@rafaelinmissouri shared some interesting findings here The Carver... My final frontier - #210 by rafaelinmissouri
Very surprising that 200mm Kenda tires result in better wh/mile efficiency than 155mm metros. Seems like bigger tires with more rotational mass should be worse on efficiency. I don’t understand it.
I might swap kenda’s onto my TB AT wheels to see if I get the same result.
I’m also coming around to the idea of doing some real world testing / science.
- 12t vs 20t motor pulleys
- 10mm belts vs 15mm belts
Both tests would involve cruising at 20mph for a couple miles, starting from full battery pack to control for voltage. Anyone have predictions?
