Battery Range
Battery Range:
The Battery pack range of any electrically powered vehicle is
very much dependant on type of duty cycle it is exposed to,
The Type of duty cycle is defined by the terrain “inclines or
flat” use and weight of “total payload" and aggressiveness of
drive (speed). Temperature can also reduce range when
reaching it extreme limits, tyre pressures can also dramatically
effect the vehicles efficiency
Our range predictions are based on a 85kg payload operating
on the flat over a one tenth of a mile acceleration to full speed
and brake with turn around at each end
Under these conditions the ranges are
One battery pack (up to max 13mph speed) returns up to 18
miles range
Two battery packs (up to max 25mph & increased
acceleration) returns up to 30 miles range
Three battery packs (same as two packs) returns up to 42
miles range
Factors that decrease the range of your vehicle:
• Acceleration. The faster you accelerate the more quickly you will
deplete the stored electricity in your battery pack. In addition to
this the more often you accelerate the more power you will
consume.
• Weight. Adding weight to the vehicle will require the motors to
work harder and therefore use more power reducing the range
expectancy of your vehicle
• Speed. Higher speeds require more power, the faster you travel
the more quickly you will deplete your battery
• Tyres. low tyre pressures will also reduce the range of the vehicle
How to improve the range of your vehicle:
• Accelerate steadily, avoiding full throttle acceleration and build
up to the required speed gradually
• Avoid carrying unnecessary weight on the vehicle
• Maintaining a constant speed is more economical than stopping
and starting over the same distance
• Drive conservatively when you require the maximum range from
your battery pack
