It is. Those signs have been there for as long as I can remember, Iāve been riding these trails for almost 20 years.
Cops, cyclist, pedestrians, Karens etc are not educated so they go by those signs. Personally only had one cop incident in the past 6 years with PEVs, the trail runs right past a police station and I was pull aside and educated the nice cop.
I was really just pulled in by Jesus walking. Then it was that 10mph thing. Which means ALL cyclist are guilty if they want to go by those ārulesā
If those voltages are even accurate. Sometimes those are ārecommended maximum operating voltageā and sometimes they are ācomponent rated voltageā and, in general, trusting specifications from folks profiting from a sale is unfortunately often a folly.
In my experience they work themselves loose over time. Constant vibrations are concentrated at the fixed point. This has happened to nearly every panel mounted board iāve done.
If you can make it so the wires have absolutely no room to vibrate/flex/move coming up to the panel mount, you would likely negate this from happening.
Iāve experienced more reliability from panel mounts personally. But I also do clamp the wires to the deck about ~4cm after the connector. So maybe that is a big factor? IDK.
The term ābetterā is subjective to the operator.
Iāve been running my phases out between enclosure and deck with EVA foam as a gasket and connecting to motors in line outside of the enclosure. Working for me so far.
