last but not least wheel diameter (in case of hub motors which put less strain/wear on the mechanical drive train) plays into how efficiently those Newton meters actually propell the vehicle forward. The smaller the wheel the sooner rotation and efficient rpm can be achieved. I have a rickshaw which often amounts to a total system weight of 600+kg, but with a geared hub motor in my 16 inch front wheel I'm getting the most when starting the race at the green light at Octoberfest outrunning my colleagues with 200kg less who are running the same 250W nominal system on slimmer tires but with 26 inch diameter. (it might also have to do with me being the GOAT in rickshaw racing but don't tell them that ; )
@clivewilliams3661

In UK (and EU) the max continuous power output is 250W for an electrically assisted bicycle but if you want a higher output bike then that is classed as an electrical moped i.e. a motorbike driven by a motor and pedals. The issue with this comes from the requirement that to be an electrical moped it needs to be type approved or to have an 'Individual Vehicle Approval' to show that it complies with UK/EU vehicle build laws and that it will also need to be licenced, taxed and insured for a minimum third party cover. The rider must also wear an approved i.e. motorcycle crash helmet and preferably protective clothing and although not mandatory, the police might pull you over for inappropriate wear if you had classic Lycra shorts and top on.

1:27 Yep, a big 10 ton trolleybus has an electric motor rated at 100kW. That low! But that is the continuous power. And trust me, during acceleration from standstill, the motor drives much more current than 175A (runs at 600V). That is the reason why there are components limiting maximum current, as the motor would happily take all it can get. And yet, differentials and axle reductions wear out sooner on trolleybuses than on buses. And if the regulator malfunctions, a trolleybus can easily do a burn-out on a dry paved street. Of course, do it three dimes and you can replace the whole axle, if the CV joints on the shaft between the motor and differential do not break sooner. Or you blow the circuit breaker in the trolleybus (should break around 380A, but that is only theoretical) or you trip the breaker in the electrical substation feeding the section where you draw your power from. If you had no protection circuits and a very powerful source, applying 600V directly into the motor would most likely result in lightnings flying out of it and ripping it from the frame of the trolleybus, destroying everything between it and the wheels of the driven axle(s).

Very good explanation of "power". Keeping it simple using VA can help those not familiar with end to end input to output and the various losses along the way. Something to consider is the fully charged battery versus the nearly discharged battery. Power is greatest when the battery is fully charged and is minimal with a mostly discharged battery.

During my studies for electrical engineering the lecturers told me that the advertised motor power is usually mechanical. the mechanical power is calculated by multiplying angular velocity and torque. Mechanical power is the power you get from motor. The power you were talking about was electrical or the input power.

If you could do a shift extra each week at work, you may be able to save up the $150 needed for the motor and controller in a short time Or wash cars or Windows for money. Or now lawns

Well, for those like me, haha, I was unable after welding batteries purchasing BMS's to be able to understand exactly how that final S series was counted. It finally hit me after going back to basics, watching these very easy to follow builds. That, the final S count that I was always missing was: the very first battery that has both the positive and negative going to it, even though it wasn't exactly making an S series connection, was the very last counted Series battery. Maybe very easy for everyone else, but had been banging my head around that for months. So, Thank you so very much for helping me stop feeling so stupid and knowing for sure I knew how to correctly look for and buy the correct BMS for the battery builds I was doing.

WOW, Thanks a lot! As a retired electrician, Your explanation clicked 100%. Something else I see is batteries being rated in watts with no reference to amp hours. Often digging for other sources, I find the '360 watt' battery is 48V and doing the math get 7.5AH which is kinda small... Just liked/subscribed and bookmarking this video!
@Sarge92
@Sarge92 Год назад
im unsure tbh 360 watt would refer to the motor power the battery should be rated in AH however what I think might be going on here is for reasons I don't know they could be rating the battery in watts referring to the motor its suitable for for example calling a 32 volt battery a 250-320w battery because that's what you mostly use for those and calling a 42v battery a 500-700 watt battery with a 72v battery being a 1000+ watt battery for reference my bike is specced as follows 350w motor 32v battery 11.5ah battery if we wanna rate my battery in W/h as opposed to A/h my battery is 368W/h in capacity but generally when it comes to ebikes if its talking amps there referring to the AH of the battery if there talking watts its almost always the rating for the motor and volts being what the battery is delivering there's a whole thing for over voting the motors to get a lil extra performance as well as going for higher voltage batterys to reduce charge times as all chargers are limited by there amp ratings so upping the voltage is a easy way to get more watt hours into the battery faster without pushing more amps I've even seen some ellect to install 72v batteries and regulate them down to 32 to benefit from having a smaller battery and faster charge times but still having the range a larger lower volt battery gives them
@johnw65
@johnw65 Год назад
@@Sarge92 That's a lot to wrap one's head around... I note that 'A' also refers to controller ratings. We could really confuse things saying my T42 is only 1.1 KVA peak... If a controller is rated up to 72V and being used on a 48V hub, what's the risk of going in series with a 12V agm with the 48V li-ion to get 60V operating voltage?
@StefanMikulski
@StefanMikulski Год назад
The battery rating in Wh is more honest than giving A*h, as the Wh charge actually defines the amount of energy stored in the battery. A good comparison factor is the battery consumption in Wh/km or Wh/mi. Giving only Ah rating (without the voltage) is deceitful. Giving Wh is honest. Big brands always give the battery rating in Wh as not to deceive the customer.
@johnw65
@johnw65 Год назад
@@StefanMikulski You say "Giving only Ah rating (without the voltage) is deceitful".... I submit, So is Wh - (without the voltage). 360WH could be 36V 10AH or 48V 7.5AH... Speed comes from voltage. VA's or Watts is actually 'power' giving an idea of how long a load will run. Or, in the case of a motor, it's hp rating since 742W=1hp.
@StefanMikulski
@StefanMikulski Год назад
@@johnw65 speed comes from voltage? How comes my 36V Specialized Turbo Vado 6.0 can get at 45 km/h (28 mph) while a derestricted 48 V Specialized Turbo Vado SL can only get at 34 km/h (21 mph)? No, the voltage is irrelevant here. Speed comes from the motor power, which is mechanical 520 W peak in the former and mechanical 240 W in the latter. The speed also affects the battery energy draw. That's why the former battery is 604 Wh (36 V 16.7 Ah) and the latter is 320 Wh (48V 6.6 Ah).

Yes & Motors have torque & power curve. A hub motor may find life hard turning slowly on a steep hill & heat up fast, but a mid drive is geared crank speed, so should be in the middle of its design range hill or flat. & its also important to remember the gearing factor difference between Torque for a hub motor & a geared mid drive.
@FlyingFun.
@FlyingFun. 3 года назад
Good info, been messing with ebike for a while and came to these ame conclusions. However I have also read that torque numbers can be fudged and interpreted differently so also not a reliable number to focus on. Best bet is to look at all the numbers together and also look through forums etc to see what people are saying about a particular motor you are interested in. Mid drive is tempting me but for reliability I just convertedmy mountain bike with full suspension to 1kw hub drive and it's a nice powerful fast ride.
@LordManhattan
@LordManhattan 3 года назад
Sooo.. My Super73 SG1 (EU version of the S1), has a nominal rating of 250W, which is the maximum allowed wattage in Europe. The motor also says 250W etc. However, having a 48V battery, and the controller's current is rated at 10A with a maximum current of 20A, it's very obvious that this is a 500W motor with a peak at almost 1000W, which is the same as the original American S1. The European version is electronically limited though, but I've unlocked it by plugging the US throttle in, and I'll just say that if this is "250W", then it's the most powerful 250W motor in existence 🤣 Ain't complaining though!

Great video! Really brings some clarity to this consfusing subject. One question, since the battery voltage fluctuates, (for example my 60V battery is around 69,7V when fully charged), shouldn't the peak power be calculated using the maximum voltage times the maximum amp draw? Thank you!

Thanks, here in the UK, as you say we have 250w continuous, I am very happy for the manufacturers to allow us to overamp their motors for more power, they know we will not burn them out at say 750 watts for a reasonable time. I may be wrong, but I think the Bafang 250, and 350 are the same motor but different controllers to allow more power. It is a way of giving us a good product and stay within regs, a point you made well.

only danger with overamping would be being involved in an accident having your bike looked at by a sworn expert making you liable for operating an illegal motor vehicle. The bike squads in Germany are no fools and are regularly making examples of obviously overpowered "250W"ebikes (which could be legal if they had a moped plate and all the other items required for fast ebikes)

@@velotillthis is why the laws are a bit dumb. What should really happen is there should be a law on use of peak power to allow fast starts and uphill runs tied to the amount of torque provided by the rider. Fast starts for 10 seconds up to 10 kmph on flats (until you pedal past it) and during cornering to get you out of trouble and when hitting an incline allowing the peak power to stay on for as long as you provide enough torque to keep up to the maximum speed llmit of 25 kmph.

In finland can be 1000w but 25/kmh. But you have to pay insurance if the bike's power exceeds 250w or if it goes pedalless.

thanks, awesome video, very thoughtful and very nice of you how you explained how companies don’t actually lie but in fact what they do is to comply to the estates regulations and just create misconceptions of legit information of the tag/specs readings. Just can’t appreciate enough bro. have an awesome life. 👌👍👍

Nice informative presentation. A couple comments. 1) Does anyone know if the motor manufactures are specifying a maximum continuous stall torque, something else? 2) In shopping for a ebike, I calculated the miles and elevation I would typically be doing here in Portland Oregon. It came out to 70 miles a week and 4,000' vertical feet. The dealers that addressed that issue were unanimous is saying"you need the biggest motor and battery you can afford", and then advised it will probably come up short on my hilliest days.

Good day to you as far i can understand on your explanation tha combination i have to run a motor hub is way not to good, i purchase a 48v 350 motor hub and using a 48v 500w controller and power it with 48v 13s 4p 16850 battery, please recommend the good combination with this voltage. Thank you
