Fun, This is my first time ever riding an electric bicycle. I'm 67 and live a little less than a mile from a bike rail trail, The Swamp Rabbit Trail.
After my heart attack there's a hill between my house and the trail I'd given up on. Just too much. I'd get off and push.
This year, I put the ebikeling kit on a 6ku Canvas Hybrid. Getting the fifteen or sixteen parameters setting up the s830 /controller for me took a few days to understand. The 5 levels can be thought of as speed. If you're in level 1 and max the throttle, all you're gonna get is level1, about 8mph.. Sounds simple right? Keep plugging at YouTube.
OK, on to the fun part. I decided to ride last weekend. It was pretty warm and if I just fooled around with the bike I wasn't going to get my exercise. So I went down to the trail. I'm using level 2 and that's topping out at about 15mph or so. Really I took it down some. There's a 20mph limit on the trail. No problems I'm just cruisin' enjoying the scenery.. Not winded or tired. Like power steering for the pedals.
The way back was the same. Easy Peasy. Then getting off the trail there's the hill. Fairly long, kinda steep. I used to try the lowest granny gear and even that would wear me out almost at the top, but not today. I'm taking it easy and although PAS 2 is working ok, thought I'd kick it up, 3, 4, 5! OK, now with the wind blowing against me and a steep hill, I'm making 15mph with no slowing down. Once I make the turn to the house, a flat piece I thought I'd see what it would do. 25Mph, but the bicycle wasn't in high gear either.
In short, very pleased with this 36v 500watt system, Oh by the way still at 100 percent after 10 miles.
