There are stretches in my local riding area where I am in 7th gear, PAS 0, and I can't spin the pedals fast enough to propel the bike. Heaven forbid I might coast
The last quarter mile to my house is a steady up grade and by the time I reach the top I am at PAS 5 in first gear and I need a bit more power.
Normally I am pedaling along using PAS 0 or 1, occasionally going to 2 for steady inclines. I've been watching the discussions on true 750W motors, controller upgrades, and 52V battery upgrades. I may look into that for the future.
I'm not sure I am going to jump on this 3 speed crank but it does sound interesting.
BTW, I found a youtube video from Bolton Bikes entitled, "Tool Tuesday - Park Tool Crank Remover" where the presenter puts a new PAS on the left side of a Rover. Its a 1 piece sensor with the label "KT-V12L" on the case (L for Left). Bolton is out of stock on this item but I see similar sensors on Amazon. The one downside is that the connector is not the same as the rover so he had to install a new connector on the sensor.
This 1 piece PAS sensor looks a lot more rugged that the original unit.
