Total Weight of bike and rider roughly 330

Kit is 1000W 48
Battery is 48v 12amp

How far on half throttle and full

Flat surface no wind no rain

This is the kit n battery

Ok with all that info I ran this ebike simulator and came up with 45 miles. Here is the link for the sim.... THE SIMULATOR OF ELECTRIC BIKE RANGE - CALCULATOR OF EBIKE RANGE
Hope this helps

Couldn't open the thread, but if it's an ebay battery, I wouldn't hazard a guess. Good battery: 48V X 12 a-h = 576 w-h and at 80% of capacity = 440 w-h. At 20 mph with moderate pedaling 15-20 w-h per mile, so you'll be fortunate to go 30 miles IMO, with 20 - 25 more likely. If you pedal like crazy, you'll get more (obviously).

So 1 says 45miles other says 20. Both are very different

It's a lipo shark battery I think

Again, IMHO the best method to estimate reasonable reliable range is this simple calculation:

(48V * 12Ah) / 20 = 28.8 miles estimate range

There is no way to give you an exact range. There are too many variables, which include unknowns like battery quality.

I would ask the seller of this product the same question you posted here. What does he claim? Will he guarantee the range figure he gives you?

Read this for a good understanding of range estimate issues:

Good luck!

48v 22AMP lifepo4 battery (I think its lifepo4)

what can i get with that**********???

If by your math 48v 22amp IL get 52.8 miles right. Roughly on how n where I ride right

Yes with pedaling, that is what the "Rule-Of-Thumb" calculation gives you. Read the article if you have not done so yet... Nothing is craved in stone.

Be aware that LifePO4 batteries ARE HEAVY! That one weighs 16.5lbs. They do last a long time though.

That's about all the help I can offer you. Jump in and have fun!

ok well what about just only throttling without pedaling (i mean i would pedal at the start to go foward a little but want to do at least mostly throttling)

If you read the article you'd already know the answer to that question. If you need special hand holding to make a decision, then I suggest you go to a professional E-bike shop for advice. Good luck!

And also, there is no need to create 3 threads to add bits and pieces of the same story.

Tends to get people to tune out.

They don't originally start with same question once I ask I know the topics dead so I make 1 for next question as the last one is done

If worried bring a 2nd charged battery..

Amp-Hour battery capacity is important data to know.

I am going to just hope that the battery is a good one

now to win this bid at $175 and il be happy (unless someone has a better recomendation since this kit needs a 48v 12amp battery at least and mines 48v 20amp (i just wonder if i did get a 20amp 48v volt kit would i go faster and farther or no)

Speed is somewhat proportional to V. More amp-hours theoretically will provide somewhat better acceleration, but not top speed. Don't buy an ebay battery and start asking why it doesn't work. The answer is because it's an ebay battery.

Well its a lifepo4 i was told it was recommend it (havent used it yet because i dont have a kit) i am trying to find out if this kit works or not is all before i buy it.

Please don't confuse AH and amps. Amp-hours (AH) is the capacity of the battery.

I can show you a 20AH battery that only delivers 10A peak. I can show you a battery that will send 30 amperes peak, but only has 10AH of capacity.

Battery sellers give you the voltage and AH, like 36V 10AH. The peak current will be buried deeper in the specifications.

That Lipo battery you mention on ebay is probably not a bad battery and it will likely get your ebike humming along at close to 30 mph, and maybe you get 25 miles, but I doubt it's a true 20AH battery.Nah. Knock off cell vendors in China are used to stamping whatever they want on the labels.

with this should i buy a single speed cruiser bike with hand breaks or a multi speed bike???

A multi seep bike.

If you buy a single speed bike the wheel will not be centered in the frame and will will have to add shifters. And the frame will not be set u up for Derailleurs.

Any idea how many speeds or just count the speeds on that

Obviously seven speeds on the kit, so you should endeavor to find a bike with seven speeds so it will properly (this isn't mandatory in some instances, but at this time that's MO). Fortunately many big box bikes which is what you're going to purchase have seven speeds. Make sure you go over the bike thoroughly; those bikes aren't safe at 15 mph; at 30 they're a death trap IMO.

I see a lot of 7 speeds with a revolution shifter should I get a bike with that or no

Will that affect my kit or no

depends on if what throttle you get. A thumb throttle will not get in the way of the shifters. But if you get a twist throttle (full or half) then it will.

it is a twist throttle :(
