   Day 30 of my recumbent ebike build: Ordered tools to open up the motor and fix that clicking sound.

   Fixed the pedal assist. I needed to set the cycle analyst to use 2-wire PAS encoding. Prior to that, PAS would only kick in when I was going below 5 mph. Weird!

   Went on a couple rides today. Average efficiency is under 4 wh/mi (2.5 wh/km). That’s way better than I expected!

   With that, I consider this build finished (for now)! Thanks for all the encouragement and feedback!

     Day 28 of my recumbent ebike build: first test ride! Quick ride down the street and back. Still found a couple things to tune up.

     There’s a clicking sound from the front wheel area when it’s moving under load. Didn’t show up running the motor on a stand. I wonder if the motor cable isn’t secured as well as it should be?

     The pedal assist needs to be dialed in some. It wasn’t detecting much power from me.

     Even so, it went great! Everything else in that 0.1 mile ride worked!
