Knee care is important. We worked through a tibial band injury with Mrs stinkwheel and setup/geometry is important keep your cadence high and load low. If you are clipping in, get cleats with the maximum possible float.
Have a look at the pedal stance width. You'd ideally have your feet roughly shoulder width apart and toes pointing slightly in so the outside edges of your feet are paralell. This makes the knee flex in a straight line.
Detailed article here:

Consider shorter cranks.
Mrs stinkwheel also trains on a fixie which works both sets of muscles round the knee but may not be appropriate for a prosthetic as it can be high load. ____________________ “Rule one: Always stick around for one more drink. That's when things happen. That's when you find out everything you want to know.”

Ebikes are interesting. I built an ebike from the kits. While it doesent have the poke of a 99 R1 this last week or so was a bit like the first joy of descovering motorbikes, right throttle hand turns and you go forward kind of smiles. Added to that the lack of speed cameras and ability to use the cycle infrastructure, i estimate across London its as fast as a motorcycle / scooter across town, 20p per charge, less hassel.
The battery technology is getting there but not quite, I think once these bikes do 100 miles per charge rather than the 50 ish now then ears will start perking up. ____________________ [Current Bikes - GSXR-750 K5 & C90-97 ] [Previous Bikes: Runner 125, YBR 125, GS500, Bandit 600, Hornet 600, ZX6R-99, C90-99, R1-99, XT600E-04, GSXR-750 K4, CRF250L '16] |

I'm used to touring on overloaded biks, but 34kg is alot for a bicycle , would be interested to know how you get on with that and the real world range.
Thats pretty efficient your setup then because I have just under a 1300 wh battery (52v) and im getting 40 miles (throttle only). I think im a bit thottle happy going to peak amps too much and not pedalling at all.
I met a guy on the road who said he had a 48v 60ah pack, it was a massive brick in fairness on his rack and reckoned 100 miles on the throttle. ____________________ [Current Bikes - GSXR-750 K5 & C90-97 ] [Previous Bikes: Runner 125, YBR 125, GS500, Bandit 600, Hornet 600, ZX6R-99, C90-99, R1-99, XT600E-04, GSXR-750 K4, CRF250L '16] |
