can you tell me where you purchased the extension cables for the display and speed sensor,I have the same motor and intend to install on my Ice full fat. That's.
