  • Actually the "MATH" formula is Amps=Watts/Volts:

    Having a 60 watt solar panel is 60watts/52v= .86666 amps

    So having a 20Ah battery, it's going to take 23 hours to charge using only a 60 watt panel (direct sunlight). The math.... 20ah/.86amps=23hrs

    That would be 23 direct hours of sunlight, with an average of 8 hrs a day, or 23hrs/8hrs=2.9 days!

    The solution is a 300watt (5X's) panel on an enclosed trailer (top or side) tilted toward the Sun for around 3.5 hours to charge the 20Ah battery.

  • @kauaikit You are on the right track but your math is a little off. It is easier to think of it like this. The battery is 51.8v nominal x 20ah = 1036 watt/hours of battery. Since it is a 60w panel, in direct sunlight it can charge the fully depleted battery in 17.266 hours

  • so... 17 hours to recharge your batts? neat that youve got a light and foldable solar panel but at 6% capacity recharged an hour thats, well... a bit slow.

  • @sn0wchyld One day out in the sun will fully recharge fully depleted batteries. At 51v 10Ah, you can recharge in right around 8 hrs. We also have another panel closer to 100W that you can fully recharge in about 5 hours! Most people don't ride everyday, and if you leave the panel covering your bike as a solar shade, it will always be fully charged and ready to go.

  • @hipowercycles

    You say your battery is a 52v 20ah so thats 1020wh's. at 60 watts per hour (which that panel will only put out for about 1-2 hours per day unless you stand with it directly facing the sun all day) this will indeed take 17.3 hours to recharge. In all reality though unless you live in a tropical climate or desert you will not get 8 hours of sun per day. Also in reality this solar pannel will only average about 35-40watts per hour at best.

  • @1980TheRealFury In all reality, if you live somewhere where the sun shines, you will charge our standard 51v 10Ah system in a day out in the sun. And the panel is engineered to be especially efficient in low light. Expect 35-40 Watts at least in lower light levels. I don't know how the panel manages this, but, it does really well in low light. If this is not fast enough, you could always move up to our 90W folding panel...

  • cool option, but with the money,you can get an extra battery

  • Just wondered if someone could tell me the advantages of your product compared to stealth electric bikes. Meaning the stealth fighter. Both seem amazing but the advantage of your 2 wheel drive seems obvious. Any info would be appreciated. I also wondered how heavy an extra battery would be in a backpack for extended range. Thanks.....

  • you want a highspeed electric bike to be heavy and more stable.  This is why we need manafactures start producing high speed electric bikes with rated components for high speed and increased weight. THe problem the with the government at the moment is they limit the speed of electric bikes to 25mph which means they do not get manafactured for high speed. THe government want bikes kept at low speeds which makes no sense. THey want people tied to legal boundaries

  • @hipowercycles Hi, he is actually doing it right... he just did the math wrong.

    He has 60/52 but he calculated as 52/60 thats why the 0.8666

    But you should use Amps and not watts to check how long it is going to take to charge

  • Чувака наебали, нету здесь и 2х киловатт

  • rwarrrrrrrr

    coowal

  • My dream is going around the world alone no emission no supply no support car some day !!

    I 'm glad to see you.
