How did they manage to only get 243 miles out of a quad large? Uphill the whole way?

They said they do a constant 70 mph and then consume 95% of the battery capacity, with minimal changes in elevation and out-and-back.

Using 60-65% of the capacity in my quad, large, 20ATs will get 150-180 miles depending on elevation, wind and etc.

Personal experience says...at 70 mph, that's about right (I did 256 miles and had used about 99% of the battery.)

Out of Spec's 70 MPH test got 289 miles out of a quad-large on 20"

They also got more range out of a dual-large on 21s than they got out of the dual-max on 21s, though…..

OOS is in Colorado. High elevation, where air is less dense.

Yes. It’s almost a 10% difference in density I think?

That's crazy they must not use conserve mode? I get over 300 on my 22" quad...

 

[Jumacao]

It's odd to me that they got less range with 21" wheels. Based on the photos, they performed the test with 22" wheels, which are understood to be less efficient than the 21s.

I can't imagine that test since I can get 225 miles towing, lol.
