How many people are using there e-bike off-road?

[EddiePJ]

Again on FB, I have just read that KTM are going to be using it for 2017 and my money is also on Stromer using it as well.

This also came up on my Instgram account this morning. Afraid that I can only currently post a link and not the picture of it. https://www.instagram.com/p/BEylJ02rE2C/?r=1417492897

Certainly a lovely evening for a ride.

Not so good on my knees again though.
I only rode 13 miles and it wasn't exactly at break neck speed, as I was out researching a few potential new ride routes to make through woodland.

I also suspect that I am going to require a new battery sometime soon as well. 13 miles ridden in eco and tour, with an elevation gain of only 1,278' and from a full charge, only two bars were left remaining at the end of the ride. I've noticed for a while now that the mileage versus range has been going down, and from tonight's ride, things aren't overly promising.

Only 1200 ft!!!

Only 1200 ft!!!

Over a distance of 13 miles off road, that must be a flat ride when compared to your neck of the woods?

You have made me look on the OS mapping site at my own road though. I knew that it always felt steep and was one of the reasons for buying a pedelec in the first place. I guess that is what comes of living at the highest place in Sussex. There is always a hill to either go up or down.

I have also taken a look at my stats for this year. Pretty much totally off road.
60,000 ft of elevation gain, and the average elevation gain for each ride is 1,621 ft
Last years total elevation gain was 216,572 ft average elevation gain per ride 1'867 ft and greatest single climb of 2015 was 3,467 ft

Hi,

If you have one of these that is of no use, I would try re-celling it and find out if the BMS will reject the pack. I have not recelled one of these as yet. It would be interesting to find out.

Best regards,
Jimmy

well he will have a go for you edd got nothing to lose if its going in the bin anyway

Hi,

The highest mAh cells are currently 3500mAh (Sanyo NCR18650GA). I don't know how many cells can be squeezed into the case. With 50 cells (5P10S) then it would be about 630Wh. It would require 60 cells for 750Wh.

Best regards,
Jimmy
