The fast guys left early so I rode with who was left and they were a little
slower so I used less battery power.
Included in this ride was the 1.25 mmile 8% mountain. I was fairly conservative
on the power for most of the ride but I gave it maximum effort on the mountain.
The beauty of being able to use only as much power as necessary is that you can
ride right up to your physical limitations without going over and still never
have to worry about being dropped.
This loop had lots of hills too. These guys can ride. I'm prety sure my presence tends to make them go faster too. At the beginning they seemed like they...

Impressive stats as usual andrsnj1! I did a short ride myself last night. 20 miles, 197wh, 16.6 mph average speed, 9.85wh per mile. Two mountains climbed with...
34 miles, 389 watt hours, 18 mph avg Another beautiful day. At the end we saw the sun setting over the CT River. There was about 40 riders in the A/B group...
I did a nice 30 mile ride yesterday up in the hills. 257wh used and average speed was 15.9mph. I think that 100 miles with 720wh of battery is definitely...
... John: Sounds like you're enjoying a pleasant New England summer. If I'm riding faster than most other cyclists, but not at maximum speed, I find I can go...
If you can't beat a all human power athlete cyclist like Lance on a all terrain 100 mile race with a ebike weighing under 100 lbs your trip figures of wh per...
There's some truth to what Randy is saying here. The only exception I'd take is the arbitrary 100 mile figure. If a 75lb ebike enables an average rider to beat...
... I go out just about every weekend and ride 70 to 120 miles with climbing up to 10k feet on an ebike that weighs close to 100 lbs. Yes, I pedal, because...
1kwh of battery would increase his maximum watt hour per mile to 10wh and this is more power than I'm reading that he's using on most of his typical jaunts....
... It's not clear to me what John's climbing density is on these rides he does with the local go-fast group. (climbing density = feet climbed per mile...
I don't know what my climbing density is on a typical ride other than to say there are usually lots of hills, probably around the 80 feet per mile figure you...
If you bother to look as the facts, some impedance matched Lipos weigh 1/2 as much as the most powerful lifepo4 batteries and have a continuous C rating that...
Yes, and they also have tradeoffs in the realm of safety. It's not just about energy density you moron.. Scotty would tell you that your matter/anti-matter...
If you can't match a athlete cyclists speed for the same long distance would be a good indication. If you come close all you would need to do is spend more $...
Four times more battery? Let's do a little math.. 4 x 720wh is 2880wh For a 100 mile ride, this would mean that andrsnj1 would have to his avail 28.8wh per...
There are all kinds of variables when comparing different riders with varying amounts of battery power and motor power. I know I'm not in the same category as...
I would go for increasing battery capacity! Don ... From: robbiehatfield To: power-assist@yahoogroups.com Sent: Monday, July 13, 2009 8:34 PM Subject:...
37 miles, 340 watt hours, 17.7 mph avg. This includes the 1 1/4 mile, 8% grade. My numbers are a little better than usual, I attribute this to more effort on...
A tad over 9 watt hours per mile. About the same rate of usage that I had this past weekend with my 50 mile ride. My average speed was around 16.5 mph or so...
Tonight I went out with the group without my motor. I was conservative this time and chose the "C" group. We went 27 miles. My average speed readout had an...
14.7mph average speed is a respectable pace for the average rider that doesn't devote their whole life to training on a bicycle. Good on you andrsnj1. I think...
Went out again tonight. I was closer to home and more familiar with the territory so I decided to push the envelope a little and went out with the "B+" group....
Here they say that on a recumbent, you don't need a draft to go fast, you go as fast alone on a recumbent as uprights drafting in groups. The thing is that...
Hi Bruno, It is possible to use drafting for delta recumbent trikes connected together. It is done in Germany with Hase delta trikes. I also saw it in 2006 at...
Tough night andrsnj1! In contrast, my night was much easier. I flew my RC plane for an hour or so. LOL Seriously speaking, yes, as your apparent interest all...
Being part of a group is not one of my driving forces but it does have its advantages. I really do admire what some of these guys can do on a bicycle. I want...
Loose some body weight, get a efficient drive system, and light weight batteries and you will still be beaten by a athlete cyclist because they are doing the...
