eRides

I've done a number of rides now on the electric trike, sometimes with BB and sometimes by myself.  Here is some data from ridewithgps.


When I'm with BB my speed averages around 8 to 9 mph.  By myself, speeds are significantly faster.  I've been trying to characterize speed vs amp hour (battery consumption).  Here's the data so far and a chart.


A couple of things are clear.  Higher speeds use MUCH more battery.  Likewise consumption is MUCH worse when there are serious hills.

It's still a bit early to know what to expect but it looks like with this setup I should have a range anywhere between 70 mi and 100 mi depending on speed, hills, and how much pedaling I do.
