I put the 10 tooth front sprocket back on. First ride the chain was too tight, and the noise was awful. A little adjustment AND some bicycle lube on the chain for today and it was much better.
The 10 tooth is much snappier, and once up to speed, I find myself coasting. The louder sounds might make me satisfied at a certain speed, maybe I was going faster with 13 teeth, but I definitely did not see any 300-400 AMP accelerations
going by on the meter.
I think the trick is the batteries, and sizing the motor/gearing for the weight. Its been a critical lesson in my EV study, glad to test on a bike before a car.
I am pondering a #40 drive upgrade - maybe add MORE teeth front and rear sprocket to keep the same ratio with more and quieter links. Motor mounts or deadening to quiet the current racket is also under consideration.
