Title: Dsr top speed in custom mode
Post by: alko on May 29, 2019, 05:40:40 AM
This might be old news, but it's new to me since I finally was able to connect to my bike via blue tooth.
I've always been under the impression that 102mph was the top speed and have also been limited to that personally, but when i went to custom settings, I was able to increase top speed to 110mph. First chance I got, I hit the freeway at 107mph and may have been able to go faster but battery was at 60%, and I was sitting straight up.
Sweet!👍

That's cool, I didn't know either.  I'll have to try it when mine comes it.

Weird that Sport mode is 102, but 110 is available.  Wonder if its for engine safety or something?

I like my custom settings better than sport mode. Not only faster, but torque seems to be stronger from a stop. I also have regen at 0%, but brake regen at 100%. I love the brake feel now. Brakes should last forever it seems. I'll never use sport mode again!🤗

Do you just have everything set at 100% except for regen at 0?

I use about 20% regen as when I coast down hill I feel no difference between that and 0% regen. So I might was well get at least a little charge.

I also keep my brake regen at 100%. 

I use Sport only down hill when I want to slow down a bit, to get a bit more regen than I have set on Custom.

Yes

Me too (regen set to 0 when the throttle is closed).   :)

Yes, same here.  I have no need for any other mode with these settings.

Can you notice any difference between 0 and 20%?  Even at 0% these Zeros don't coast very well and I notice no difference between coasting at  20%  and 0% regen.

I don't know what % regen is programmed in sport mode, but now that I'm at 0% in custom mode, it definately free-wheels faster, so I may set regen at 20% to see what difference it makes, and I'll let you know.

Sport mode has a lot more regen than 20%. My guess would be close to 50%.

If I am going fast enough downhill to get two bars of regen in sport, it will change to either one bar or no bars in my 20% custom regen.

Just experimented with it and I agree with Don tom.
Little to no noticeable difference between 0%-20% and didn't even show up on the regen scale. Sport showed one to 2 bars everytime I let off the throttle.
I hit 106mph today on this cool 60 degree morning.
