There was very little pedaling on that ride. I don't have my shifters set up yet, and starting off from the high gear stressed my idler and torqued it off it's bolt (popped the c clip right off too)! I've since tightened it down and I'll have shifters installed by the next ride.
To be fair too, my LIPO pack is probably pushing @ a higher C rate than your pings.
Hrmmm....only need one more battery to convert to an 18S3P system... wonder what that would do too my range vs the 12S4P I've got now.
