I know this has been discussed previously but i can't seem to find the discussion on the forum.
I am trying to find out what the typical usage is for a bike under full throttle per mile in watts.
Obviously this depends on the motor, whether there are hills , rider weight etc.., but an average figure is ok.
I saw somewhere that going flat out a bike would draw something like 95w per mile. Other sites seems to think 40w is more reasonable.
What do we think?
I was looking at picking up a watts up type device to check the battery capacity, ideally i want to know what power the motor is drawing so i may need to buy something a bit more specialist like a cycle analyst.
Additionally is it possible to limit the power the motor can draw, therefore limiting the speed, so you can go full throttle but know there is a limit to how much power the motor will draw.
