Rotator Posted June 4, 2016 Share Posted June 4, 2016 Which is supposed to be the best speed in order to get the better range? If you ride fast, you will drain many amps of your battery, but you would be draining during less time. On the other hand, slow rinding will drain less amps, but for a long time. It must exist a speed which is optimum in terms of power vs time. Anyone has done this study? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vik's Posted June 4, 2016 Share Posted June 4, 2016 Not a study... but my semi-educated guess would be something between 16-18 km/h is about right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mono Posted June 5, 2016 Share Posted June 5, 2016 See for example which suggests that this speed is below 15km/h. Another related thread is Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rotator Posted June 10, 2016 Author Share Posted June 10, 2016 I can't see your second related thread. I like the first one, but I wouldn't get the idea of 15 km/h is the more efficient speed. Ok, 15km/h is more efficient than 18. And 18 more efficient than 20. And so on. But it lacks more slow speed study to get a conclussion. It might be 12km/h will be more efficient than 15. But there is no data about that. It is necessary collect more data at lower speeds to get the inflection point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve454 Posted June 22, 2016 Share Posted June 22, 2016 On a car it is said, 45 mph. On a EUC I would say 5-6 mph. Not scientific, but slow speed will last longer, especially if hills or bumps are not encountered. I watched a video of hyper milers in cars and they accelerated as slowly as possible. But where is the fun in that? Oh no just realized the boss wants me to work the front counter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
