When I first had the bike, my high value after charging was 79.8, but after a short start it would generally drop to about 78 and stay awhile at 1st...Even when I had the failing cell, the spyglass would say the voltage was at 77, but trying to push further would show huge drops in power.  I did mostly always leave things plugged in overnight after the couple of anxious days.
    There is a lot about the complete BMS operation that I wish I knew more about, but I was under the impression that it controlled at the 2nd phase until all the batteries were balanced, which on any given day assuming your riding hard might take a little longer one day than another.  I also found that once the charger was green that I didn't seem to have any more power drawn from the meter ( I have my own separate meter with plug in the parking lot).
  Perhaps one of the more experienced guys could chime in, but Im not sure what type of operational behavior is being used by EMS's BMS.

I think I suffer under a continuous Murphy's Law..The motorcycle shop hasn't even attempted to unpack the crate.  Yesterday they said absolutely today, Earlier in the afternoon, they said "Oh we got swamped by incoming bikes ,maybe late afternoon or tomorrow, but basically said we will call you.  And of course they close on Sundays and Mondays. I hate not having a garage...

Guity,

I am glad to hear your OK.   Thank God for helmet laws.  Flesh and bone can not be fixed as easily as metal, plastic, and fiberglass.   


Live throttle issues-

Any one have any suggestion on how to deal with this EV motorcycle issue.   In NEDRA we have to have a lanyard strap like on Jet skies.

I think a lanyard strap would be the simplest approach on an Electric bike.  A more complex solution would be a crash circuit that would monitor the xy axis and crash and trigger if the tilt is greater than can be accomplished in a normal ride.  A few of the more advanced alarm systems use a key traansmitter that detects if the rider is on the bike.  Personally I would think it would be cool to not have a key and just walk up to the bike and ride if you are the owner with no visible key.

Sorry to hear about that... Not sure if you could take comfort in knowing that you are not the 1st GPR-S rider involved in an accident.  Having grown up in California, I can sympathise with splitting lanes in heavy traffic, but its not something I ever wanted to do..

Are you spreadsheeting the stats?  I had originally started to log as much data as I could over time.  Sadly, my AC info doesn't display the same data as the cycle analyst.  Once I get the bike back, I will continue logging as much data as I can.

Hi, wanted to add my interest to this board. I already mostly post on the elmoto forum.  I am an owner/rider of a 72 volt AC GPR-S.
