Motor doping thread

Thanks. So a motor on its own won't help more than old stuff, right?

A small one I guess no, it would only make a difference, which should be enough along with the old stuff. But that's not my area of expertise.
That could also be that a new stuff is replacing the old stuff. Or completing it. Who knows?

Ghost in the machine Lappartient episode is very telling; he doesn't want every bike tested but only bikes of suspicion. Literally that is what he said.

He also says the amount of bike changes makes it harder. And that the ipads aren't effective.

There really are so many loop holes here.

Are the reason for more bike changes nowadays that the modern bikes are more fragile? Like more things on those bikes can go wrong than in the past because it's more fine tuned and more variable?

Changing bikes is quicker then changing a wheel, because of disc brakes.

It depends how big the motors are we're talking about. Standard ebike is like 150W which is way more than doping, but that's also not gonna work in a road bike

Even a 30-watt motor would make a big difference (in case of Pogi almost 0.5 w/kg) and it should be pretty small. Energy storage is another question: a small battery wouldn't contain any decent amount of energy.

But you need so little capacity to make a huge difference it's pretty unreal.

I'm not an expert in batteries but a hypothetical 10-minute 30-watt boost requires at least 18kJ of energy or 5Wh (probably more due to efficiency). I have no idea how small a battery like that can be, trying to find something over the internet.

EDIT: I found some small batteries (a few thousand mAh and 1,5V) with the biggest dimension (height) of 5-6 cm.

That is rather big!
