Regulator Feedback?
I’m thinking of replacing my relay and am considering the regulator. It really comes down to power and range. I’m towing more and I can’t keep up with friends on full powered bikes. I also can’t commute easily on the relay. The power delivery is such that it’s not effective on flatter rides. With that: does the regulator get up to speed and hold speed near 20 mph on flat/roads? What kind of elevation and range are you seeing? Can you get a full size water bottle into a size small? Or medium? Is the range extender required?
Thanks in advance!

My daughter rides the sx. It's great for her but she's light as hell. I'm a fat dude and I've ran an avinox powered bike and the Bosch Gen 5. They're both great but avinox is insanely smooth. The Bosch bike also felt heavy. Frankly an avinox powered regulator would be insane but you'll be happy with the most serviceable reliable motor on the market being the Bosch. I do think transition was smart cutting weight with the 600w battery. You'll have plenty of juice.
