yeah, i'm pretty sure that for fixed installations lead acid batteries are still the best bang for the buck
lithium batteries are the biggest cost in most things they go into
i have an e-bike, the battery is 300 euros, the cost of the bike was 750
Discussion
oh and the charge regulator was like 200
Wow so about 600 euros of the bike are the electronics?
yeah, that's why i've decided to ditch it because it didn't have regen brakes and i'm down to 20% of the front discs working in these absurdly steep hills of madeira
and yes i didn't mention the control screen either, that's another 80
honestly, i think i should just make a trip to the other side of the island and buy the cheap 300 euro mountain bike with no electronics and a bunch of spare disc pads, discs and a spare chain, two tires and two tire tubes, and i'll be good for a year and get fit as fuck
yeah, seriously, 2 months of ebike and i'm done
