BlackM Posted September 6, 2015 Share Posted September 6, 2015 I just did a 16km ride and i got a low battery warning after about 11-12km on an almost new Ninebot E+, is this normal at all? Range seems way too low. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mengke Posted September 6, 2015 Share Posted September 6, 2015 Your weight? And road condition? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackM Posted September 6, 2015 Author Share Posted September 6, 2015 85kg and decent road condition, not perfect but tarmac for most of the way, maybe 3km total done on hard gravel road rest on good road. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gil Posted September 6, 2015 Share Posted September 6, 2015 I am not 100% sure but I remember that batteries reach their full capacity after several discharge/charge cycles. Concerning my 9B1E+, it clearly increased its autonomy after a few days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KaleOsaurusRex Posted September 6, 2015 Share Posted September 6, 2015 My E+ goes about 7 or 8 miles before doing the slow operation and constant tilt-back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackM Posted September 6, 2015 Author Share Posted September 6, 2015 tire pressure? Quite hard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cloud Posted September 6, 2015 Share Posted September 6, 2015 Well for one thing it makes me feel better about my range which i wasnt totally happy about. I can only do 20 miles total on my kingsong 14" 680wh battery. On a decent road conditions with high tire pressure. I am 100kg. This seems consistent with ninebot numbers from blackm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason McNeil Posted September 6, 2015 Share Posted September 6, 2015 Can confirm Cloud's findings, 20 miles at high cruising speed is what you can expected from the KS 680Wh. Next firmware upgrade will probably squeeze another 5-7 miles out of if it.http://forum.electricunicycle.org/topic/1055-usable-wh-in-ks-680wh-only-~500wh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daan Posted September 6, 2015 Share Posted September 6, 2015 My E+ goes about 7 or 8 miles before doing the slow operation and constant tilt-back.Hmm, that is somewhat disappointing for 340Wh... My Solowheel has a smaller battery than 340Wh but it can do surely 13 miles on flat terrain. Perhaps the Ninebot tilt-back is set a bit too conservative, or perhaps they use different kind of batteries? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dpong Posted September 6, 2015 Share Posted September 6, 2015 I weigh 170 lbs (makes a big difference!) and ride on rolling hills but I don't ride very fast. Often my avg speed is 8mph, but I do mixed riding - some straightaways and some slower obstacle avoidance and strolling while taking in the scene. At 10 miles I'm typically down to 50% battery, and can go another 5 miles (for a total of 15) before the safety features start to kick in at around 20%-30% battery left. The most I've ridden on a charge so far is 16.5 miles, at which point I think I would have been limited if trying to go over 10mph. Your weight, the speed you ride, make a big difference in the results you receive. But I guess we all pretty much know that. Just another data point for comparison guys.PS. I'm riding tire pressure of 45-47 psi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cloud Posted September 6, 2015 Share Posted September 6, 2015 One kinda obvious conclusion one can get from all of this : if you are new and trying to decide which batteries to go with when buying a wheel, you need to figure , as a rule of thumb, the actual range will be about half of the advertised range.

Noam Posted September 6, 2015 Share Posted September 6, 2015 Went yesterday for a ride with the lads on my two months old E+ for about 16km. Temperature about 30 degree C, good road conditions, no off road track, tyre pressure slightly above 3 bar and with me being about 80 kg. Started with 100% freshly charged and ended with 39% battery level. The bot is in daily usage for minor trips and the battery was never below 20% so far.We had s couple of kids in the group on Kingsong (dont know the particular model) and IPS LHOTZ. According to their comments after the trip, the battery level of their euc's was all well above 70%. I guess all of them are in the range of 25-30 kg. Now the impact of weight on range is not really a surprise but it make me think shredding one or two extra kilos for the sake of more distance (and I am sure for the sake of my tailor ?)

dpong Posted September 6, 2015 Share Posted September 6, 2015 @Noam How fast were you riding? I assume as fast as possible? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gerald Kealakai Posted September 7, 2015 Share Posted September 7, 2015 Today's ride on a NBOE+185 pound rider; 20 degrees C; ridng mostly at max. speed of about 12 mph for 51 minutes; some hills; all pavement and concrete; 9.5 miles covered with the last 1/2 mile having the tilt back kicking in; and 15% residual battery power remaining.

Kevin Posted September 7, 2015 Share Posted September 7, 2015 IPS Lhotz here, 340Wh - I have been getting 20-25km range according to the app (which I don't actually trust, but...).However, I do a lot of up/downhill riding and have been doing drills where I go fast then do a U turn as sharply as possible... so it's probably not the ideal circumstances.

Noam Posted September 7, 2015 Share Posted September 7, 2015 Hi @dpong, no we have been around 40 people riding through downtown Singapore. All sorts of euc's and level of riding ability and experience. We also went through some crowded places, so the average speed was maybe more in the range of 12 to 14 km/h.I made some videos with my phone, but have no idea how to edit a film or how to brush it up, so I wont bore you with that. But here is a wee picture to give you an impression. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dpong Posted September 8, 2015 Share Posted September 8, 2015 Today I ran my NB1 E+ as far as I was comfortable going on a single charge. I made 18.62 miles. At the end I was down to 19% battery, and would get good solid tilt-back when going 7mph. Decided that was good enough. It must be that I ride slow and steady to get these kinds of distance? I rarely exceed 11mph and I accelerate slowly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cloud Posted September 8, 2015 Share Posted September 8, 2015 Wow @dpong. Now you are making me envious.:) gotta be the steady pace and probably not so much the speed... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vido Posted September 8, 2015 Share Posted September 8, 2015 yesterday I rode for about 14 miles and had about 40%~ left. Hit top speed numerous of times. Terrain was smooth with decent amount of hills. Psi is 45 and I weight about 155. Even with bad terrain I could get close to 20 miles on a full charge.

dpong Posted September 8, 2015 Share Posted September 8, 2015 @vido I can see that your average speed is similar to my typical average speed, although at no time do I go anywhere near your maximum speed. So I am tempted to conclude that average speed may be a big factor in distance achieved on a charge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My top speed going straight was probably 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
