I was riding with a friend at a local park today, and we kept seeing guys on expensive road bikes cruising around. I just got my 12s dual setup locked in and tuned, so I decided to have some fun with them. I waited until I saw the perfect road biker zooming up behind us and then slowed down, and hid my remote. He passed us going around 20, and I let him get a bit of a head start before I went hard on the throttle, and caught up to him. I reached him in no time, and after giving me a confused look, eh asked me the usual questions (built or bought, top speed, etc.) I did this with two or three other cyclists, and it was a hoot each time. Highly recommend!
Tl;dr I trolled guys on road bikes, and caught up with them. It was fun
Yep it is fun! i unintentionally ended up in the middle of a triathlon the other dayā¦ oh well! The bikes have no chance, i think i can outrun a scooter on mine lol
My best moment was when a I overtook a cyclist up the hill. I could read his thoughts - why is a guy, standing upright, not moving keeping up with me? Oh heās on a skateboardā¦ Hey, there is something wrong here! We are not riding down the hill, this is an incline - whatās wrong with the gravity today? Then i pushed down the throttle and left the guy standingā¦ Always great fun, especially when the cyclists take it serious and ride in full Tour de France outfit on a high spec bike.
@Okami yep itās data for 2 so itās probably more like 80A. I have seen it at 70amps and above when going uphill on grass so it would me 140 for 2 vesc.I did 20kph ish on the side walk one way then came back faster along the road. Normal range is about 12km at 20 - 30kph on 2 6s 5000mah lipoās in series motors are 192kv. Unsure of the actual watts on coulometer at 50kpH Iāll check next me, but Iāma guess 42.1Ć23.8 =1,001.98 so like 1000watt per motor at 50kpH?
that sounds about rightā¦ i usually see anywhere form 1000 to 1200 watts per VESC when accelerating hard on my street board when i have the bluetooth in.
And in that moment, all the work of building my board was worth it. No more waiting 15 minutes for a late bus, only for it drive right past you because it was āfullā
They look something like 8āā alphas to me but i might also be wrong
ā
@longhairedboy from what you are saying, it makes me think that the extra motor (dual drive), just helps to āāstabilizeāā the board, allowing it accelerate up the hill at a faster pace than a single drive wouldā¦
Hence, this is why duals are also better suited for hills, because both motors can output what they are capable of, not like with single drive, where one motor starts to strain/struggle a bit when trying to push harder and harder, since you direct 2 horses at once, so to speakā¦
Though I dont own a vesc, so these might as well just be my controllerās settings which limit the power output on hills, because it is also un-sensored setup
I have witnessed 2kw on my wattmeter only once when accelerating very hardā¦ for hills and general acceleration, usually no more than 1kw is used ā¦ though I will shamefully agree that I can feel that there could be more acceleration than there currently isā¦when going up a slope / incline at that 800-1000w of power.
I like to sip on a glass of aged scotch, or fine wine while wearing a suit (both of which cost more than their bike), while talking loudly to my stock broker about EXACTLY how much money Iāve already made that day at my non-working job as a professional asshole. Iām kind of like this guy, but slightly more handsome.
what was the total wattage (power) when you went 50kph?
unless u were at walking speed for a few kilometers
