ADVICE NEEDED
Hi my daily commute is a fairly short 16km trip.
I want to know what is the smallest battery I can get away with for my 350W mid-drive motor (15ah TSDZ2 motor)? I have seen a 36v 6.8Ah bottle battery which is a nice compact size but I want to know if this would suffice for my needs? If so what sort of average range do you think i could get? The terrain is fairly flat and I would want to go 15-20mph max. I weight about 100kgs. I may plan to only use the motor one one leg of my commute (8kms).
The other alternative is to get a 36v 10.5ah battery but this is substantially larger and may be far too large for my actual needs.
Any help greatly appreciated
Thanks in advance.
