The IG pic is confirmation of a new front brake with bigger disk and remote reservoir.
I can't see much else in the pic, despite messing with the levels to see if there's anything hidden in the dark areas.
Like kailua808, I'm into less is more for hard enduro, especially when it's wet and slippery. More power just means that when the rear wheel breaks free it goes sideways faster.
So:
Mode 1 - 20 hp, 70% regen for steep downhills
Mode 2 - 20 hp, 0% regen for slippery climbs and very tight...
My rear brake has a serious case of not holding pressure. The initial pull gets some pressure but that falls to nothing over a couple seconds.
So I'm thinking it's worn seals inside the master cylinder. How hard can it be to fix that, right?
Sadly Google is failing to find me a rebuild kit...
Ok, just the one:
And to keep this thread on track - the fifth factor that affects range is tyre pressure. Around here in the bush, it's stupidly slippery wet clay and roots so we run gummies and Tublis at 3 psi or lower. Tyre pressure that low defintely hurts range. Higher pressures will...
Three factors make a huge difference to range:
Terrain - mud hurts range, deep sand kills range
Hills - regen helps but not that much
Average speed - higher is worse, of course
So a flat gentle ride on hardpack is going to get you the best range. And I'll be over here flattening the battery in...
CATL have announced their next generation of Shenxing cells will do 12C, so that's five minutes.
BYD are claiming 10C for their next generation cells.
Even if those claims are bold, it's pretty clear that charging rates are improving very rapidly. A five minute charge in a couple of years is...
Sounds like a solid plan and I could be tempted by each of those bikes.
Most of the dirt I ride is such tight bush that the power and size of the Varg is overkill. I've a Light Bee but the build quality is trash. 30 kW and 80 kg and 3/4 size and reliable would be an excellent sweet spot.
A...
The key question for me is "what are they raising capital for"?
The Pack article on this raise says it's for working capital. However, Stark is profitable and growing revenue and margin, so they can cover working capital with debt at much lower cost than equity.
So this is most likely for new...
Sorry to hear that and sorry you got hurt.
The great advantage of electric bikes is that they're quiet. The great disadvantage of electric bikes is that they're quiet. With a gas bike you always know that it's running and therefore dangerous. And yes, the bike not being in neutral has caught me...
Yes, I know how public warning systems work.
It's a feature of the Stark because no other motorbike uses a phone for a dashboard so no other motorbike will get these warnings.
NZ Civil Defence sends out tsunami alerts to our phones when there's a tsunami risk. Like right now with the magnitude 8 quake off Kamchatka.
So of course my Stark picked it up and started reading it out automatically.
Given I ride at the coast pretty often, this could be a good thing. Even...
