This chart shows the performance of each electric bike kit system
on the same bike on the same road with the same rider. The test begins at
a complete stop, then full throttle is applied with no pedaling.
Batteries UB12120, rider 140 lbs, level road, low wind, dry asphalt.
The graph and the table below it show the speed (MPH) attained at
intervals of one second from zero to the top speed. We believe this
is more useful information than wattage since it shows actual power to the
ground rather than power consumed. To calculate wattage, multiply volts
times amps.
Range (distance per charge) depends on many factors
including tire tread pattern, tire pressure, weight of rider, wind, hills,
stop-and-go, rider driving habits. We expect 10-14 miles from the
RoadRunner using 10AH batteries, no pedaling, regular city traffic, running as hard
and fast as we can. Adding pedal power helps, particularly at start-up. An
experienced rider willing to do some pedaling and keeping speed under 15 MPH may get more than 20 miles on a charge. As with a car, the
faster you take-off and the faster you run, the more fuel per mile you
will use.
