My bike was quite sluggish yesterday with a strong wind against me and half a battery.Miguello80 hat geschrieben: Sa 7. Jun 2025, 15:17Power (W) is A x V. As battery depletes, power goes down so with 1/2 battery bike will not have the same power as fully chargedbob2.0 hat geschrieben: Sa 7.

...
What are you guys doing in regards the de-rating settings, and is there much room to safely change these things?
I've been thinking about this again.
I don't know, I don't think that's right, about the voltage dropping.
The magnetic force from a coil is a function of the current, not the voltage.
The controller doesn't put the battery voltage on the motor (at least, not at lower speeds). It switches the battery voltage on and off into a bridge, until it delivers some level of phase current into the motor.
So, I don't see why the power drops off with voltage.
Am I missing something?
