e-bike power

 e-bike maximum power draw 599watts

thanks to sir Joshua Valenzuela for the slomo iphone recording.
the e-bike is my brother's (Windell Shem G. Pasamba) w/c he got online for about $500. i just replaced the old battery with Lifepo4.

how much power from my office to my apartment (.7km), uphill?

starting voltage

arrival voltage
oh i pulled 13A max w/c is about 2.37C of 5500mah

mean voltage

peak watts


TE(?)

Ampere-hours used


charged the battery after one day use w/ no pedaling. from my apartment to my office and back. pure electric, no pedaling.

91.6watts / 48v = ~2a. or 0.36C rate max

36.8 WH is 
1000WH = 10 to 15 pesos
36.8/1000 * 10 = 0.368 pesos at php10/kwh charging cost
36.8/1000 * 15 = 0.552 pesos at php15/kwh charging cost
0.368 * 30 = 11.04 pesos / month charging cost
0.552 * 30 = 16.56 pesos / month charging cost


Lifepo4 48v 5500mah 16s cost is php120 per cell. php576 for BMS. ~php2500 whole battery pack.
2500/2000cycles = 1.25pesos / charge cycle (estimated 2k cycles) 
2500/600cycles = 4.66 pesos / charge cycle (other estimated cycles, high C rates, high / cold temperature)
2500/8000cycles = 0.3125 / charge cycle (if only 70%-30% used)

Summary: Charging cost for one day of no pedaling is 0.368 to 0.552 pesos, and 11.04 to 16.56 pesos per month.
