Golden Motor Magic Pie review

[GoldenMotor]

To make things funnier, the hanging rack is called Magic Rack.
LOL

And FYI:

Green 2-pin = Cruise Control
Blue 2-pin = Brakes
Red 2-pin = LED lights, front and rear.
Yellow 2-pin = Throttle LEDs
Black 3-pin = Throttle
Whilte 3-pin = Pedelec

This is the new wiring solution. Very simple indeed. In case you don't know what it's for, just make sure the colours match when they connect together.

Voltage: 48v (54.6v fully charged)
Top speed: 50 km/h
Range: 55 km (average of 35 km/h to 40 km/h)

Did you actually measure that distance travelled on a charge or is that just estimated ?
Is it a 20ah battery ? I assume it is to get that kind of range.

I took the wheel and innertube off and replaced it with my own

Yours came with a tube and tyre ? Mine didn't, sounds like my kit was missing all sorts of stuff!

Everyone needs to get their hands on a magic rack 

I worked out the wiring colour code myself with trial and error, trying to get the regen to work off the button on the throttle. Take note kids, connecting the cruise to the throttle button will result in your bike plowing through your garage wall.

about the range it was a 12 ah 48v battery and I did pedal with it. im going to test it without pedaling today if you don't mind.

I also worked out the colour code myself and got 2 flashes as the cruise wires touched eachother.

The tube and tyres were not part of the kit. However tom sent it to him anyway.

You are missing a LOT of important data, so your stats don't mean much.

1. What is the verified laden weight (both bike and rider)?
2. How was the acceleration tests performed, and WHO helped you 'time' the runs?
3. Hill climbs MUST include accurate slope measurements - including both angle and distance.

1. Bike + Rider = 80 kg
2. We used a stopwatch(we my mom and I)
3. srry about that there're no hills known here in the neighbourhood.

[Hardcore]

Pdf,
I'm inclined to agree with you. (No pun intended)

Whichever way you interpret Kevin's description, that hill does seem to be rather steep!

3 meters higher and the hill was 4.2 meters long

the hill was steep! I don't know how steep but you'll not find a steeper hill here.

[ccbreder]

That is not a hill on any road I can picture. That is a loading ramp.

[Hardcore]

haha lol it isn't even a road.

It would be nice to have a challenge between standard GM motor vs Magic Pie, using same bike setup (same bike + same battery) 500W; 750W; 1000W and compare the results

[Hyena]

I have a bike with a front GM 500w hub and now a rear Magic Pie so I could mount them both on the one bike to test. COULD, but at the moment I don't have the time to do so. What I will do later though is make a video of a race between 2 bikes using the same battery pack and the same rider.

[Leslie]

That acceleration is awesome, this is what I was waiting for with the larger diameter hub.  Fast take offs is this BLCD hubs grace IMO, especially being gearless.

I always thought gears can be usless weight if they can be replaced by poles. top speed and efficiency is then up to the design of good electronics.

Nice to see you attend these board Yao.  You do have some very good forum members.  The Pie is starting show some good qualities.  Congrats on the new product.

[GoldenMotor]

Oh right you're the ES member as well. lol.
I do come online to my forums from time to time. but I tend to run away when it gets technical, but luckily there's BikeMad to help me out.

[Hyena]

I think most people here would also be on the endless sphere forums as well. It's a great resource with alot of very knowledgeable members if you have more than a passing interest in all things ebike related.

I've been a GM member and a golden motor fanboi longer than I have been at ES. Yes I am a happy ES member too.  GM forums and members are awesome and I am guessing better with the staff.

Cheers.
