Wisper 905SE Test

[ElephantsGerald]

I've been intrigued by burncycle's performance tests (Pro Connect First Range Test and Pro Connect Test 2), particularly the elevation profiles for the test routes.

Having no GPS device and tight pockets I've been looking a way to generate my own elevation profiles for free . I've found many sites that attempt to do this by getting you to mark out your route in Google Maps. The one I like the best is www.Bikely.com.

So, to echo burncycle (Pro Connect First Range Test 2)...

Conditions:

• Wisper 905SE City S
• No modifications
• Male rider (not that fit)
• 5' 9" tall
• 13 stone 2lbs
• Panniers with tools, waterproofs and my lunch (I'll assume it weighs 10lbs like burncycle's)
• Total weight 194lbs
• Bike in pedelec mode all the way, no throttle, no 'off-road' (deristricted) mode
• Entire journey done on a single battery charge
• Slight variations in the route to/from work due to the one-way system in Ross-on-Wye

Results (assuming Bikely.com is reporting things correctly ):

• 32 miles to work and back including 2762ft of ascents (from experience I know the bike will do a further 10 miles on top of this before it starts cutting out on hills)

Elevations to work:


Elevations from work:

Truly excellent result Elephants, showing the worth of that 37 volt 14 Ah battery and it's control system. I'm quite sure the charts are accurate since others are reporting circa 40 mile plus ranges on the 905se range.

I suspect that you are a stronger rider than Bob at present, given his acknowledgement that he is still gaining fitness, but that's not in any way to decry the very good performance of this bike.

I'm definitely improving; the journey into work (which is a bit more down-hill than up) was taking 80mins, and is now taking slightly over 60mins (16mph on average). Methinks I'm spending more and more of the journey at speeds above the pedelec cut-off speed .

That certainly helps Elephants. I think Bob has his Kalkhoff geared up so will still be using current at that speed and higher, giving you the range advantage.
