Needs more jpeg

8 hours later it's now crispy. Jerboa on Android.

That's weird. When I open it in new tab it's full resolution

EDIT: Fixed (I think)

It is fixed, went from blurry mess to clear photo.

Well what the hell. Even if you refresh the page?

Ok just checked again and now I see better resolution…. I think this Memmy for lemmy app for iOS I am using is slow to actually refresh stuff

I've noticed this happens with jerboa. Should report an issue on GitHub maybe

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

There was something wrong with the link I used. I updated it and that seemed to solve the issue

How's the torque sensing on it? Does it start as soon as you apply force to the cranks from stop? While riding, does it apply motor power immediately after you increase your pedal force? Do you experience any variation in motor power when you pedal at a constant cadence and force?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I don't have anything to compare it to but overall I've been quite happy with it. There's some lag sure and on a steep hill you need to put in like half a crank for the motor to kick in. I guess those aren't really designed for low rpm anyway. I notice no variation in power while pedaling

Thanks. I'm considering integration of a Bafang torque sensor into my current build which is based on the same sensor tech as the one in yours.

Nice! What brand/model is this?

I just wiped out on my e-road bike going a bit too fast around a corner on a damp morning when roads were slick, and I feel like the speed I took the corner at would've resulted in the same thing on a motorcycle 😂

I look at bikes like yours here and I wonder how different does it feel from riding on a motorcycle? Magnitudes lighter of course. I've never ever driven a motorcycle, wouldn't mind a crotch rocket, got to ride on the back of a chopper a few times.

I wasn't much for helmets until I converted my road bike. I could even use an armored jacket or something lol

I don't personally have experience with motorcycles, but fatbike feels really different compared to mtb let alone roadbike. Need to really grab those handlebars. As an ebike it's fun as hell tho and climbs crazy hills on full assist even tho it's just 250W

I've seen favicons with more pixels
