I ride up and down steep hills, and I carry up to 300 pounds with me and my saws, tools, and other things. I get great engine braking, but if I don’t use my brakes, and get up to about 10 mph, I start to almost freewheel. Braking is good, at a slow speed, but it seems to go away once I get going a bit fast coming down hill.
I can deal with it, but I am curious what causes the engine breaking to lose its effectiveness at higher speeds.
