Can you give us the maximum Amps drawn by your Minn Kota?

I eat Weetabix chocolat minis with muesli mixed in. Is this why I'm getting such great fuel economy? :confused: 43.5 mile Tony

Half of that price being the Li-Ion battery, you already have a battery (or two). If you want a brand new Minn Kota 24 V trolling motor you will be looking at $900+ and the batteries so much of a muchness... Bison trolling motor on ebay UK: "Battery choice? To power your electric outboard you...

This has been a thought provoking moment I am going to turn MAX Amps on my controller down to 10.5 A. That means I will be running the battery at 1C tops and at 36V nominal still be getting up to 378 Watts in assistance level 5. KD a good test would be to have the same bike ridden over the same...

Unfortunately it seems I am one of the unlucky few that burns below 8 W/km. On a good day a lot less. I have strong legs but shot lungs. My bike weighs 20.5 kg with the battery (the same 10.4 Ah one KD has). I am over 60. The wind blows from the North East... I can do 70 very hilly km on a full...

The specs of the 2015 Torqueedo battery are: 320 Wh 29.6 V 11 Ah The motor is 500W so I think that the 8.5 Amp frog battery will work just fine with a 12 V trolling motor which will be drawing far fewer Watts. In 2016 it looks like they have upgraded the 18650 cells because they now have 18 Ah

OK so I guess I am about to become an e-bike nerd, I just ordered the pair of 10000 Multistar lipos - 6 + 4S, a couple of alarms and a tester. I'll get the rest of the kit next week when fresh cash arrives wanted the batteries now in case they don't stay in stock long at that price. The...

http://batteryuniversity.com/ Here is some light reading for you :D Your frog battery holds 204 Wh you want to know how many Watts the motor uses per hour. That will give you your running time approximately. Many of your Watts will be wasted by going down to 12 V. Car batteries have huge Ah...

OK the prices have been updated on the Euro warehouse 83.29€ for a 10 Amp battery with all the kit just over 167€ for 20 Amps Are they just getting rid of the returned packs with duff cells? Old stock with too much shelf life? A mix of the above? I don't think I would complain too much about...

A cheap step down DC DC converter then. You will generate a bit of heat. 24 to 12 volt are quite common in the automotive world.

I'm probably going to have a go at the Nexus Inter 8. Not that I really need an around town friendly hub (the best feature for me is being able to change down when stopped) I do want something clean and out of the way. Maybe I'll mount a full chain guard. Test in German (Google translates so...

Here is the expensive option: http://www.montaguefoldingbike.co.uk/uk/folding_bikes/mountain/swissbike_x50 add the GSM kit of your choice, because their e-bike versions are Bionix so priced out of this world. You should still be able to squeeze in under £1100 if you don't need too big a...

Depending on the weather (shorts vs jeans) I manage 17-20 km/h average up both sides. When I started out in June I was riding up at 25 km/h but the cut off was set to 33 km/h which I understood at the time was the maximum speed the Mxus could deliver. Now you understand why my next build will...

Prices are different from the UK warehouse to the EU warehouse in Germany. Guess which is the cheapest? Yep UK warehouse wins most times around. I am trying to track down a decent AC powered charger I like these ones except for the price...

Gtech marketing people aren't stupid. You don't get a job in marketing in a big company if you are stupid. They know what they are doing I bet they did some market research before and they certainly are now - it is called a 14 day trial! They are doing a schoolbook entry into a new market (for...

I don't think I have ever been a cyclist even back in the day I was riding a retired Tour de France racing bike. It was always just a means of transport. Oh I could still appreciate the ride on those machines compared to a vanilla "bike", kind of like the difference between the Fiat Panda and...

:mad: Dave, Dave, Dave... Ah-ha! You might be catching on, how about "you don't need any gears on an e-bike" for certain riding conditions. Such as riding around a flattish city in a suit and tie...:rolleyes:

One hundred times better!!! :rolleyes: I have pumped up my tyres exactly 5 times since June 2015 and 2445 km and each time there was very little pressure missing.

I think that I have very strong kiwi farmers son legs. When I walk I often walk marathon distances with very little effort (42 km @ 6 km/h = 7 hours). The motor helps me control body temperature and makes the ride enjoyable not some kind of living hell. Remember this is my means of transport not...
