Just cap it off, plenty of folks don't even have a shift sensor

[AZguy]

Well I differ in opinion on the "hard on drivetrains"... I don't really thing they are all that hard at all if properly tuned and ridden (albeit...

[AZguy]

I have had excellent luck with sunrace all steel cog cassettes - they are very affordable too... the all steel cogs last a very long time too... I've...

Those bafang geared hub motors are usually pretty lousy at climbing steep stuff

If you want to charge faster while driving it sounds like you need a faster charger

[AZguy]

What they were discussing is charging while parked which is a very different animal than charging while driving. I don't think you want to use a generator...

In all reality most unpowered solid-state electronics don't begin to degrade until well past 100-125°C, electro-mechanical stuff may be more sensitive......

[AZguy]

I bet that weighs very little - a lot less than all the mechanics for trying to drive something from the mid drive and it's likely far more efficient...

If you have the on/off switch you can get by with the andersons - just don't plug the battery in with either connector while energized!

OP says "An angle gear will be used to convert the pedal/chain motion and drive axle to boat prop."

I still say just use a separate...

FWIW

On my own bike if I go 20+mph and don't put a lot of pedaling effort in, 20mi is going to take close to that 14Ah and you don't really...

I'd try that swapping the connectors to see what it follows

[AZguy]

There's no parameter in the "programming" that addresses this and while there's lots of good reasons to get a programming cable, there's no...

Well I wouldn't give up the notion of a separate motor either ;-}

I have a >250W motor sitting in front of me... it's ~28mm in diameter...

[AZguy]

The more I consider this... I'd just use a second motor - it will save so much grief and make things silly easy

A basic bare motor isn't...
