ððēThe #lectricOne has a range of about 800-1000ft, which is around 24 miles in this particular use-case of hauling my 200lb over a 100ft hill a couple times and then downtown, around the east side a bit, and back up Terwilliger (+500ft) where it was limping at 350W max, maybe 15mph with effort. Battery at 44.8V = "25%" state of charge ð so "long range" 670Wh battery actually only does 500Wh at over 500W. I might want to change the levels to 9 to pace it out more, something between 200W and 0?
116mi #lectricOne update, Hillsdale to Tigard and back, plus one trip down and up the 500ft hill to South Portland, and a couple short neighborhood errands, the last of which it dipped to showing 42V on the way up the 100ft hill. Basically don't start a long hilly trip when it looks like this but 100ft and a mile wasn't bad. Still needs a lower (than 200W) level-1 assist (I hope adjusting the scale to 1-9 does that, it's currently 1-5.) Requires two backpedals to detect assist at startup?? ðĪŠ
This was the end of the big trip on this charge, so whatever that was plus 6mi and +600ft...
5.4*2+16.2+6 = 33mi
& 272+515+600 = 1387ft
That checks out with the previous charge, though gentler climbs or some way to keep the motor in a lower wattage would improve the range a lot, even the climbing, as long as I'm able to stay over ~9mph. The lowest gear takes some mashing when you're trying to climb a hill so steep that you need way more than 500W to do 9mph (assuming your legs can supply 300 of those Watts for a bit.)
