Heres the facts .
I bought a NEW. 22a/h - lifepo4 battery , 48 volt with BMS installed for $420 shipped to my house. This can handle 30 amps continuous and
60 amp bursts. 20 mph may be federal law, on STREETS.,...but many of us will ride on trails, beaches , sides of the road, etc...so we wont always be restricted to 20 mph. In my location, you wont get 30-=35 miles distance on a 11 A/H battery , unless you plan on pedaling ALOT. I have 3 large inclines on our main roadways , that will quickly deplete a 11 A/H battery with a 185+ lb rider.
I build ebikes, so I have a pretty good idea on this stuff .
If I can purchase a brand new 48 volt/ 22 a/h lifepo4 battery, with charger and BMS , for $420 shipped to my door , then we can be assured they are
building these batterys for under $350 ...and possibly cloer to $250....These are mass produced overseas by workers who make pennies per hour.
Great. You bought the cheapest battery you could find in that size. Super. Hardly reflects the "normal marketplace" where at 20ah battery is 700+ and is much larger than normal.
The CHEAPEST Chinese Sh*t DOESNT" MAKE THE MARKET.
I have 3 ebikes and ride them daily, so I have a pretty good idea on this stuff too.
And yes, I ride 30+ miles on my 11ah battery ALL the time. Never NOT achieved that (or much more)
It IS an E BIKE, so yes I peddle all the time. Like a bike.
There's the "facts"
