What is the lifespan of an electric bike?

archa_pyus

Say you have an electric bicycle that is used daily, capable of a 30 mile range before needing re-fuelling and a speed range of 3-15mph.

What would be its likely lifespan, i.e. when would the whole thing have to be replaced?

I do not need exact measurements, just the general idea, as it is for a project for which i have to design an electric bike, which i know nothing about.

thank you!

Answer
The life span of an electric bike is mostly determined by the battery. Batteries can have a memory and if recharged before depleting it completely will reduce the capacity and can affect the range.

I would do some research on batteries. You can also look up motorized hubs to put on bikes, they make for the cleanest design.

Motors are rated in watts and most states have regulations that control the maximum amount of power that you can use.

how much does an 1200w electric bike cost if u charge it all day?

Q. an roomate of mine has an electric bike an the electric bill jump from 280$-420 is that possible

Answer
Hi, walker. The answer u wanted depends on the cost per unit kilowatt in your country. Because, electrical energy=w*t where w is the power consumed and t is the time in seconds. If you charge your bike a whole day,it consumes 1728 kwh. If your rate per unit is 1, you have to pay 1728 for it. If u were in india, rate per unit is Rs.0.75 and you will be paying Rs.1298 for it. Did i confuse you buddy? If u want more mail me at contact me.sundar@yahoo.in
