    there seems to be a ton of reports from users saying that despite settings in the app the power cannot be reduced in any mode, i.e. ECO still feels too powerful no matter how you set it in the app, apparently DJI are working on a fix ? - have you heard/experienced anything ?, the EP801 for example is super tuneable via the app, you can set very low power and torque really notice the effort required and hence extra range

      The rated continuous output will still be 250W no matter what the peak output will be.
      Look at the specs.
      85Nm with 600w vs 105Nm vs 1000w
      You’ll get a short term Boost and exactly (250W nominal as divulged by DJI) power after SOME minutes.
      Use your brain to evaluate the manufacturer’s hot points.
      Can the current battery tech survive this high discharge rates?
      Nope.
      Buy an alcohol fuelled dragster if you are willing to compare.

    @rickmoz 3 дня назад +1

    Awesome as always Sam but I need some help / advice. Bought Albert ultra soft front in trail and soft gravity rear but the drag is horrendous it feels like there is a Bungie pulling me back. This is on my levo comng off stock setup tires on Roval Traverse HD 240. I expected weight to increase but not this drag. I’ve heard you need to increase tire pressures. Is this correct?

    • @SamsBikes
      @SamsBikes  3 дня назад +1

      Thanks Rick, sorry to hear that on the Albert’s I’m so used to Magic Marys so I don’t really notice drag. So you could try and go up 10% tire pressure and see how that feels. In theory the radial construction gives you 30% more contact area so you can go up tire pressure quite a bit maybe have a play around with it and see how it affects the drag

    • @rickmoz
      @rickmoz 3 дня назад

      @ I’ll give it a go with the pressure so if it helps. The weight going from the eliminator rear to the Albert gravity it did take me by surprise. Always ran schwalbe on my other bike but in trail casing so thing once worn I’ll be switching to trail from gravity

      @bearjewmtb4827 3 дня назад +1
