Mine is less than I expected, around 250ish watts at 15mph on an upright Mtb with 26inch MTB tyres.
Less than I expected because I'm using a Cyclone 3kw mid drive, which I picked up to delete ANY hill, I thought at the expense of piss poor efficiency at low speeds and power output compared to a much smaller 250w motor at the same power levels.
I was going to go dual motor, Cyclone for climbing hills and a small efficiency focused 250w hub motor for cruising on the flat, but with the numbers I'm getting from the Cyclones controller displayed on its lcd this would not give me as much of a drastic increase in low speed efficiency as I would have expected.
Would help a lot if you kind folks could post what power usage you get at 15mph on the flat, so I can get some idea of how this setup compares.
Can you really get considerably less power usage at 15mph on a MTB upright in Tshirt and shorts, by using a motor optimised for maximum efficiency at 15mph on the flat?
