Hi Everyone,
I'm riding around on Continental sport contact 26x1.6 Tyres. Pumped to 90 psi they are rather uncomfortable, but brilliant to pedal.
I wanted to go for a spin today and wasn't bothered to pedal so I let half the air out. It was so much comfortable on the road at speed.
On the 6.2 mile spin that I go to test, my consumption went up from 48 wh/mi to 55!
So out of the 510 watt hrs of battery I loose about 1.5 miles from the loss of 40-45 psi!
I was thinking of going with 26x2.3 nobly tyres for the winter, I probably won't be doing much cycling for the winter, but that's making me think twice!
The other test I did at the weekend was at 20 mph all the time no pedalling and got 25 miles from the 500 wh/hr pack. With wheels pumped to 90 psi.
It's amazing the amount of power required to go from 20 mph to 35-40!
