Thanks for watching and commenting! In person it looks dead center of a 90 degree angle. Gopro's are terrible with hills, they never look as big as they are, ha ha...
Any freedate ebike machanics around the Boston area? Look and sounds all good but to deal with them though emails and sending wrong parts . Fixed the code readings now I DONT HAVE PEDDLE ASSIST , just electric power?
I think cadence sensors and torque sensors should both come on bikes. I think they could blend both of them electronically for a better experience. I think all parameters should be programmable and those sensors should be available for single use of either one too.
@@pinkfloydhomer One of those cadence sensors that allocates power levels instead of speed might help conserve energy but maybe torque sensors can have various power levels that could be programmed with a range of power levels. I know nothing of them so I could be wrong. I've seen a bike or two that have both sensors as stock parts on their bikes. They come with both so maybe there's some merit to what I've said. I don't know much about cadence sensors either except that some are way better than others. I've never owned an ebike.
@@donolinger6904 torque sensors are much better at providing the right level of power and thus save power when it can be done. A cadence sensor knows nothing other than your cadence rpm of pedals or gearing, it will provide power by a very simplistic model, also it will take some time to react and often go from zero power to a lot in one jerk. A torque sensor will feel the pedal torque from the feet and pedals immediately, this automatically includes gearing, rider leg power, steepness, headwinds etc, and it can then scale up the leg power by some factor or curve. It feels a lot more natural, like riding a normal bike but your legs are magically much more powerful, like you were 25 years old and had trained to have world class legs.
@@pinkfloydhomer The cadence sensor on the bike I'd like to have is programmable. You can change the parameters to choose the power you want to expend. You can set when it kicks in and it's limits at the upper end too. It's possible to pedal way above the set speed of a normal cadence sensor with the one on the bike I want. Power is set and limited but speed is not.. That's way better than a normal one and it saves lots of power too. I definitely want pedal resistance most times and I can have it or not above 40 mph. I can supposedly skip pedaling and just throttle to those speeds too. Heavier people had trouble breaking 40 without pedaling . You don't have to admit it's true but I believe the reviewers that say it is.
@@donolinger6904 everything you describe is possible with a torque sensor as well. And your cadence sensor needs some time and rotations of the pedal arms before it reacts.
Not a 45 degree incline. 45% maybe(22.5 degree). Federal roads are maximum 8% (3.6 degrees)

What is the use of a cadence sensor if you have a torque sensor? None

Link doesnt show bike cost....
Are you ready to part with an arm or a leg?
$1,800.
Around $1500.
Has it a thru axle on front? Should be a requirement for all ebikes, much safer.
