The benefit of tracking atmospheric info in this case (btw, DA helps reduce all of those numbers you listed down to a single metric) would be in baselining for comparison, not just a one-off measurement... 1 hour ago, Paul D said: If your flying in a helicopter it’s useful, not important for euc riding. It's useful for much more than that... Aside from the simple avation-related useage to help calculate takeoff/landing speeds, fuel requirements, and runway-length considerations, it's also used to help calculate things like: 1. Effects of parasitic drag on overall fuel-efficiency and/or effective range (airplanes, auto racing, etc.) 2. Range/trajectory of a bullet in-flight (e.g. - simple example is using a known projectile ballistic coefficient & starting velocity, combined with an accurate and localized measurement of atmospheric density) - e.g. - changes in atmospheric density produce noticeable (range/energy-consumption) effects even with tiny and aerodynamically engineered objects. I have no idea how pronounced the effect would be on EUC battery range/consumption without at least some comparitive data (perhaps quite a bit), but can't see any way for it to be zero... Mods: I don't want to derail Marty's review thread, so perhaps the DA discussion would be best split off separately.

Popular Post UniVehje Posted January 7 Popular Post Share Posted January 7 Thank you, nice and useful video. The result is as expected. They seem to let single cell go well under 3.0v, which is not common. It used to be only some KS models that went down to 3.0v. I guess that's what the low voltage mode does. Personally I average around 14 Wh/km on my S22 riding about same speeds or a bit slower and I'm 72 kg (158 lbs) naked. I've done 100+ km on a single charge. Based on this I'm expecting to get 120 km on Lynx. I'm mostly sitting so there's less drag. I thought my mileage was low but you seemed to get about the same 22Wh/mile. Let me take the opportunity to thank you for always including metric values in your videos and forum posts. Very much appreciated. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When enabling low-battery mode, which I've been doing for the past year on the Sherman S, 69.6V is the new 0% (instead of 75.6V), or 2.9V * 24 cells. When you're down to the seventies, voltage goes down really quick though. But it does give you another 10 km or so. No impact on the battery after one year, still charges to the same voltage as it did on day one (101.2V, lucky me). Not sure why it would be bad for the batteries to do this regularly, as it was widely reported. After all, we're a long way off the 2.5V mark. Comes down to 104.4V on the Lynx, instead of 113.4V normally. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marty Backe Posted January 28 Author Share Posted January 28 @Afeez Kay graciously provided me some desperately needed better pedals for my Lynx. And, as a surprise, new lowered pedal hangers. Maybe a first for the Lynx? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UniVehje Posted January 28 Share Posted January 28 Thanks for testing the lower pedals. I’m interested in how they affect turning behaviour and stability. On my S22 lower pedals had a drastic difference on ride feel. Especially for relaxed long rides and seated riding. BTW, I also have that DeWalt gyroscopic screwdriver. Felt like a proper fit to work on gyroscopic vehicles. Works surprisingly well. One of my favourite tools. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You say that the lowered pedals had a "drastic difference on ride feel". You didn't say whether is was a good or bad difference??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You didn't say whether is was a good or bad difference??? Well, I guess it’s a matter of taste. For me lower pedals felt more familiar, made the ride more planted and turning easier. So definitely a good difference. Have you gathered more experience on your new pedals? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UniVehje Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 That black charger looks like the same that comes with S22 also. A generic cheap charger. The fan on those often becomes noisy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
