Hi
I have recently converted my Norco Threshold using a Bafang BBS02 mid drive 36v 500w. I also have a Trek FX hybrid which i converted with a rear hub motor again 36v 500w.
I am finding that the battery drains quickly on the Norco far quicker than on my Trek.
The batteries are Hailong 36v 15.6 ah and a 36v 15ah
The hub motor on the Trek allows me to commute to work for 2 days approx 16 miles per day so about 32 miles before charging the battery.
The mid drive on the Norco allows me to travel around 24 miles before it is drained. Is this normal?
The specs are:
Trek 21 speed 11 - 32 48/38/28 crank
Norco 10 speed 11-32 46 tooth crank
Both have thumb throttle but i only use this to occasionally set of from traffic lights i pedal and use pas level 2/3 but sometimes use level 5 on steep ascents.
Any ideas why the mid drive drains the battery quicker
Thanks
