TremF Posted October 4, 2017 Author Share Posted October 4, 2017 Well It's been back just over a week & so far, as I'm still recovering from the pain & weakness caused by walking, I've only used the Monster for work so far. I was riding for 2 days before I decided to look at what sort of mileage I am getting so my spreadsheet starts with the battery at 80% and the range 363.76 km/226.03 miles. Today I've gotten to work and there were a couple of occasions where the Monster beeped at me but I was going fairly quickly up slight hills. As I was getting to the turn off to work I noticed a radar speed sign? show 28mph. I thought there was a car right behind me but when I looked there wasn't so that was me! It definitely didn't feel like 28mph. So anyway the battery now shows 30% and the range 388.97 km/241.69 miles a difference of 25.21 km/15.66 miles in 50% which means, potentially I will only get around 30 miles/48 km. I was getting around 25 miles on my ACM so either the weight/power difference of the Monster is hindering it or it isn't using the two batteries? I'll do a few more charge/discharge cycles and keep monitoring it but if this is right then for what it's cost me so far it isn't a worthwhile purchase for me. I wanted the Monster for the range but thanks to the shell being weak & needing replacing then the batteries arcing I'm not going to be getting it.

Congratulations on getting your Monster back on the road again! Ian was correct in his estimation that your mileage would be reduced by 1/3 which makes complete sense considering you had to eliminate the 1 bad pack. Be safe!
