| Motor | EnerTrac 604 Hi Speed Winding Brushless DC 30kW HUB Motor - I highly recommend. This is a nice motor. | ||
| Drivetrain | Enertrac Hub Motor | ||
| Controller | Kelly KHB12401 Controller #3: July 2015 Kelly KHB12401,24- 120V,400A,Opto BLDC Controller/With Regen. Set at 150A maximum (16kW to protect against my EGO). Installed at 12,900 miles on Odometer. Controller #2: After 9,000 miles Kelly KBL09401B burned out in July 2015 after applied too much voltage from new Chevy Volt Battieres. Specs were: Waterproof, 400A, 24- 96V - Set at 120 amp max. to protect batteries Controller #1: Kelly KBL12271, 24-120V, 270A, Burned out by riding it over two "5 mile hills" in a row after 3,900 miles in the bike. Was programmed at 120A Max. | ||
| Batteries | 28 Chevy Volt, 4.05 Volt, Lithium-Ion www.schultzengineering.us/delta-11- 12.htm Chevy Volt Batteries custom reconfigured to have 28 Cells (100V-112V operating range). Carry 1 or 2 45AH packs of 106V Nominal. Original Batteries were Enginer Real-Force: a7.6 kw-hr. 80 amp hour @ 96 volt Recommended 1C discharge max. But, I programmed controller to take 1.5C (12kW) max and batteries have been taking it OK. I recharge normally at .2C, but sometimes at .4C. In practice, I've never taken more than 5.2 kw-hour out of it during ride. That is to say, that is all this pack has ever been capable of giving in this application. | ||
| System Voltage | 112 Volts | ||
| Charger | Enginer (4) Four, 15 Amp, 55 Volt Chargers Recharge rate is 38 miles per hour (when ridden at commuter speeds). Recharge time is typically 1:15. Can recharge at J1772, any four 120VAC outlets, RV30 and RV50 outlets. 2 of my chargers are 110/220 so I can charge at chargepoints with those. 2 of my chargers are 110 only, so I have to find chargepoints that have level 1 and Level 2 to take advantage of faster charging. Sometimes will charge using two Chargepoint stations. I'll plug into the J1772 with two of my chargers at Level 2. Then plug into Level 1 outlet on one Chargepoint, and a Level 1 outlet on the second Chargepoint station. For 110V charging I either plug into a different circuit outlet for each charger (each charger draws 10A at 110V). At home, I've rigged an RV50 Plug that has a pigtail with 4 110V outlets coming out of it so it's easy to run all four chargers at once. I have each charger on a timer so that I can drop out 2 of the chargers early and not come in hard and fast to top off the batteries. Note: Fast charging does seem to put the batteries out of balance much more quickly than slow charging. Normally, I only have to balance my batteries once per 3,000 miles. | ||
| Heater | Only ride when above 32 degrees F (to avoid ice), so with warm clothing it is fine. Bodywork keeps you out of the wind. | ||
| DC/DC Converter | Sevcon 48 Volt -> 12Volt. Tapped from 1/2 of battery pack | ||
| Instrumentation | Cycle Analyst - I Love it! Volt, Amp Meter, Voltage logging with Enginer BMS, Cell Log 8s KillAWatt EZ meters used for monitoring FROM THE WALL recharge energy Also, get data from Chargepoint Charge stations when charge there. | ||
| Top Speed | 74 MPH (119 KPH) On Flat road, no wind, with front fairing on, black max toolbox on rear, 76 deg. F. | ||
| Acceleration | Good at 12kW setting. Keeps up with commuter traffic acceleration. | ||
| Range | 60 Miles (96 Kilometers) 60+ miles at 55mph 100+ miles at 35mph My average trip distance is 39.5 miles. See power to speed chart for more information on energy usage. | ||
| Watt Hours/Mile | 99 Wh/Mile Cycle Analyst: 57 WH/Mile @ 35 mph (100 mile ride) 80 WH/Mile @ 45-50 mph (55 mile ride) 96 Wh/Mile Average from the wall for first 12,000 miles. From the wall, Fuel Log for Lifetime: www.ecomodder.com/forum/em-fuel-log.php? vehicleid=6947 Kill-A-Watt EZ FROM THE WALL: 100 WH/Mile Average FROM WALL for 3,200 miles ridden in 2012 at normal commuting speeds and acceleration. Average Trip distance = 41 miles, Average Trip Speed = 38 mph 85 WH/Mile overall average for 1,975 miles ridden in 2011 season with nose on. Average trip distance 39.5 miles. FROM THE WALL Determined by dividing watts used to charge with Kill-A-Watt meter divided by miles traveled. | ||
