Hi, I'm pretty sure I'm going to build my first e-bike within the next month or so. I am on somewhat of a limited budget and want the best bike I can build for the buck.
I already have a bike to build on, not much really just a beach cruiser style bike from a big box store,
So now my questions about volts, amps, amp hours, watt hours and watts.
E-bike motors are rated in watts and generally the higher the watts the more power and speed the e-bike will have?
Battery voltage the more volts the more power?
Ah=A little confused at this one. I've read that is you multiply ah x volts you come up with amp hours?
So if I understand the above correctly:
An 36 volt 10.4 ah battery connected to an 800 watt motor = 374 watt hours, which would power an 800 watt motor for just under 1/2 hour at maximum output, under ideal conditions?
Thanks for educating me.
