I kinda like more 1 Horse Power. But the real one... 8)

If I would be stupid I would believe you.

Batteries make about 1/3 sometimes 1/2 of tthe cost of an LEV. So its viable to get the most cycles out of the pack. That is possible if you buy high drain cells (15A - 20A) and make the pack 20-30% bigger than your maximum commuting need is. So get the Samsung 30Q or 25R or LG HE4 or HG2 they...

Interesting conclusion. Didn't expected that the rate of discharge have so much impact on cycle life. I am curious to see cycle test for a 80% capacity cycle from the beginning till 500 cycle. So every cycle 2000mAh (@ 1C/1D ) charge and discharge from the beginning rather than fixed voltage...

If you don't laugh watching this than you re not an ebiker! :D dSuwEqu9T8U

How about a cycle test with constant capacity rather than voltage? So instead of charging always from 4.15V to 3.1V. Charge from near empty to 75% (1875mAh) of the initial capacity 2500mAh . Than always cycle 1875mAh till 500cycles.

What if your CBR125R bike motor has a hidden fabrication failure that leads to a total loss after a few 1000 miles ?

Your assumptions are totaly wrong. Think of a Liion battery as a living thing. It needs care and a good constant environment to serve you for long. 500 cycles than end. LOL seriously? You can get >2000 cycles of about 70%-75% capacity cycles from modern 18650 cells. if you build the battery...

Yeah but the picture had also could be a HUB-Zilla or Cromotor.... They can deliver same power as the complicated inefficient ICE and look basically the same. (dont tell the cops) :mrgreen: To the Controller: there are new drives not yet for sale sadly. like the from Lebowsky which dont need...

You missed to bring up the resale value from the both systems. Just take a look at these: How many moving parts and points of failure you can see? For the gas engine i have no clue (maybe 20 or 30 or 60?) but the DD hub i know its 2 bearings. Even when batteries would cost double as now i...

Sometimes only a SUMO can cure the pain. 0hTXZxYmWEQ

There is also always the option to buy a (plug in ready) Pedelec in a supermarket like Aldi for dirt cheap. :D Its also even compliant with the visions from the politicians on how teh electric-bike has to be.... :)

Maybe it would help to stop discharge at different stages and than after a little resting time measure the voltage under no load?
