You seem knowledgeable... what makes Snapcycles controller on the S-1 have to be ghost peddled to achieve 28mph vs Jupiter Defiant being throttle only to 28mph?
Sold my Bafang 750 watt rear hub. That was an upgrade to a Speedrid 500w that gave me big problems. Working on a new RIDSTAR 1500w step through with 48v 20 amp battery . I have had it for a year working slowly. It is a big bike at 26” and fat tires. It is advertised to go up to 37mph+ but keep it in 7th gear at PAS 3. PAS 4 and 5 get scary for me. I have added a second battery (48v 17.5 HL) with a dual battery combiner giving me 48v at 37.5 amps which will get me anywhere in Hillsborough county here in Tampa. Also added a full twist throttle with voltmeter. Had to add a switch because the factory battery doesn’t have a on/off switch. Turn the key off and the meter stays on. Keeping the factory headlight and horn (weak for trails). Currently adding running lights, tail/brake lights and 12v cycle horn for riding the roads. All working from a 12v dc to dc converter. I’ll post photos when complete. Interesting is how I built a new controller box cover adding 3/4 inch width for the combiner and cables all from balsa, plywood and fiberglass resin. That comes from my RC hobbies. I will move this to a new thread for review and upgrades for the RIDSTAR 26” step through mountain bike. It is a Beast!
