£215. Here's two identical routes both done from a full charge, but the first was on PAS 5 (max) and the second was on PAS 2. It used about 27 Wh/mile on PAS 5 and 16 WH/mile on PAS 2... I'm sure getting the exercise in trying to do all this testing lol That PAS 2 above was the first ride...

Nealh I never thought of that with the KT controllers. I still don't want one though. :p One off putting thing about my controller though, is it's on sale for $20. :oops: The battery just completed it's first full charge, taking 11h 23m (at 2A). I don't know how any topping off at the end of...

I made a charge calculator now :p For estimating how long is left... I still need to add something like "Charge Amps?" and if you fill that in, it can tell you the estimated true Ah capacity of your battery. Note that when the above says it's 79.59% charged, my display wrongly says 94%...

It didn't go much further than those 50 miles! It cut off due to voltage sag up that 11.3% hill. At the time it was giving me between 800W to 850W. When setting off, the 48V battery was at 45.3V. I set off along a flat road and, although the display said 40% in my house, when riding on the...

Cheers vfr400. I thought about a KT controller but if it was assisting with less power on the lower levels, I can see myself constantly pressing plus and minus all the time, whereas with it having the same on all levels, I never need to. This is why I put it on PAS 5 on that first (and hilly)...

I'm really unfit though, it's up the wall IMO. Put it this way, before putting the kit on, I had to be on a 22t inner chainring and 40t sprocket (on 11-speed) and even in that low of a gear, I couldn't get up the 610 meters of 11.3% gradient near where I live, not without stopping anyway. Also...

Just got another 15.69 miles under my belt or rather, my battery and motor has! This battery is an absolute beast. I went an exact distance tonight to make the total mileage come out to 50 miles. The first two rides I was hammering it on max PAS (5). On the last three rides I had it on PAS 2...

I can't compare because I was all excited on the first couple of rides and had it on max PAS. My plan is to keep it on PAS 2 now until it runs out. Next ride will be 15 miles (or whatever makes it up to 50). After charging it fully next cycle, I will probably set it on PAS 3 for the whole cycle...

It seems the more I use the battery the less it drops in voltage for the same distances. Tonight I repeated the exact same ride as the first ride (but on PAS 2 tonight when the first ride was on PAS 5) and it's coming up with what I think must be impossible (7.48 Wh/mile). This is on quite a...

Just did a ride on PAS 2 (out of 5) and what a difference that made to the efficiency, compared to the first two rides hammering it! I have ended up taking the throttle off completely, since I can't imagine ever using it now the PAS is setup, but it means my left shifter can work properly again...

vfr400 that 48v figure is only there so the calc can multiply it by Ah to get Wh. The other "Volts?" figure under "Battery Power Left" is what you enter based on what your display says the voltage left is. If the voltage drops faster when it goes under 50%, that will end up being reflected on...

Spreadsheet now has "Battery Potential" showing what you could get from the battery riding the same way as the ride it corresponds with on that row. I have uploaded a template version of this spreadsheet if anyone thinks they might get some use out of it. It's complicated though, only I know...

Done 2 rides up to now, here's the details and the battery power it says it has left, in volts and as a percentage. It started out on 100% charge at 54.6v on a fresh battery, left on charge for 12 hours first time charging it, to allow for cell balancing (if it was doing it, I have no idea, but...

It's a YCSV126-001-48T that came with the kit. To be honest I think I'd prefer it staying the way it is, although if I get this purported "kick" from the PAS people have claimed happens with this particular controller, I might end up swapping it out for a KT, assuming all the wires have all the...

I hammer the motor though lol. I need to get back to those fitness levels again. I'm almost certainly using more than that now. I know I must be, because I was using 17.5wh/m on a carbon road bike, 25c tyres at 90 psi and I weighed about 155lbs back then, compared to now on a metal MTB with...

I used to have a 24V/8.8Ah battery back in 2014 and I know I got 12 miles from that battery, so I made an Excel calc where I can input the battery Volts, the Ah and the Wh Per Mile. Well actually the Wh Per Mile part is something I juggled around until I got it to say 12 miles. It was only...

Cheers folks. Edit: There's only one way the throttle and PAS can be connected, scrap the previous stuff about swapping them (and it was off-topic).

This is the 48V LiitoKala battery, advertised as 25Ah. The pack uses their own 21700 cells that are advertised as 5,000mAh. First time ever using it, today on a fresh charge I went 10.82 miles and the battery voltage went from 54.6V to 49.5V, with it saying it used 28% of the battery, which if...

OK that makes sense cheers Nealh. I think the first thing I'll be swapping out is this controller. I was almost in tears tonight - I put the whole kit on the bike and got an 08H error. I thought I might have yanked a wire out of a component or snipped through one, in the end it was the 1T4...

My aim was to always get a 50 mile range and I got a 48V/25Ah (1200Wh) battery, which may or may not be far too big. If it turns out I'm getting even close to your figures, I'll be swapping it out for something 2/3 of the weight. Thing is my fitness levels are bad... which was the whole point of...
