Hello, greetings from the Netherlands.   How long does the E-motor assists if climbing a 8% hill ? (time, miles) .normal speed. dB noise during assistance? dB noise without assistance?   With regards and thanks, Jefh1 Replies to this message: stevedebi (Sep 24, 2009 3:50 pm) jefh1 (Sep 25, 2009 10:21 am) stevedebi (Oct 15, 2009 12:19 pm)

Where do you find hills in Holland?   But just to help your question, it depends the amount of charge in the battery; I have read some reports of 2 miles, but they didn't mention the grade.   I don't think than an electric motor generates any noise, so I assume you mean the ICE will be running lower with battery assist. Sorry, I can't help you there. Replies to this message: jefh1 (Sep 25, 2009 10:21 am) stevedebi (Oct 15, 2009 12:19 pm)

Replying to: stevedebi (Sep 24, 2009 3:50 pm) Hello Stevedebi, The Netherlands (special the province Holland) lies for a great part below sealevel and is flat. Except a little piece in the south of the province Limburg. About the line Maastricht, Margraten (with its US-war II cemetery and 8301 soldiergraves) and Aachen (Germany). Here is the beginning of the Eifel (Germany) and the Ardennes (Belgium). With small hills +/- 0,5 to 2,0 miles and 2 to 5%, some little climbings at 8% ( Valkenburg the Couberg, WC cycling 2012). see www.vvvzuidlimburg.nl/heuvelland. and enjoy. The Alpes in Germany, France, Switzerland and Austria are for the Dutch beloved holidaycountries. Regards, jefh1 Replies to this message: stevedebi (Oct 15, 2009 12:19 pm)

I must comment that your English is excellent! I lived in far western Germany many years ago, at a small air station in the Eifel. My visits to Holland were to the flat part!   You linked to the Dutch language site. Here is the english site.
