Electric Motorcycle Calculations

Will vary between vehicles due to driving habits road conditions etc.

Electric motorcycle calculations. So when we get our hands on an electric motorcycle to review we are ecstatic. Watt hours is a way to measure the energy capacity of a battery pack so you know what to expect from your new e bike in terms of range performance. This calculator provides an estimate of what size electric motor is necessary to propel a vehicle on flat ground or up an incline at a certain speed. As with ice internal combustion engine vehicles speed distance mpg etc.

Some basic ev calculations electric vehicle conversions. Carbon dioxide compared to the electric equivalent. The same will be for an ev electric vehicle. Another win for comfort and i know this one will be controversial is the lack of exhaust noise.

Secondly most purpose built ebikes have the battery pack and standard capacity built into the bike but if you have an option of battery pack sizes this calculator can give you an idea of what a larger battery pack may provide you in. As i am planning to increase the speed of the motorcycle to 80 to 140kmph. Calculator allows to estimate the power of the engine and the electric bike battery capacity to achieve the assumed speed and range. Dead weight plus assumed weight need to be considered as load.

The comparisons are available in chart 1. To calculate the watt hours wh of a battery pack simply multiply the voltage by the amp hours ah of the pack. While do it yourself grade electric motorcycles have been done before i realized that the online ev community lacked the resources one would need to optimize an ev design. It estimates for normal electric scooter bike and go kart rolling resistance so if rolling resistance is above normal due to tires with low air pressure or sand or mud then reduce the motor efficiency percent to account for that.

There is no disputing the fact the electric motor has a lesser impact on the environment. Electric motorcycles are still new to the market with only a handful of manufacturers producing electric only bikes. This calculator can be used to estimate the battery pack size for a diy electric bike kit based on the type of riding and the typical distance traveled. That is also required.

Calculate the dead weight of motor for two adults to ride let the maximum weight applicable be considered. So i figured my electric motorcycle conversion would probably qualify. From electric cruisers to sport bikes there are gear shifting electric motorcycle options out there. As validation for the team s calculations a comparison to a commercial electric motorcycle will be made.

What started as a passing interest ended up being a 6 month design build research project and a 3 200 personal expense.
