Hi all
I recently got my raptor 165 up and running and have been riding it to and from work.
It's running a crown tc80 with a 72v 18f 60a crystalyte controller (thanks to Jay from hyena for everything). The battery is a 25ah lithium ion that charges to 88v and I am using 26 inch wheel's.
Overall I am happy with how it rides but I thought it might be more efficient. Taking it easy on the way to work I am averaging 34km/h and getting 42wh per km. On the way home I decided to up the speed and this only saw a slight increase to 45wh per km. On both these trips I pedalled when accelerating as well.
Initially I thought I must be throttle happy but now that I have been riding for a week I can't figure out why riding flatout only uses a few watt hours more then taking it easy.
For the 30km trip I am using around 1400wh. Does this sound excessive?
The CA set at a 70a limit if that helps at all
Any help is appreciated as I am fairly new electric bikes coming from dirt bikes.
Thanks
