    Avg Battery Range

    I have an old 1999 EVG that I just changed the SLA batteries to nice Laudation packs. I tested them to approx 770Wh (combined). Today I did 38.8 miles (my new record) using 453Wh (was lazy and windy!) with 55% remaining (58% after rest). At this rate I might get >60 miles. Much more if I pedal…...

    Hi folks! Hopefully you have been following my EVG restoration project. I got a new batch of Laudation 7s5p batteries and man-oh-man am I a happy boy. After I did some measurements to prove they were approx 15Ah each, today I went for my Maiden Voyage. Even though not very wind efficient, the...

    Ahhh, @Cuz Vinny are you not violating multiple local laws by riding a moped/motorcycle (> Class 3) on park trails, not properly licensed nor insured? Got DOT helmet?? Not sure of the laws/rules in Delaware…. 🤡 -BB Edit- the angry face was a joke!!!

    BarnBoy’s 24V EVG Battery Improvement Project…

    LMAO- The 93% photo above was while charging the first time for load testing. Cap in the EVG battery box is 47mF and 35V rated. Should be good… Oh- wheel was fixed a bit ago and I have been riding with the 💩-pack but limited if wind or hills. I don’t think I have limits anymore; except maybe...

    And for anyone considering an Okoman pack after the charts above, then the photos below should convince you otherwise. Ties are very thin 8mm and magnetic (plated steel). Note the lack of positive terminal insulators. What else can you spot wrong….. 💩💩💩 -BB

    BarnBoy’s 24V EVG Battery Improvement Project…

    Well I started a load test on the packs just after the packs charged before dinner. Packs took about an hour longer to charge than theory as charger current reduces near charge max. Well my wife woke me at 2am (53%) so I stopped testing and restarted after a nice nap in bed. I could have just...

    BarnBoy’s 24V EVG Battery Improvement Project…

    Hello all! Sorry for a lack of any updates. I suspect I was rather disappointed with the Okoman pack I decided to buy a bunch of battery welding and testing equipment intent on building my own packs. Doing cost analysis and with current GOOD 18650 cell availability and gouging, I decided to try...

    Wife told me to get out of the house, so I did! I wanted to go yet again further than I have before, but came up a bit short. Winds and lights were not in my favor. This trail was the old road before all the farmers in this area of Pleasanton decided to plant houses instead of crops…. This...
