What's your range?

Usually get around 10 miles on 10S 5Ah Lipo generally top out around 20mph and average around 12mph on most trips. Longest single trip I’ve taken was 10 miles, could really get about 12 or maybe a bit more but would need to be extra conservative about it. Interested to try a distance run sometime in the next few days actually can pack up my extra set of batteries and swap out at the end of the ride (probably use the old ones first to make sure I get home :slight_smile: )

Around 15 miles when riding hard
35miles(+?) when cruising
13s6p

My range really just depends on my mood

4.5km on my 12s2p :smile: (Yes, urethane wheels lol)

But that’s in hilly Scotland; in Latvia it’s more around 6km. My cells are only 1.5Ah, for those wondering.

I got around 25 km on my 10s3p 30Q Foosted build :slight_smile:
Average riding speed is around 15-20 kph as i use this board for commuting daily :+1:

never been brave enough to try anything more than about 30% throttle. If I stand on it, I can (slowly) pull my car…

very true – it drops to 52v right after first 10 secs, but stays between there and 48 forever.

That’s also been my experience with LiFePO4. The 12S charges to 43.8V but instantly drops to about 39.7V and stays above 38.5V until it’s almost dead when it quickly goes into the 37s and 36s. But when you pull current it sags to 36V almost regardless of charge level. Which ironically makes it feel like it’s not sagging.

The furthest I’ve gone is 17.5 miles. Psychotiller 10s6p. Dual 6374s. 18/38t on 107s. I’m at about 225 with pads. Still said 30% on meter.

I just finished my 10s4p 30q pack and was able to get 14 miles with ~ 35% left on the Enertion app. So theoretical range around the 18-22 mile mark makes me very happy with my decision to go for the 10s4p config :slight_smile:

How do you know if your battery is running low? Seeing as it quickly stoops and doesn’t show a normal deteriorating voltage, it seems like a typical battery voltage meter and the 1st stage voltage cutoff from the vesc cannot spare you much time to get yourself hauled back to base/destination without damaging the cells before you could notice.
What do you use to check your % mid ride Brian? @b264

I’ve gotten 2.7 miles off of a 6s 2200mAh lipo running a gear ratio of (18/40) 2.2) on 97mm flywheel clones and a mono drive 6384 ‘China special‘ motor on a 4.12 flipsky esc.
Topped out at around 17-18 right off the charger, but that ride was probably cruising at around 12 mph the whole time.

You took a 3 hour long ride!?

what esc are you using? :o

these things

But after you ride your skate for a long time, you and the machine become one, and you just know how far it goes. You can feel when the high cutoff happens and if you’ve got it set right, you can easily go for a couple miles before you’re empty so I’ve not been stranded because of that. Ever. Range anxiety is a very, very, very real thing. But for me anyway, getting stuck away from home with a dead battery seems to be a nonexistant thing. Range anxiety is more a mental problem than a physical problem. Especially considering a $10 Lyft ride is in your pocket at all times… if you’d ever be totally stuck.

On my 12s1p lipo pack (5000mAh) packs, I got about 15 mi at the beginning, 1000 miles in, they got around 10. I just got a new pack 12s1p with 5800mAh packs, so we shall see how well that does.

On the FrankenWheel, I got 15 miles EASY with absolutely shredding the battery, hill climb after hill climb, and we’re talking 20% grade hills. This runs an 8s6p pack of the Landwheel lithium polymer pouches. At the end of that range test, I still had 35% battery left, so I would imagine cruising I could get 25mi plus.
