In a hypothetical situation, let's say that you saved up about $1000 to put in your ebike. This money allows you to choose a LiFePO4 battery.
Whatever money you don't use from the $1000, you can put back into savings, pay bills, or buy other parts (e.g. disk brakes, etc.)
Let's say that for the sake of argument you are running a Crystalyte 408 motor, and can buy either:
1) 60V 10Ah LiFePO4 battery, $550, 13lbs., range around 18-20 miles, top speed 27 mph, $0.91/Watt
2) 60V 15Ah LiFePO4 battery, $750, 20lbs., range around 28-31 miles, top speed 27 mph, $0.83/Watt
3) 72V 10Ah LiFePO4 battery, $730, 16lbs., range around 22-25 miles, top speed 32 mph, $1.01/Watt
4) 72V 15Ah LiFePO4 battery, $900, 24lbs., range around 33-38 miles, top speed 32 mph, $0.83/Watt
5) Screw the battery, buying beer and lobster instead, see ya!
Which would you choose if given these options?
