Performance

As this is a kit, with the user selecting the parts that dictate the performance, we can only tell you how our recommended parts perform.

We like the following combination of parts:

Motor: 63mm diameter 200 kV

Battery: 4 parallel 5s 5000mah LiPo's (~370wh)

Performance Specs:

Speed: ~ 43 kph on the flat

Economy: ~ 12 wh/km

Range: ~ 30 kms

These calculations assume you are blasting around everywhere at full throttle, in a normal urban environment with a mixture of flat, moderate hills, starting and stopping at lights etc. Obviously if the drive is only used as an ocassional asisst when the going gets tough, or if you like to cruise at lower speeds, you will get even better economy, and greatly extend the range.

Speed: There is no free lunch...

Here are some indicative graphs of how the speed you travel affects required power, your economy and ultimately your range.
