Did the Plano Eastside ride this morning with the Copenhagen on ECO mode... This is a "casual pace" 40-mile ride, with typical flat cruising speed of 14-16mph, with minimal hill climbing. I intentionally "babied" the assist a bit, by taking it easy at startups and not pushing hard up hills, to see what kind of range I could get out of the battery. We went from Doug's shop at Los Rios and Park across Renner to Independence, then up to just past 121 in Frisco, then over to Allen and back down.
At the 9 mile point, I had used 18% -- indicating 45+ mile range
At the 17 mile point, I had used 33% -- indicating ~50 mile range
At the 23 mile point, I had used 50% -- indicating 45+ mile range
Ironically enough, my phone didn't last as long as the wheel -- it died around our stop at the 30 mile point... which, when that happens, the wheel continues to operate in the mode that it is in (ECO).
We wound up doing a final fast run southbound on Dublin, where I cranked it up above 25mph -- this gave me a mile or so with minimal to no battery use...
The ride finished with 38 miles recorded, and 20% battery life remaining -- again indicating 45-50 mile range on ECO mode.
This was an interesting ride, from an exertion standpoint... I really never had to work hard the entire ride, and never really broke a sweat until the 30mph Dublin stretch... HR probably never got much above 100... This could be a dangerous thing to become used to...
Power plots indicate the similar 1.5X to 2X input power multiplication supplied.
I'll probably take it out on the GDB Sunday Roll tomorrow, again in ECO mode.
