I'm treading on thin ice here so... Perhaps the metaphor is too simple. The H-D unit is brute force in that it just always cranks out the power and dumps the excess to ground. The C-E unit tries to adjust and that may be where the failures happen. The controlling circuitry is not up to par in dealing with the variables that can happen with something as simple as a motor that goes from zero rpm's to 5K rpm.

The common thread I keep running into is that the C-E unit is too "delicate".

Somebody help with this?


What's your mileage? Who cares. Is it practical? See #1. What happens when it rains? You get wet.
