Seems to have allot of drag when freewheeling and the power is on.
Shut the power off, and it freewheels pretty good.

It sounds like one of the brake levers may be activated and applying the regen. If this is the case, the throttle should be disabled so the motor cannot run.
Check that both brake levers are returning correctly to the fully released position, and if the drag is still present, try unplugging the brake lever wires and see if it makes any difference. If it does, plug them back in one at a time to locate the brake switch that is either stuck on or has the wires shorted together.

The regen setting will need to be adjusted to suit your riding preference. If you find it is too much you will have to reduce the "EBS Peak Phase Current (A)" (and vice versa).

The "Main Battery Current" and "Maximum Forward Speed (rpm)" settings may need to be reduced to comply with your legal ebike speed and power limits as per the instructions in my earlier post.

If you find that the throttle is a bit too responsive and jerky you can reduce the "Acceleration (%)" setting to make it much smoother.

Hi Alan,

It seems the drag that I feel is from the motor.
I checked the break levers like you said, and it made no change.
I did however tweak my breaks and it made a good difference.
took me about 20 mins each tire, but worth it!

I'm actually happy with the default settings, I'm going to leave it as it is.
But saying that, I may play with the acceleration settings a little.

Thanks!
Chris
