Hairy Posted January 8, 2021 Posted January 8, 2021 Seriously? Get a life man. We had the drinks after the ride, but I did not see that as an ending shot for the video and used it elsewhere. I can understand why DR is saying this. The advertorial showed the drinks being consumed mid ride ..... you could have had the drinks two weeks later at home without any intent of driving anywhere afterwards, but this the viewer's of the advertorial will never know.

Danger Dassie Posted January 8, 2021 Posted January 8, 2021 I dunno, don't really identify with the video but at the same time methinks you guys are making way too much out of it and projecting so much hubris and hyperbole.It's purely a personal edit and isn't a commercial production it wasn't punted as such.It's bland at worst, no more and no less.Cracking open a beer now, cheers... marko35s, Tankman and NGM 3

aquaratza Posted January 8, 2021 Posted January 8, 2021 A friend and I rode Jonkershoek yesterday on our Levos (mine's an alloy 2017 model, his is a 2020 S-Works). I've ridden there before on my nomal bike (Stumpy), but that was because I was riding with people on normal bikes (no point riding ebike if everyone else is on a normal bike imhpo/respect). It was huge fun climbing up the sides of the valley, but crazy how much upper body input was required to keep the bike going straight and keep the front wheel down. Turbo has the side effect of causing the rear wheel to slip a lot (power without control?). The steep sections of the terrain were super rocky/pebbly. I rode with 29" Lyne wheels (2.35" Maxxis on the rear) but I may try 27.5" / 3" fatties next time (which came with the bike). My friend and I didn't get to the top, maybe next week Average assistance of 150w, average human power input of 165w. Ended ride with 50% (on 500Wh) battery despite bourgeois riding.

Screenshot from 2021-01-08 11-05-17.png20210107_092647.jpg Interesting question. With the added weight of the bike (+- 10kg?) you would need to run higher tire pressures. This would be at the expense of grip. Is this an issue?

Not as chilled as those beers mid ride. Irony is my middle name. Especially when I slap on the . Imagine that, three of them! OMFG. Happy new year to you too.

This would be at the expense of grip. Is this an issue? Interesting question: I do more cross-country riding usually, so I run higher tyre pressures for reduced rolling resistance and better puncture headroom/tolerance. I do this for both my normal and ebike, which have the same wheels and tyres on them. So yes, in my case I was running high pressures which would have negatively impacted grip. I'll keep that in mind for next time and deflate them a bit, thanks! DR ◣◢ 1

Interesting data - I've always been curious as to how much actual/practical power the motor adds over the total ride distance. Thanks for that! Hairy 1

aquaratza Posted January 8, 2021 Posted January 8, 2021 (edited) Interesting data - I've always been curious as to how much actual/practical power the motor adds over the total ride distance. Thanks for that! I'm a data bug, I try and log everything, within feasible constraints. My ebike emits power meter data, but I suspect it under-reads by 10% or 15% - the reason I say this is because my Quarq XX1 power meter on my normal bike always reads higher numbers for similar rides and is very flattering compared to the ebike. I base the "motor assistance" number on the battery % at the end of a ride vs the start multiplied by the battery capacity. My bike's BMS does coulomb counting (as many do), so the battery % is accurate. I started the ride on 98% and finished on 49%, delta of 49%. Battery capacity is designed to be 504Wh, but is 498 Wh currently, so utilisation of 244 Wh. 244 / 1.6 hours of riding is an average of 152.5w. I have an outboard battery that I use for longer rides. Battery usage depends on how much you put in and also the mode you're in. 100% assistance (aka Turbo) tends to be very inefficient, so it chows the battery. 50% (aka Trail) tends to give a good compromise but is still slutty and 15% (my "Eco", most bikes use 30% for eco) is mostly enough to overcome the weight of the bike. Eco is great for a good workout and when you need it you can jump into the higher modes. Power data keeps you honest to yourself.
