Chief eZee Operator
Hi,
The Panasonic system is excellent in its own way, eZee at one time several years ago looked to this for our bikes, but decided strategically that we must develop our own that is different if not better. Otherwise where would we be ? There is Kalkhoff, Flyer, Gazelle, Helkama, Raliegh, Monarch, Giant, etc, etc using the same.
What I am trying to do here is balance the informations (some bias to the extreme) flooding in very much in favour of the Panasonic system, it is one very small guy against many giants.
I have already made clear in the first place, there is no need for the Lycra brigade to charge to the finishing line, there are already a very big bunch of pros who made that stage of the TOB in 4 hrs 45 mins., and we (mere mortals) are talking about 8 hrs with 4 batteries for us ebike cyclist.
So for any meaningful information, we have to look at the physical fitness of the rider, and details of the electrical energy performance and hopefully work out what is from the body and what is from the battery over 112 miles. I figure a much longer trip with some hill challenges would be able to give a more accurate picture, rather than a 1 hr charge at the Presteigne.
It is of course sometimes a little difficult to write very clearly what's in one's mind, as I am not a professional writer. Let me try again, if I ride the Kalkhoff ( Assuming I have nothing to do with eZee ) I could not possibly make this 112 miles even in 10 hrs, there is simply not enough energy in the batteries for me 270wh x 4 , but with 370 x 4 , maybe I could just about make it, if I start to do some excercise and training now.
Best regards
W W Ching
