Hi after having a go at poor old Scott with his flu germ yesterday<he did manage to wriggle out of the questions pretty well>i thought i would tell you how i regularly get between 35and 39 miles on my day trips out<can you do better>on the torque with one batt.First off my bike is fitted with a Watts Up Meter which measures amps being used or you have consumed<or watts> an absolutely brilliant bit of kit despite what Flec says about meters, so much so i would not take a bike with a lithium battery out without one and cycle any distance. Second i am not in a time trial, and go at a leisurely pace cycling on the flat without motor assistance,there is a part on the torques throttle
just before your motor makes that horrible strained sound ,if you do not open your throttle past the strained sound your motor will draw between half an amp and 4 amps,of course i open the throttle for inclines.I regularly cycle the Wirral Penininsula it is reasonably flat, and admit this method would not work in a hilly area or if you were in a hurry cycling to work,but in the end the distance you can travel is determined by how you manage your battery power and the amount of work you are prepared to put in.The meter tells you when to lay off the power and cycle more so your batt will get you home. This method does not seem to work if your bike is derestricted ,i can only assume i subconsciously open the throttle more.
