yeah, my motor is 750W (right under 1HP), top speed 28. it has a throttle so it’s class 2 electric, no license needed.
i really want to figure out how to change the max speed on the throttle to something lower so i can get better mileage and maybe go someplace a little further, but i’m not entirely sure how the math maths on that one (friction and air resistance y’know) and not have to buy an extra battery, but we’ll see
because i don’t want to have to pay that close attention to “am i going 12 mph” the whole damn way and the “cruise control” functions are a joke, just turning those on drains half the battery
Seems odd that CC itself would use much extra power: What’s your ride? My EP2 has CC and I have not noticed any impact on battery using it vs not using it. In fact, keeping CC at a lowish speed seems to prolong the battery life a bit on mine, even with no pedaling assuming all other things equal.

Why not just go easier on the throttle? Or drop it to a lower level you program to 12mph at the lowest or second lowest?
