Power Output Information
Power can be measured in watts. Your electric bike power can be calculated by multiplying the number of amperes and the voltage used. Amperes is a unit of current. A volt is a measure of voltage used. Therefore, the product of current and voltage can tell us the actual power consumed. We generally need power in an order of several hundred watts. This much power is sufficient for a cyclist to ride, for a reasonable duration of time.
In order to be useful, the motor is supposed to generate one hundred watts of power on an average. The peak power capacity can go up to four hundred watts at max. But if you are living in a hilly area and want better power generation, you should prefer a battery with a peak power generation of about six hundred watts. For smooth roads, power generation up to two hundred watts is more than adequate. The capacity of your battery is normally calculated in number of amperes flowing per unit time i.e. current. Your power generations can vary attributable to many issues. Things like battery maintenance, temperature conditions, road smoothness and service can make a lot of difference. At higher load your lead acid batteries prove inefficient. Without heavy load, a lead acid battery can support for 20 hours. Conversely, an electric bike will use all its power in duration of one hour. You should opt for the one that offers you double of your everyday mileage. The total output depends upon the combination of battery and motor.
