pavers,
forgot about battery charge .
Yes, it appears ,
several times I only tested E+ for couple of miles using bearly one bar on indicator and everytime after that it charged for more than 2 hours. Last stage of charge is always balancing and if you ride 2 miles or 20 miles everytime charger goes through that lengtly stage. 30 Nickel cells in series in your hub is not 10 LiPolymer cells in series on your Lipo battery which you bought from EMS. Just imagine internal resistance of 30 cells comparing with just 10 cells. No wonder your E+ goes 3miles/hour faster.
It should go at lest 4miles/h faster by my estimate.
Unless there is some restriction built into software I would say my E+ would have no problem to maintain 50kilomters/hour continously with NO pedalling if powered with high quality , very low internal impedance Lithium Iron Phosphate cells /like A123 cells/ which are so much safer than LPolymer BTW.
but
pavers,
can you tell me about how your E+ behaves?
Especially jerks on applying throttle, jerks on regen breaking, any cogging/jerking/shuttering at higers speeds???
Thank you
