I'm going to build a new battery and currently I'm investigating how.

I've build a spreadsheet for my options.
Google Docs
I know these are all theoretical values.

- I'm running a Vector Typhoon frame with 6kW Leili controllor and 5kW C&E Engine (AliExpress).
- I would like to keep the weight as low as possible
- I would like to keep the contoller inside the frame and not outside as some do.
- The bicycle will mostly be used for work-home trafficking (20 km a day)
- Due to legal regulations I will limit the speed to 30 km/h for public road
- Occasionaly (ones every 2 weeks) I will use to bike for offroad mountain biking, only at that time I will use the full potential of the bike.
- Top speed is not important, but torque is (for mountain biking)

The AliExpress battery that came with it is lame, so I only could test the bike with my 12S longboard battery of 0,2 kWh.
I managed a range of about 18 km with a max speed of 27 km/h.
Based on that I estimated my consumption at 25-35-45 km/h and for mountianbiking.
Could anyone tell if these figures are somewhat near realistic?

Right now I prefer li-ion above lipo's due to the better lifespan and safer use.
I think I will go for the 18650 30A 3000 MAH Sony's in 6P20S configuration, but I still doubt if 1,3 kWh is enough for mountainbiking.

Could anyone guess my consumption for some mildly off road mountain use for my 80kg bike (80kg rider) with my 6kW controller en 5kW engine?
 
I'm about to order the battery pack soon.
Is there anyone that can comment on the Wh ratings of mildly off-road terrain riding for an 6kW bike of 80kg + 80kg rider?

Currently guessed it on 40 Wh for an average speed of 23 km/h (15mph) with climbing some hills.
So with 1,3 kWh I should be able to ride about 33 km (20 mile)

Can anyone share usage figures of their own experience?
