Lukasz Posted August 2, 2017 Share Posted August 2, 2017 Slightly erratic/quick review of the KS16S after two months of use / 1300 km. Movie also include short description of mods .. Please subscribe to my channel if possible. Thank You in advance. More technical detailed review - after 2000km... (it will also be colder, yesterday we had 35 degrees Celsius.... ;-) ) I have counted the days - I use KS16S for 53 days now, so this is 24,67 km/day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meepmeepmayer Posted August 2, 2017 Share Posted August 2, 2017 70km range on 840Wh? Are you like 65kg? Or going 5km/h? Besides that, thanks for the video! The 16S looks so pretty in matte black (would love to see silver too). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lukasz Posted August 2, 2017 Author Share Posted August 2, 2017 With moderate speeds (city sightseeing 15-20 km/h) in hot weather (higher battery efficiency) I have made over 50 km with still 30% power left, but I never had the occasion to really make "full discharge" I make sometimes 60-70 km /day but with break in the mid day - so I charge the wheel back to 70-90 %. I use charge doctor daily, and make full charge every one week / 10 days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meepmeepmayer Posted August 2, 2017 Share Posted August 2, 2017 Thanks! So this is extrapolated? Do you know if the 30% are actually usable or 20% is the end? Why I'm asking: on my ACM 1300Wh, in warm weather I get nearly 1km per % battery so in theory the last 20% (when the constant beeps start) should easily give 15 km range. The one time I tested it, I was limited to walking speed very soon and didn't even get 5 km before the wheel tiltbacked so hard it was over. So effectively 20% battery left is like 0%, and the 80% are the real, usable range (corresponding to 75+ km without problems - I did 73 but that included a big, battery eating mountain ascent).

Lukasz Posted August 2, 2017 Author Share Posted August 2, 2017 Yes, 70 km is for sure extrapolated/best conditions. I use wheel on the daily basis as my main mean of transport. Car just sits in the garage as long as my hypermarket supplies are still around... I do not know yet if 30% means really 30% range.... I try not to experiment with full discharge if I do not have to... I try to stay between 30-94 % of charge as long as possible - if conditions allow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meepmeepmayer Posted August 2, 2017 Share Posted August 2, 2017 Thank you. I just felt compelled to defend my ACM's honor The bigger batteries=range (and slightly stronger motor) is basically all that it has over the 16S Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrelwood Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 The KS-16S 840Wh (fw 1.02) can be ridden to 0% (50.0V) battery and even beyond. 48.0V is the final tiltback. The speed limit at 0% battery is still 20 km/h, but even a medium acceleration or a tiny incline will (dip the battery below 48.0V and) cause a tilt-back and beeps. For me the last 5 km or so of the total range are not fun at all to ride, so I rarely go under 30%. And I mean 30% when stopped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
