Rather than tearing V1.0.3 apart, I've been riding in the good weather. I also need to determine if I need a new DC-DC converter that can handle going from speced 48V to 60V input. The delay has given me lots of practice and data, some of which I forgot to record in the log (see right column).
Today I rode a record distance, riding to work, then to the dentist, back to work and then home - 12.7 miles. I realized the amount of battery discharge could be estimated based on KW-Hr input recorded by the P3 meter. There is some charging inefficiency of course, and the final meter should be more accurate, but running the numbers I can estimate my range is about 24 miles max given current configuration and driving style (pretty aggressive). The pack went down 53% today, and I noticed max speed was under 35 on the last stretch home - even a voltmeter would be useful.
Gearing, and weight reduction would help. Driving style too makes a big difference, I do brake a lot and try to get the heck away at stoplights/signs (and it is the fun part). Regen!?
