Took bike for test ride today. First 10 minutes I could sustain 26-27 mph on flat terrain. Pedaling along didn't really up top speed but power used went down slightly. My concerns and observations
1. Any best practice with break in??
2. With Q100h and this battery/controller http://www.bmsbattery.com/battery-pack/681-bottle-ebike-battery.html what kind of range should I expect near WOT on mostly flat terrain??? Is there a way to calculate range/efficiency to get max efficiency??
3. On flat terrain, is it ok to sustain WOT?? My LCD3 read between 575-750 watts maintaining 25ish mph. I checked and the motor was warm to the touch, not hot. Controller was barely warm.
4. How to measure battery charge left with LCD3?? Battery was charged yesterday and this was first ride. Within 5-10 minutes went down 1/4 on the display and about another 15 minutes down to 1 bar. I continued riding and never quit on me, but concnerned it seemed to drop that much so quickly. I don't know if the LCD3 needs to calibrate itself to get an accurate reading or what. Ride was about 15 miles total under 3/4 - WOT most the trip.
