No, CrazyBike2 is currently hub-powered, a 9C 2807 w/12FET generic (~40A limit). By itself, with just the single battery pack, it's probably around 150lbs. Then I weigh about that, sometimes 160, so call it at least 300lbs bike&rider. Right now it's also got your pack on there too, so add on whatever that weight is.
Typically it gets 25-30Wh/mile without pedalling, call it 27 for a specific number. To get miles/Ah, I'm not sure. Assuming most of the Wh are at 52-ish volts, then 27/52 is 0.52Ah/mile. So inverting that, I get about 1.92miles/Ah.
That's with the usual accelerate hard for a second to get started, then quickly bakc off from WOT and gradually accelerate the rest of the way. On my commute, I usually have to do that about a dozen times in 2.5 miles, depending on traffic. Most of those times, it's accelerating up to about 20MPH, someitmes only 10 (cuz I go thru a parking lot in one place plus at work), and if I have to cross traffic lanes to get to my left turn, I'll probably have to beat traffic there and have to accelerate WOT utnil I reach 20 to get over there (occasionally for safety I'll just keep accelerating to max speed whcih is around 23-24 with the Vpower).
Sometimes, to get going quicker into traffic or from a stop when in a lane of traffic, I'll pedal some from startup to get going just a bit quciker than by motor alone. Or if I am trying to conserve power. But I stop pedalling at about 10MPH because it doesn't do anything after that.
Testing on yours I want to knwo about any problems before it gets sent back, so I am hammering it harder than I would normally.
So I'm not backing off from WOT until I hit 20 each time, and only in situations where I *have* to get going quicker to deal with traffic am I helping by pedalling at all, at startup from a stop. That's maybe a few seconds once on each leg of the commute.
So far, teh Volgood pack is performing fine, although it seems to sag a bit lower than mine during WOT, and thus doesn't feel like it accelerates as hard/fast. It also doesn't feel like it regens as hard as with my pack, but that might be my imagination because the watt numbers appear to be similar enough during braking, IIRC. 250W-350W from 15-17MPH down to about 10MPH and dropping off after that.
It definitely isn't as high a fully-charged voltage; mine's usually 54V-ish after surface charge is gone, and yours starts at about 52-53V, IIRC.
I do wish I had something like the celllogs, for all 16cell groups, so I could record all the cell groups' performance during a ride at various SOC, as that would tell us even more about the health of the pack.
I forgot to write down the CA data from today's trip before I laid down, so I'll have to get up and get that a bit later.
(actually, I sort of do, in that I have a Venom RC charger that theoretically can log to a computer, but I haven't figured out how to get it to do that yet, to my laptop's USB port)
