Sentences with phrase «makes pedal power»

Generating electricity is not only ineffiicient, it also makes pedal power less sustainable, less robust and more costly.

Not exact matches

The Chiron's buttery - smooth torque curve and instant power delivery, thanks to its innovative two - stage turbocharging setup, makes easy work of any passing situation with a mere tap of the gas pedal.

We love that there's a power supply included, too, and that the foot pedal and clip cord let you make adjustments quickly and easily.

They make plenty of noise but the pedal stays firm and the stopping power is commensurate with something that weighs so much and yet builds speed so quickly.

It's not only the absolute stopping power that makes a big difference but the absolutely constant pedal pressure and travel, the complete absence of brake fade.

There's no doubt that the GT2 loses ground to the 599 in those entry phases - it just doesn't have the same mechanical purchase on the surface — and, of course, its less linear power delivery makes holding a stable throttle position through the turn more difficult, but when you release the steering angle and squeeze the right pedal to the floor, the combination of twin turbochargers and rear - engine traction are imperious.

So if you leave the clutch pedal released, and if the engine power is such that no torque is being applied by the engine, there could in theory be less wear on the synchronizers when disengaging them by moving the shifter to neutral because you can artificially make that amount zero.

Sport mode makes the gas pedal feel more sensitive and responsive and reduces power - steering assistance, which makes the steering wheel feel heavier.

On the plus side, the revised gearbox has a snappier and more precise shift action, while the brakes make up for a lack of monster stopping power with a pedal action that's well - weighted and progressive, which helps to make light work of heel and toe downchanges.

Even though the six - cylinder uses two turbochargers to make its 300 horsepower and 300 pounds - feet of torque, the engine doesn't display any of the negative characteristics in around - town driving — like power lag — that you might associate with a turbocharged engine; you just get smooth power when you press the gas pedal.

On the highway, though, there's little reserve power; the ES 300h cruises easily at speed but makes more noise than acceleration when you press the gas pedal to the floor.

S mode is quicker as the gear box holds the lower gears to serve instant response as soon as the accelerator pedal is depressed.This DSG «box is quick to shift and responds extremely well, however, there is a tendency for it to make the power output jerky, especially at lower speeds.

The XLT's engine makes enough power to cause the front tires to spin on dry pavement when you floor the gas pedal.

Also worth pointing out is that, as a result of all those gear ratios, the engine is rarely out of its optimum power and torque bands, so you won't need to keep your foot planted on the gas pedal for long when making progress.

When the pedal is mashed and those two turbos spin, this power plant makes 365 horsepower and 350 lb. - ft.

If you slam the accelerator pedal to the floor, it downshifts a couple of gears - giving you the power you need to make a quick overtake instantly.

HERE»S WHAT I DO N'T LIKE: Loud wind noise (anytime I exceed 40 - 45 mph), makes it hard to hear the radio at normal volume; intrusive road noise, which I corrected by swapping out the standard Goodyear tires with Continental tires; lackluster acceleration for a V6 engine, CVT tends to lose momentum when you lift your foot off of the gas pedal — often jerky when accelerating and decelerating while in motion and when accelerating from a dead stop; as mentioned by another reviewer, accelerator hesitates before catching when shifting from reverse to drive; bumps in the road are not well absorbed (the 2016 model may have addressed this issue); no power to windows after you shut off the engine; no auto door locks; poor V6 fuel efficiency averaging around 24 MPGs combined; trunk lid's arms and safety feature makes it heavy and sometimes hard to lift open; Infotainment system does understand most voice commands; and Harmon Kardon speakers are sometimes crackly.

The RS7 shouts supercar performance about as much as a pedal - powered Big Wheel — and that's just the kind of deception that makes it so brilliant.

Another delight feature is power adjustable pedals, first offered in SUVs and now making their way into cars.

It allows drivers to make lightning - fast gear changes, without a clutch pedal and without any interruption in the power flow.

100 km / hr in top gear results in 1600 RPM on the tachometer, so a prod on the big pedal is enough to make quick overtakes as the increase in power has given it ample reserve to whizz past traffic.

The Beetle GSR has more power than that GTI, a big rear spoiler, flat - bottomed steering wheel, retuned suspension, 19 - inch wheels, racing stripes, an onboard timer, boost gauge, excellent sport seats... but the floppy pedals and shifter, the light steering somehow manage to make it feel marginally sporty at best.

However, once on the street, moderate pressure on the accelerator pedal makes the software that controls the power sources kick in the 2.4 - liter engine.

Given its higher power output than the competition, the 2017 Ford C - Max hybrid makes for an economical commuter and practical errand runner in areas where traffic or terrain requires a little more speed from the pedal.

The Bottom Line Given its higher power output than the competition, the 2017 Ford C - Max hybrid makes for an economical commuter and practical errand runner in areas where traffic or terrain requires a little more speed from the pedal.

As with the 918 Spyder, the power of the Panamera electric motor — 100 kW (136 hp) and 400 N · m torque — is made available as soon as the driver touches the accelerator pedal.

Brembo brakes offer great stopping power with a weighty feel making them a joy to use, while the pedals are perfectly spaced for heel - and - toe antics.

Bite at the top of the pedal stroke is very light before tightening in the middle, which gives you some modulation of stopping power, but makes it difficult to brake smoothly.

In this mode, stamping the gas pedal made it feel as if the car had to gather its power up before it would unleash it all with locomotivelike power.

Thoughtful amenities such as a power liftgate, keyless start, remote engine start, power - adjustable brake and accelerator pedals, and a universal garage door opener make each day that much better.

Overall this gives A-Bike Electric a much better riding experience, and especially now with the power assistance that makes pedalling a lot easier too.

Moreover, it is easy to make the frame for a mechanical pedal powered machine from scavenged materials, bringing the embodied energy down to almost zero, while this is an impossibility for the batteries.

Even if you make your own pedal power generator, the costs add up.
