What is the Lightest Ebike?

Introduction

E-bikes are getting popular day by day amongst different age groups and professional classes. The trend of sales of e-bikes is rising consistently and constantly. The surprising thing about this trend is that many users are now showing their interest in purchasing a lightweight e-bike over a heavier one. We shall discover what is the lightest bike in the market at the moment, as well as different aspects related to this question.

Why Do the Users Prefer a Lightweight Ebike?

There are numerous reasons why riders prefer lightweight e-bikes more than heavier ones. We are enlisting some of those reasons in the lines below:

 

1.   Maneuverability

Lightweight bikes are easier to maneuver during the ride. This is true in particular for sharp turns, narrow streets, and other localized situations during the ride in urban areas.

 

2.   Ergonomics

A lightweight e-bike is easy to lift. This is true for situations where the rider has to carry his e-bike over the head, be it for a short distance (say for a few steps only). So lightweight bikes in such a situation would bother the rider much lesser. Similarly, cycling an e-bike with a pedal assist feature for a long time makes the rider less bothered as compared to a heavier one.

 

3.   Easier to Drive

Lightweight e-bikes are easier to drive because not only are they easier to handle due to being lightweight (as compared to heavier ones) but easier to accelerate in a comparatively lesser span of time.

 

The Negative Side of Choosing a Lightweight Ebike

There is a negative side regarding choosing a lightweight e-bike, knowing which might be beneficial for our readers, in case they want to buy a lightweight e-bike. Some of them are listed below.

 

1.   Limitations Regarding Power and Range

The negative side of choosing a lightweight e-bike is that these e-bikes use lightweight batteries with limited charging capacities. Therefore a lightweight battery implies that the e-bike would travel a lesser distance within a single charge, as compared to a heavier battery.

 

2.   Durability

Lightweight e-bikes have lesser durability and useful life as they make use of lighter material that has an unlimited useful life for Mechanical Fatigue (i.e. cyclic loading).

 

3.   Economics

Lightweight bikes often make use of special materials in order to reduce the weight of the bike. For example, Carbon fiber-reinforced composite materials or aluminum etc. The use of such materials may increase the cost of an e-bike as compared to its peers.

What are the Lightest E-bikes in the Market?

 Now we shall take a look at the lightest e-bikes available in the market. We are enlisting some of them in detail in the lines below.

 

1.   HPS Domestique Ebike

HPS stands for High-Performance Systems. It is a company that manufactures e-bikes. Its CEO is Harry Gibbings.

Original Source: Swiss Cycles

         Features and Specifications

 

The company has developed a system which they call Watt Assist.

The amazing thing about the system is that it is extremely lightweight. This system contains the motor, a few minimal controls and other electronics and the battery. At present, the system does not include any display.

 

The Battery

 

In order to keep the overall weight of the e-bike low, the manufacturer has introduced some interesting design features. One of these innovative steps is to design the battery of the bike in the form of a drinking bottle. Furthermore, the battery has been designed for low power as a high-power battery would be larger in size and add to the total weight of the bike unnecessarily. The battery’s power rating is 200W which spikes to 230W for a very short time interval as well.

 

There is however a limitation with this lightweight battery that it can provide power only for up to 03 hours, after which almost 193W of its charging is consumed.

 

As per the manufacturer’s claim, the total weight of this e-bike is around 8.5 kg. Based on that claim, this e-bike is the lightest e-bike in the world.

 

2.   Lemond Prolog

Lemond Prolog is on the list of the lightest e-bikes in the world. As per the manufacturer’s claim, the total weight of this e-bike is just 26 lbs without fenders and 27 lbs with fenders (viz. 11.8 kgs approx.)

This is quite lower than the standard e-bikes which weigh as much as 45-55 lbs. They have managed to achieve this low weight with the help of a carbon-fiber tube that is incorporated into the frame. Besides, they have used a lightweight drive system. The battery is more powerful than the HPS Domestique e-bike and has a power rating of 250 kWh. This bike can produce double the amount of torque as compared to the HPS Domestique.

Conclusion

While lightweight e-bikes may appear slim and sleek as well as attractive, they might not be suitable for all purposes. We have listed the benefits as well as the limitations of lightweight e-bikes above.

 

Besides, we have enlisted two commercial options available in the market for those looking to buy lightweight e-bikes. The selection of these brands as the contender for lightweight e-bikes has been done on the basis of the claims made by their manufacturers. However, we recommend that our readers explore their nearby market for satisfaction as well as verification in this regard.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

 

Q: On what basis do the companies make a claim for their bike (with different configurations) being the lightest in weight?

 

A: It is a norm and standard practice in the world of cycling that a company may opt to quote its least weight for the product i.e. the weight that corresponds to the lightest configuration of the bike.

 

Q: What is torque? What is its importance?

A: Torque is equivalent to Force in rotational motion. Therefore the higher the value of torque, the better a bike is for the drive where more force is required such as during an uphill drive

Why Does My Ebike Battery Cut Out?

Introduction

Internet users have stormed it with queries related to e-bikes, as this concept is getting popular day by day. Some of the most asked queries are regarding the batteries of e-bikes. This is because the battery is the most important component of any e-bike along with the motor. One of the questions related to the battery asked frequently on different forums is “Why does my eBike battery cut out?” We shall review what this question means and take an overview of different aspects of it. We shall try to address the question in detail, as well.

Battery Cut-Out Meaning

Battery cut-out is a term that is used in the context of a power cut-off. So when we speak this term in terms of e-bikes, it actually means that the power has been disconnected from the battery and there is no current flowing from the battery to the motor. Consequently, this may result in no assistance from the motor, and the driver or the rider of the e-bike may have to rely on the paddle power, if there is any option to do so.

Potential Reasons Contributing to Battery Cut-Out

There might be different reasons for battery cut out. These reasons may not be present in each of the cases in real life. However, we have unlisted the most common causes for battery cut-outs in the lines below :

 

1.   Poor Battery Condition Or Low Capacity

One of the most common and frequent reasons for battery cut-out is that the battery might have been damaged or its charge depleted, which is why it might be cutting out repeatedly.

 

Other than that, there might be another reason associated with the battery i.e. the charge storage capacity of the battery might not be appropriate to power the bike which is why it might be cutting off during the operation, too early.

 

2.   The Connections

One of the reasons for the battery cut out during operation might be associated with the connections. The connections might not be as tight and in place as they ought to be. For example, the wires might be loose or the connection to the terminals might not be good. Similarly, the terminals of the battery might be corroded, hindering the flow of the current.

 

3.   The Motor

The battery might be cutting out due to the motor. This reason is the largest single contributor towards this cause. Many users have reported the battery cutting out problem going to a faulty motor or one that is not in good condition.

The question arises how does this happen? Actually, the motor overheats during the operation, and the system of the e-bike cuts off the power supply to prevent the motor from for heating up and consequent irreversible damage.

 

4.   The Controller

Although this is the reason that is reported much lesser in actual cases for the battery cut out, it still counts as one of the probable reasons for this phenomenon. The controller runs on a feedback system that is a Mathematical concept. There might be something wrong with the programming of the microcontroller and hence it might be signaling the battery to cut off the power whereas the actual condition of the bike might not require a power cut-off during the operation.

How to Fix the Battery Cut-Out Problem

 

Having discussed the most common causes for the battery cut-out problem, we now turn our face towards the remedial solutions that we can take to fix this problem. We have enlisted some of these steps as below:

 

1.   Checking the Battery

Amongst the diagnostics and the fixes, this is the first step that you need to take because mostly the battery cut-out is related to the battery itself. You need to remove the battery from the bike and check its terminals whether they are corroded or not.

 

Another thing that you can do in this regard is to charge the battery fully and then note the time that it would take to discharge completely. You may then compare this time with that taken during the operation of e bike to discharge completely i.e. cut out. In case of similar results, you may need to check with the manufacturer of the battery otherwise the problem might be with your bike.

 

2.   The Connections

The connections are easy to inspect through visual inspection. Loose wires can be identified and the very first site. If there are any, tighten them to ensure that the connections are in place.

 

Similarly, the terminals of the battery can be viewed through visual inspection. If they are corroded, necessary steps may be taken to remove the rust or the corrosion so that the current flows through the circuit perfectly.

 

3.   Fixing the Motor

In order to fix the motor, you may need to run it separately i.e. independently from the e-bike’s Electric circuit. This is to ensure that the e-bike is not damaged during the diagnostic testing. in case the motor is found damaged or faulty you may contact the manufacturer of e bike or whenever your guarantee/ warranty is claimable.

 

4.   Diagnostics for the Controller

Diagnosing a faulty microcontroller is probably the easiest step in diagnosing the reason for the battery cut out of an e-bike. This is because they can be diagnosed separately in an Electrical lab with small Electrical instruments, that are necessary for testing and diagnostics.

Conclusion

The battery cut out might be due to many reasons. We have enlisted some of those reasons above as well as the tips for their diagnostics. We hope that the information mentioned above is sufficient for our readers to sort out the problem with their e-bikes’ battery cutting out.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

 

Q: Can the weight or load of an e-bike might be the direct reason for its battery cut out?

A: No, an e-bike’s battery might not cut out solely due to its load or applied weight.

 

Q: Is fixing the battery cut out costly?

A: Diagnosing the battery cut-out reason might not be costly but the fix may cost as per the actual reason for the cut-out and its solution.

Why is My Ebike Battery Flashing Blue?

The most searched topics regarding e-bikes include some of those related to the bike’s battery. One question that has created quite some buzz on the online forums is “Why is my bike battery flashing blue?” We shall review this question as well as try to answer it in full detail in the lines below.

The Potential Contributing Reasons for a Blue Flashing Battery

There can be many countable reasons why the battery has been flashing blue constantly

However, we have tried to enlist some of the most common and frequent reasons for the same problem, in the lines below:

 

1.   Low Battery Level

This is just a diagnostic measure and nothing to worry about. All the bikes that run on battery, come across such a stage during their operation when they suffer from low battery. So in many bikes, the Blue flashing light is an indication that the battery might be about to run out of charge and that you need to charge the bike once again in order to continue your ride.

 

2. Overheating of Battery

In many bikes, the Blue flashing light is an indication of the battery’s temperature. This might be a warning sign for the rider or the owner that the battery in the battery is overheated during the operation. if this is the problem, it needs to be addressed immediately else the battery might explode, there might be reversible damage to the battery or electrical circuit of the bike.

 

3.   Malfunction in the System

Sometimes the battery flashes Blue due to a malfunction in the system of the e-bike. The malfunction might be present in the software that is integrated with the Electronic circuit or the microcontroller that governs the motor and the battery.

 

4.   Environmental Causes

Batteries are suitable for operation in a close temperature range. Sometimes the manufacturer himself would specify the suitable temperature range for smooth and fine working of the battery. In such cases, the battery is not able to operate smoothly at temperatures near the freezing point.

 

How does this happen in practice? Well, and smart batteries there is a chip inside the batteries called Battery Management System (BMS). Amongst the other functions of this BMS, chip is to ensure that the battery works only within the specified temperature range. If the temperature is too cold, for example, near the freezing point it won’t allow the current to flow to the motor.

Fixing the Blue Flashing Light

1.   Battery Level

If the battery level is low temporarily, this is not something to worry about. This problem can be fixed by charging your battery to the full extent.

 

However if the battery is damaged or for some reason or it is unable to store the charge to the full capacity, that is something very serious and you need to fix it. For this purpose, you may need to inspect the battery, its terminals, or internal cells. If your problems remain unsolved, you may need to check the manufacturer of the battery and claim for warranty/guarantee, if required.

 

Another reason for the low level of the battery on a constant basis might be the fault in the charger. The charger may need a replacement.

 

2.   Fixing a Battery that Overheats

As we have discussed earlier the overheating of a battery is quite a serious concern. In order to fix the Blue flashing light that is blinking or appearing due to the overheating problem you may need to remove the battery first from the bike and check it through visual inspection. If necessary, you may need to take it to the manufacturer or some nearby mechanic shop as well.

 

Preventive precautions in this regard include the use of a good quality charger as well as avoiding overcharging of the battery.

 

3.   Fixing the Malfunction

In order to fix the malfunction in the e-bike, the microcontroller has to be examined. To do so, it is advised to perform the check under the supervision of a qualified mechanical technician.

 

4.   Dealing With the Environmental Causes

Although the blinking of a Blue light on the battery does not constitute a permanent error always. It may point towards an environmental cause, related to the BMS as discussed above.

In order to fix the issue of the Blue flashing light on the battery in this case, you may need to remove the battery and take it indoors, where you need to keep the battery for 2 hours. and charge it to the full cycle. In many cases, doing so would solve the problem

 

Conclusion

Ebikes are getting popular day by day. The battery is the most important component of an e-bike. Some users have reported that their battery keeps flashing Blue light for some unknown reason.

 

 We have mentioned some ways and steps to assess what causes the flashing of this Blue light as well as the respective remedial measures, to address this issue.

How Fast Does a 750W Ebike Go?

Introduction

E-bikes are a modern concept in the world of transportation. This concept is becoming popular. Day-by-day growing sales of e-bikes all across the world, particularly in the US and Europe are evidence of this fact. One question that often comes to the mind of potential buyers is how fast does a 750W e-bike go. There are different perspectives to answer this question we shall take a view of all these perspectives in the lines below.

The Factors Influencing the Speed of a 750W Ebike

We shall review different factors that influence the speed of a 750-watt e-bike, in the lines below:

1.   Motor

The motor is the most important component of any e-bike. The operation of any bike is dependent primarily on the motor. The more the motor power, the more the speed. Similarly, the more efficient the motor, the more its speed can be. This applies to 750W e-bikes too. Apart from that motor type plays an important role in determining the speed of an ebike too. Mid-drive motors are capable of running e-bikes faster than the hub-type motors.

 

2.   Load

How fast can a 750W e-bike go depends upon the load that is applied to it, which implies the load of the rider as well as cargo (if any). This applied load causes the friction between the tires and the road surface or the traction service to increase, which may reduce the speed of the E-bike for the same power being provided by the motor.

 

3.   Terrain

The speed of an e-bike is also affected by the terrain on which it has to run. For example, an ebike can go quite fast on a flat surface whereas the same ebike would go quite slow on the road If the road is rugged.

Similarly, the e-bikes have to go slow on the hill terrain. This is due to the headwinds that a rider has to face during his ride.

Answering the Question: How Fast Does an Ebike Go?

The answer to this question is not a simple and plain one. It depends upon many factors. We are enlisting some of these factors below:

 

1.   Legal Aspect

How fast any bike goes depends upon the legal constraints or limitations of the territory where the rider has to ride on any bike. This is because the speed limit for e-bikes is different in different states. This is not only relevant to the United States but to different countries as well.

 

 In the US, bikes are categorized as per class. Different classes have different speed limits class 2 e-bikes can travel up to a speed limit of 20 miles per hour. Similarly, a class 3 e-bike can go as fast as 28 miles per hour.

 

2.   A Comparison of Motor Configuration

Technically speaking about the comparison of different motor types that are used in e-bikes these days, mid-drive motors are capable of running any bike at a faster speed than hub-mounted motors.

 

The legal speed of any bike in the United States is a maximum of 28 mph, that too for class 3 bikes. However, a mid-drive motor can speed an e-bike up to 32 mph. This does not affect the legal limit though. The hub-mounted e-bike is capable of attaining a maximum speed of 28 mph.

 

3.   The Ergonomics

The ergonomics matter a lot. For example, the younger riders have a thirst for thrill and excitement. That is why they would like to enjoy the faster speed, driven by the motor power and therefore they would keep the pedal assist limit as high as possible.

 this is because the fastest speed gives than the thrill.

 

4.   Condition of the Ebike

When we speak the term condition of the bike or e-bikes’ health, we are generally referring to the condition of the battery, the controller, the electric circuit as well as other components of any bike.

 

 However, the most important thing is the condition of the motor as well as the battery. If the battery or the motor is too old or worn out, it may not drive the bike properly. Hence the rider may not be able to achieve the maximum legal speed limit of 28 mph. Therefore this factor affects the speed of any bike.

 

Consequently, we can say that how fast a 750-watt e-bike goes also depends upon the condition of the E-bike.

Conclusion

How far can any bike go depends upon different factors. The same applies to a 750W bike as well. We have enlisted some of these factors above. From the above discussion, one thing is clear. That pertains to the maximum legal speed limit for any bike including 750w bikes, which is 20 mph for class 2 e-bikes and 28 mph for class 3 e-bikes.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

 

Q: Do all the e-bikes have the same speed, regardless of their make and models?

 

A: No, different e-bikes have different speeds. Different manufacturers design e-bikes as per different specifications which affect the speed and performance parameters of any e-bike.

 

Q: Can an ebike travel as fast as 100 mph?

 

A: In plain theory, the answer to this question seems to be yes but the matter is not as simple as it seems to be. This has to be checked and validated as per prevalent technologies and necessary scientific calculations. Even if this is validated, it would be of no good since the maximum speed limit in the US is 28 mph for e-bikes.

 

Q: Does riding an e-bike fast affect the battery?

 

A: Yes, riding an e-bike fast affects the battery life as it causes the motor to draw more current from the battery. A battery has only a finite number of charge cycles as per useful life. Therefore riding a bike at higher speeds may reduce the battery life.

Every day brings a fresh opportunity to make better choices for our environment and improve our planet’s health. As we strive to reduce our carbon footprints and adopt greener habits, an exciting development has been cruising down our streets.
