Bikes: A normal Norco 700C thing, my slow bike, that I use during the day in traffic. My first e-bike, with 2 50W goldenwheels hub motors, I call it my tractor. A different e-bike built 2008 winter, front/back suspension, 3 sets of chains. New/old set-up.

Hey Martin,
I really like the set-up. Nothing like having a rear suspension at high speed!
And the planetary gear takes care of that 10 to 1 problem. Great, efficient, light.
I also had that chainring on my e-bike at first but because I had to do the demultiplication through it, I actually had to had another chain and a freewheel atop the freewheel in order to pedal so I discarded it.
The use of chains and locking bearing does have it's drawback however. The Klonk-klonk noise when applying pedal power or accelerating with the motor requires a little smoothness on the throttle.
Seems like you're enjoying, have fun!
