Between to dispel myths about electric bikes this is one that is based on a real fact, but read the wrong way: the two wheels battery have less autonomy but all in all comparable to that of endothermic vehicles.
Oil – Unlike battery! – It is a very effective way to store energy and is one of the reasons for which until today has been the preferred. Only, as explained on “because the electric motorcycle does not pollute”, to release this energy must be burned.
The batteries have a worse storage of oil, but release energy directly.
Things have changed in recent years due to the chemistry of the batteries and are designed to gradually change over the next decade with a gradual improvement.
The turning point came with batteries Lithium Ion and now the autonomy offered by an electric bike is not negligible: let's go dai 70 km of a motor up beyond 250 motorcycle larger. anche se, va detto, the data must always be taken with pliers because much depends on the conditions of use (urban path, abrasive asphalt, ascents, descents and especially handcuff!).
If we rely on statistics on the use of means of transport, however,, we discover that it is already more than enough: In fact, we say that Italians on average travel every day 28,8 km.
The getaways are, for most of the Centaurs, a hundred kilometers. Although to make cool we tell ourselves we do settordicimila kilometers every time we get in the saddle, the truth is a little’ different.
The data tell us that about 60% of Italian bikers do not get to 4.000 km per year and less than 1% 10.000.
Accepted this fact, it is logical that we would in any case fewer limitations, that we would like a motorcycle that never runs out. But that would mean – similarly to what happens with the reservoir – have a larger battery and therefore heavier and, Consequently, penalizes the guide. We want a heavy bike and clumsy? Non credo.
We must rather focus on charging times. Let me explain. A bike like the Zero DSR I use runs 150 km if we go very very happy and arrives safely at 200 km if you drive wisely, as I have seen in various trips like that all'Agnellotreffen. If you chose a model with “Power Tank”, or with an additional battery optional, arriverei a 250 km that, honestly, It is a distance more than enough to do anything.
The question shifts rather on how long it takes me to reload and what I have to sit still waiting, factor yes stretching my trip and – at the moment – I make my life.
The Zero battery for example takes a couple of hours by 0 to the 100% a pillar and 8 hour domestic 220v.
The reaction usually: “Two hours? We are crazy? I can not wait that long!”. Yup, but how long walk to the restaurant? Ecco. We have to make sure to match your stops with those of the bike.
Also you need not wait to be dry to recharge: = more short term parking.
For charity, it is not that simple, It requires you to change your habits, but what I mean is that bring you today is not at all impossible to travel with an electric motorcycle. It travels in the slow way, preferring smaller roads, shorter distances and taking more breaks.
The costruttici Houses are working more and more on reduced time and I could already see a marked improvement over the last five years. At this point we pass the observation immediately after: “yes but where reloading? The posts are not…”.
