Wow! Thatās awesome. How fast were you going? What was your average speed?
I went for another ride yesterday and took some pictures of the display when I got home. (I kinda forgot that my display shows average and top speed.
)
So I still had about 4.5 volts left before the voltage sag starts to kick out my controller.
However, those last 4.5 volts get used up a lot faster than the first 4.5 volts.
I've also found that the first volt gets used up pretty fast too.
I've found that when I get to 47 volts (the needle starts into the green area at 48 volts) I've got around 20 km of range left if I keep my power output at around 250 Watts.
The wind is the biggest factor that affects my range followed by the road surface, so keeping an eye on my Watt meter is really important.
I remember going as slow as 18 kph into the wind on pavement last month using ~400 Watts, and then going with the wind at 32 kph using less than 200 Watts.
I was on the pavement a few days ago with the throttle locked using ~200 Watts, then I went onto the gravel shoulder and my Watts went to over 350 Watts, then into the grass beside the gravel shoulder and my power went to over 450 Watts.
Riding on the grass was really smooth and I figured that I was using less power than the gravel, but I was using quite a bit more.
