Why are Boosted Boards ($1995) at a 6 mile range and E-Go ($700) at a 15 (Edit: 18!) mile range?
With the huge price difference I would expect just the opposite.
Edit: http://e-go.com/feature-1 http://e-go.com/feature-1 apparently E-Go has a 18.6 mile range when not in winter (< 50 degrees F) temperatures.
- gridspy 12y agoIt takes far more energy to travel at 20 miles/h (Boosted) rather than 12 (E-Go). Also range measurements can be deceptive. Perhaps the boosted board was measured in harsher conditions (more stops and starts say, or different weight, or different incline).
- skdoo 12y agoBoosted's battery has 99 Wh of capacity, while E-Go's has 230 Wh. Barring a significant difference in system efficiency, we would guess about a 2.3x difference in range under similar testing conditions.
- skdoo 12y agoBoosted co-founder here. Our battery costs more than theirs. Range/capacity is one measure of performance, alongside cycle lifetime, safety, power output, and other factors. Did a technical post about batteries a while ago. http://boostedboards.com/technical-progress-part-iii-lithium-battery/ http://boostedboards.com/technical-progress-part-iii-lithium...
