Well, here is an introduction video to ebike maps trip simulator. I hope you can understand that it can do much more than a map for ebike rider. You can test it without registering, however, the application need to know more about you and your ebike to provide the best estimate of travel time and battery state over an edited trip into the map.You want my email address so I can view a map? Least I think it's a map. I'm not likely to ever know. I use other sites that can do this without hurdles
yes, I would like to do it. However, I also need to introduce a wind direction N/S/E/W such that I compute automatically if this is a headwind or a tailwind. It is in the TODO list but not the priority...1) Is there any way to enter "headwinds"? If not, do you plan to add a "headwind" feature?
Yes, this is the overall idea. We have a few options to do that. I hope that with the web application, we can set up what is needed, what is important... Once we have validated all this, we can focus on developing Smartphone application to help you in the middle of your trip. I am also working on some model optimization process based on post trip analysis with GPS, cycle analyst and analogger device.2) Is it possible to access the web app with a smartphone so WHILE YOU ARE RIDING, you can compare the PLAN you generate with the ACTUAL trip?
YES: Being able to add recharge points is vitally important. Please give it the ability to memorize charging points as grindz145 suggested.
As I said, we are working on it. In fact, I am pretty exited that we could use Ebike Maps to collect a very large database of charging points. With powerful chargers, I guess that it opens a lot of new opportunity for the future of ebike trips without having to pay the price and weight of very large battery pack .Do I need faster charging capability before I try the trip? The answer is YES YES YES.
Another fine idea to emerge on the ES-forum. Have to say that's been a dilemma for me - enough battery for a long distance trip. Thing is all that extra capacity costs$$$$$ and is not really used that often. Battery rental could solve that. 72V 100ah would do it for me.evelorution said:I would like to introduce the new website I am working on Ebike Maps......
-to develop optimized battery renting system (rent the right battery for big trips).
Another piece of data that would be good to have are locations that provide eBike charging. Some places (like Starbucks) already provide outlets for their customers. I'm thinking a Starbucks outlet, but outside for safe, easy charging access. Providing locations could come with the benefit of advertising for those places. Perhaps also some advocacy for public charging stations, and cities that do that as a public good....overall long term goal would be to build a database containing accurate models of many available ebikes such that "normal" "non ebike geek" rider can also accesse to accurate prediction. Once again, this is just a beta and thus it is available mostly for advanced testing :wink: .
Thanks a lot in advance for your feedback.
I bielieve that it is becoming even more realistic with the good cells power density improvment in the last years. One rental service could have e.g. a few 48V10Ah batteries which can deliver up to 40A. Depending on the planned trip, the user could rent between 1 and 4 batteries. This might be kind of convenient.Another fine idea to emerge on the ES-forum. Have to say that's been a dilemma for me - enough battery for a long distance trip.

Another cool feature (I know this is completely off track) but I would love to be able to add plug (charging) locations to the map around town.

Here is a video of the Point Of Interest (POI) Mananger. I hope that Ebike Maps is handy enough to start to build a nice database of available chargin spots around the world 8) .Another piece of data that would be good to have are locations that provide eBike charging.

We have added the possibility to click directly on the map and word completion when you type an adress . Manage your POI on eBikeMaps.I had to give up on it the way things are at present.
Ahhhh, that's much better. Not quite a custom lat/long reference, but referencing a click to a postal address is probably the next best thing. It solved my problem of not knowing the address I wanted to add anyway.evelorution said:We have added the possibility to click directly on the map and word completion when you type an adress .

Now you should have 100 :wink:. However, we need to give a serious thought about how to avoid someone to input random POI... In the meantime, we limit to 10 the number of POI and we can increase to 100 on demand.Just a thought for the POI allowances: Should public points count towards a users limit? If the aim is to reveal and map my charging locations for the good of your user base (and hopefully receive the same in return), setting a limit on my efforts totally disincentivises me from doing so.
Here should be a more appropriate ebike profile according to this information. You can directly add it to your bike list (See "Add to my list" on the right).I would need more information about the motor model voltage constant and winding resistance to increase the model accuracy :wink:. We definitively need to build a serious database of existing ebikes. Everyone can share his ebike profile with everyone (see the "Share this bike" blue blutton in the bikes list tab).I put in the details for a 2011 Zero S motorcycle. 135kg, 10kW and top speed 110km/hr with a 60Ahr useable battery at 48V nominal. I weigh 71kg. I select bike type as 'mountain bike' and tried both hub direct drive motor and geared motor as this is the closest of the types you offer. I don't have a cycle analyst connected yet so can't give you real world statistics from a set ride to compare it against a ride I plot on your simulator. Doctorbass has recorded results from his Zero 2011 DS, which is very similar. At 100km/h he consumed 96Wh/km, at 90km/h = 80Wh/km, at 80km/h = 67wh/km, 70km/h = 57.5WH/km, 60km/hr = 48Wh/km, at 50km/h = 39Wh/km, at 40km/hr = 30.5Wh/km, 30km/hr = 26Wh/km.
Indeed, speed limitation would be easy to integrate into the simulator but is an expensive information at least if you want to get it from Google. We need more time to work on this problem. In the mean time, that is why it is not working well with high power ebike.your program does not seem to take into account the road speed limits
