In today’s video, we’re going to be taking this folding fat tire ebike on a trail only range test. This is not going to be another cookie cutter range test where I carelessly drain the battery to zero in an unpractical attempt to give you a number. Instead, I’m going to give you numbers for realworld situations for somebody who actually cares about the longevity of their bike. Although the trail ride in this video is not something I would consider to be pushing the bike to its limits, it’s certainly something you wouldn’t do every day. However, we’re going to practice some techniques that won’t stress the battery or motor, and you could expect to repeat this many times. If you’re new to electric bikes or considering getting one, there’s some important information in this video that you should consider. These electric bikes are unique and there’s a special way you can take care of them to get them to last a very long time. Now, I’m by no means an expert on electric bikes, but the community is a wealth of information that I’ve gathered. And I also have years of experience working with lithium ion batteries, which is what’s used to power most, if not all, electric bikes. The bike we’ll be riding today is the Orion from WTVA bikes. WTVA did send us this bike for testing and to make some creative videos on. This will not affect our opinions and we will be addressing some concerns we had in our previous video. During the trip, I estimate that we used about 70% pedal assist and then I occasionally took a break on throttle only. Now, I chose to use a trail simply to take advantage of the fat tires on this bike. Admittedly, I could have gotten considerably more range on smooth streets, but if you purchased a fat tire bike, you probably had something like this in mind. I won’t spoil whether or not we made it back with power, but our planned trip was 15 miles out on trail only additional miles to get house to the trail. You can count it like during the ride, I’ll explain this, but I’ll also provide you with a chart that will help you out because it certainly helped me. So, let’s go ahead and jump into it. Before we get rid, I will address some concerns I had in my video lion. The amazing is the wheel size about 2 mph fast. So, I matched it up with my GPS. I did this right away so that I could have an accurate odometer reading. And including today’s adventure, we currently have 160 miles on the odometer. So far, the bike’s been a little tank. Now, I don’t abuse my bike, but I do put them through situations that most of you probably won’t. So far, the only issue I’ve had with the bike is that the headlight stopped working. I could have probably reached out to WTVA to get a new one, but honestly, the one that comes with the bike is pretty weak. I only find it useful at pedal assist level two, which is 12 mph. Beyond that, it’s just not bright enough to trust going any faster. So, because I planned on upgrading it anyways, not a big deal. The bike is certainly sturdy, so I wasn’t concerned about its integrity. However, I was concerned about the potential water exposure to the speed controller. It’s mounted in an exposed location and as far as I could tell at first, there was no waterproofing on this compartment. However, I was pleasantly surprised to open it up and find out that not only is the speed controller at the very least water resistant with silicone around the wires and silicone seal on the edges, but there is rain so that if water does get in here, it should slowly make its way out. With that being said, I was glad that I checked because we found some issues with the wiring. This compartment is relatively small for the speed controller and all the wires that need to go in here. And it turns out we’re rubbing up against the sidewalls and slowly eating away at the insulation. Now, I addressed this issue in my own way, but keep in mind this was only at about 130 m before we went on the adventure, and this amount of damage could have certainly caused a catastic issue down the road. To better protect the wires, I smoothed out any rough edges that they might catch on, and I added a bit of rubber between the speed controller and the wall of the compartment. After that task was complete, I wanted to address a little bit of noise that this bike was making. Some of the main cables run through these large loops. This was causing excessive rattling that bothered me. But I’m also glad that I checked this as well because it looks like some of the rubbing was getting into the insulation here as well. I use this bike mostly for short trips to and from work, but I have given it a handful of full throttle runs just for fun. I was pleasantly surprised to see that the XT60 connector showed no signs of heat damage. It came apart quite easily, but had enough resistance not to rattle itself loose. And the motor wire also same situation, no signs of heat damage. Our trip starts right around sunrise. In proper Louisiana fashion, we’re in the low 90s for today’s ride with our expected humidity around 80%. It’s going to be hot. For our relaxed style of riding, these temperatures won’t affect the speed controller or motor, but they can actually give you a slight boost in your batteries performance, but it’s never a good idea to keep one of the battery. This won’t affect us, but I do want to emphasis on how important it is not to store one of these lithium ion batteries in a vehicle on a hot day, as these high temperatures can push the batteries voltage past it critical threshold and cause severe damage, if not worse. You can’t keep me from my train. I will find a way to All right. So, begin our turn. Used a tiny bit of pedal assist to get here, but nothing special. So, for this really rough catch, we’re just going to use pedal assist one. Go through here pretty slow because But this I think it’s two miles. We’ll go ahead and kick up the speed a little bit. No helmet today simply because it’s going to be really hot. I’m going to be up trail the whole time not dealing with crap. This is a pretty flat well kept trail. I’m not pushing high speeds. That is some loose gra. I know I can be a bit of a broken record, but I absolutely love the sound of rubber over rock. The camera actually do it. If you’ve ever tried to ride next to a railroad track as that’s what this used to be. Everyone’s choice of riding style is going to be different, but for me, when it comes to electric bikes, I like to help the motor whenever I can to extend the range. But I do have one rule for today’s trip. I have to stay as comfortable as possible. Essentially taking advantage of this actually being an electric bike. I’m not allowed to break a sweat. Um, this type electrics smooth flat roads are really efficient. This is going to be 100% trail running pretty much just in sand. This is going to make a big difference. I can’t wait till they finish this trail. Fall in there. But in case any of you guys are wondering, this is what we’re on. Just over 60 miles if you do the whole thing. When uh this section finish, I think they bump it up to 65. Oh, railroad marker. I’m going to assume that just that it crosses a road. Took me about 2 and a half miles. Remember, I’m on a fat tire bike. I don’t have to ride all that gravel if I don’t want to. Trail, not much better. The pine needles give a bit of cushion. Nice little improvement. coming aboard right the trail and what might be trail. I’m not sure, but I think it’s private. I think that says maybe there’s a here. So many right here. Slow enough. Be aware of your reaction. That long is slowing down a bit of a challenge. The bugs are really bad. They go straight to the back of my neck, too. I have an invader tire ceiling and flat. That’s going to suck. 51.5 volts. Looking good. I don’t know how well you guys can see it, but not only does they have a voltage readout, mileage, time, you also get a current readout. Current and voltage is actually really useful for ebike guys when you’re going on long trips. It gives you a better sense of the mad I come in in postuction and explain this as simple as possible. Or of course it would be a lot easier if they would just put a W on these displays. I have no idea why they don’t. You basically just take your battery and multiply it by how many amps you’re pulling. And since this readout has both a voltage and amp readout, we tell you what it is with our current trail conditions pulling at 51.5 volt. That’s 51.5 watts of power being used on average. In a moment, we’re going to bump it up to level three, which will put us at 18 miles an hour. But this small jump in speed significantly increases the amount of power used. We go three amps. So 3 * 51.5 is 154 watts. It’s a difference. This is a method you would use to estimate your range for companies who advertise their battery in W hours instead of amp hours. For the most part, this is just technical data for the advanced rider. That’s not too useful for anyone else. Now the degree of precision and accuracy in these readouts always questionable and there is efficiencies in the system, but you can actually use this method to estimate how many watts you’re giving to the bike as well. in your desired pedal assist level. Spin the pedals without applying any pressure, essentially letting the motor do all the work. Take your readings and then begin applying pressure to the pedals as you normally would. Take your new rings, subtract, and you go. You have the amount of watch you’re giving to the bike as well. Is it useful? Probably not. Is it entertaining? Definitely. In my opinion, the only important piece of information you need to know to how much range you have left is your battery voltage. And Always take voltage readings while you’re up to speed and unload. Now, for bikes with different voltage batteries, there are different charts, but because the 48vt system is the most common, I’ll leave a link in the description to this very simple bit of information that will help you out if you’re new to ebikes. In the beginning of the video, I stated that this is a range test for people who actually care about the longevity of their bike. And this is important because these batteries really do not like to be drained to their minimum capacity. So, this information and using the char to have a 20% battery buffer at the end of my trip. not only would give us a reserve in case ran into any unexpected detours, but more importantly, it would bring it in here. You guys needed cheeseburger. Cheeseburger. [Music] All right, back at the perfect location. It’s just the right size. very pedal assist will keep you at a certain speed. There are modles that have dynamic power delivery where the throttle or the pedal assist will apply as much power needed or as much power as it has available to keep you at that speed that kind of dynamic power delivery system. on stock equipment where you’re not tempering with the tank should be fine. This one has an amperage control system. You’ll notice now we’re in pedal assist our speed a little bit. We’re at 11.8. The controller doesn’t target its pedal assist levels. What is this time volt? So as the battery voltage drop the controller is still going to do a simple unscrew They will just keep applying more feed power to the motor to try and keep you at that target speed. So the over the battery would have dropped in voltage the control and that 8.6 miles. Let’s go 13.7 miles. We got 13.7 and my voltage is at 40.4. on my chart told myself that I should turn around at 48.6 back up a little bit. So, we’re still bouncing around 48.6, which is, if my math is right, they use 40% battery. So, I’m going to go ahead and see if I can at least get 15 miles here, which we’re coming up on. So, that means on the way back a 30 mile round trip of riding. So ideally we want to be home at 44.2 vol battery remaining. All right. That’s 15 miles one direction. We’re going to go ahead on Google so we can double check our range. Make everything right. and touch. Okay, this is the 33 north that we’re intersecting. Little biting flies are everywhere. I get moving again. had enough power to. So, there you have it, guys. 30 mile round trip on this. pretty impressive in my opin street. But under those riding conditions where there’s a lot of drag on the bike, I don’t think she had much left. And again, this is a practical range test where we’re not draining the battery completely, which is just something you’re not supposed to do. Anyways, we got home, examined the bike, everything looked good. She handled it like a little tank. As far as the frame, motor, and battery is concerned on this bike. I’m impressed. However, I feel they need to address the cable management system. cramming the controller in the frame like that be a liability for sure. So, I hope you guys got some useful information out of today’s video or at the very least for mildly and next time. Hey riders, welcome to my channel. There are many amazing available.
