alt Hacker NewsOn my ebike the power consumption goes to zero when traveling faster than 25kph because then the engine is not allowed to assist you past that speed.
Anyway, if you use high power settings due to your bad leg, I understand. With assist set to low or even medium, you can get a lot more than 55km out of a 500Wh battery.
Yes, but this is an S-Pedelec, top speed is 43 and then the assist goes completely off and I am not strong enough to maintain that speed without assist for more than a few minutes on this bike.
With assist set to low or medium I would end up with a hospital visit after a single ride. I have half an Ikea in my right leg, two 40 cm long pieces of steel and a massive number of screws to hold it all together so I really can't risk another fall or overloading it.
