Electricity consumption for overcoming 1 kilometer.
Your Delfast is technical product consists of many components, which are subject to normal
wear due to their function. Therefore, all the following components should be regularly checked
and if necessary, replaced immediately:
Measurements of energy consumption in different modes of operation of an electric bicycle
show the following results:
●
motor–wheel of an e-bike without load, (hung out in the air) with minimal gas: about 9
watts / 1 km
●
motor–wheel of an electric bicycle without load, (hung out in the air) with full gas: about
50 – 75 watts / 1 km.
●
E-bike moves on a straight road at an average speed of 25 km / h: 10–15 watts / 1 km
●
E-bike moves with a strong headwind with an average speed of 20 km / hour: 16–20 watts /
1 km
●
E-bike moves on a straight road with an electric motor and pedals at a speed of 20 km / h:
5–7 watts / 1 km.
●
During acceleration, peak power can reach 800–900 watts / 1 km (in a short time)
Conclusion: Energy consumption depends on the speed, frequency of acceleration and
assistance pedals.
●
Brake Discs and pads are claimed during each braking operation and worn appropriately.
Therefore, they must be periodically reviewed and if necessary, be replaced immediately.
●
Tires and tubes are subject to a function–related wear and should be checked regularly.
Regularly check the air pressure and tread depth. The air pressure should always be at the
manufacturer's recommended operating pressure, which is printed on the tire sidewall. Is
the profile of the tire no longer deep enough or the tire has cracked sidewalls, it should be
replaced immediately.
●
Regularly check the concentricity of the rim and the spoke tension. If the wheel has a
radial or axial offset, it should be readjusted immediately. In the event of breakage of a
spoke, the broken spoke should be immediately replaced and the wheel has to be centered.
●
Belt and its components wear out normally at every time. Regular cleaning and
lubrication of these components can be extended considerably their service life. They
should, however, if they are worn be replaced immediately.
●
Shifting and brake cables must be maintained regularly and replaced if necessary.
Especially the bike is often parked outdoor and exposed to the weather.
●
Hydraulic oils and lubricants change over time and lose their effectiveness. Therefore, all
lubrication points are regularly cleaned and re-greased to minimize the wear.
●
The painting requires regular care. Check regularly all the paintwork for damage and
rectify this immediately. The points at which cables can rubbing the painting, you should be
protect them with a little clear, transparent film.
