Power Usage

Finally, I'm at a point where I can determine inputs and outputs.

I have a means to measure how much power goes into the bike. That is by way of the Kill-A-Watt.

I'll update this post in the future, but for now, I wish to document that from a 60% depth of discharge, 1.6 KW were used re-charging the bike. That's about the only stat I have.

I guess I should now keep a log of distance traveled and power spent recharging there-after to gather up data. From that I can determine the trend and I have some idea. I'll try to share as I go.
