Hi, from Sweden too. Had a normal mob hard tail but bought one emtb 2 years ago Scpott wit
h shimano motor. Best thing I've done. Have studied this a lot and have a lot of info if you need.
Congrat! I have a 2018 720 since a couple of month. You see it under the "show your Scott". It works fine. I couldn't afford the 710 but thats the one I wanted to go for. (tuned too expensive). I upgraded the fork though. Really fun!!! /P
In fact if you put in the ascent, and range and % of each mode we can calibrate the curve fairly good and so check if the battery and motor seems to be ok!!/P
Losses on vertical climb = none (its rough and hypothetic) Losses on normal range (easy) = actual. Please note that this is not a perfect calculation. It is a rough one simplified. The perfect one requires a doctor thesis although a slightly better one can be made quite easy. Anyone??. It shows...
Add on. From the calculations and the nominal range for "easy normal" ride you can make an triangle for each mode. One point max ascent /vertical and 0 horisontal (normal) range, one point no ascent (other than the easy normal) and 110 for the eco as example and the third point in the diagram...
Hi again. Some more explanations; I hope I remember my physics from 40 years ago (and more) To lift 100 kg (75+25 for the bike) 1000 meter up requires 1000*100*9,81/3600 = 272 Wh theoretically at a minimum. Roughly (you can adjust these factors by the app for each mode) eco mode means 80%...
3000 ft? If I calculate correct that corresponds to approx 250Wh of the battery= 50 % of maximum charge when new. (= 100% power from battery/motor and 100% efficiency on same, loss of efficiency and addition fr, you legs equal gives zero net??? ) If correct calculation conclusion yes, you will...
Have to add for clarification; the impressive thing was that she never gone on any (whatsoever) mtb before and never outside the town streets!! Asked how it was she answered; "fun".
No mountains but certainly not flat. small hills up and down all time. How impressive it is cannot be evaluated exactly. The bike is new. 2nd charging only. The 4/5 bars may not be linear. But it certainly looks and feels good. First real trip and so you are a bit scared about how the battery...
...:-)....as the result of the first test was unknown until 2 days ago..no specific plans formed yet. Only fantasies..but it now seems as fantasies and reality will be one! Going by bicycle is a fantastic way of going out in the nature. You smell, have time to see and just enjoy. With some...
Have a more complete story in separate thread First time 50+ wife.....
Scott e-genius 720 2018. After 30,6 km 2 hrs 26 min ride mostly in the forest (80%) and using eco and trail modes (no boost) still 4/5 bars left on the battery!!! (500 Wh)
Wife never been bicycling else than between house and work. 3 km on perfect road. As I bought a mtb (Grand Canyon) and inspired many of my friends to do so as well, we thought of making cycle touring with our wives as well sometimes. So , thats said, I bought a Scott e-genius 720 for her (and...
in fact, its not enough. Have to say that next , or next next , years model will not have this design. To have the on/off at that position is real bad thinking.
I will make a piece of plastic cover with "easy" fastening for the whole of the fram front. Easy done but just a quick fix of the...
Heres my 720. Met an new but stripped off better fork. And then som plastics. Wife call it "the Monster". Actually bought for her but sofa used by me....
