Nothing at all seems only true if the pace is exactly constant. Still I also suspect that overall the drag becomes the decisive factor at higher speeds (EDIT: at least on more or less smooth surfaces).
Belly laughing Posted July 1, 2016 Author Posted July 1, 2016 What I attached as pictures can explains more about what is under the hood in the range of EUC: lately, I did both extremes I could do with my MCM4 HS in order to get clearer understanding about the range. Harder I push EUC on uphills, shorter the range is. And I could see reliably reproducible results telling that if you want to get the most out of range, you must keep the speed around 15-18km/h (9.3-11.2MPH) which may have something to do with the gear ratio inside the Gotway MCM4 HS. I feel in my rides the frictional drag of surfaces, air which gets stronger quadratically, these which is the culprit of consumption of enengy.
