Hi My first post also
Shame nobody has any thoughts on this
I will attempt to build my own trailer with 200ah of lead acid to charge on the go through a dc to dc converter
My bike is 63v 15a currently around a 30 mile range on throttle only at 25mph.
I hope to get atleast 150 miles out of 8 car battery's wired together in 2s 4p configuration to give me a trailer battery of 24v 200ah.
I will use a dc to dc boost converter to step up the voltage to 63v to constantly provide power to the charging side of my battery already on my bike
I'm using around 8-900w on the flat at 25mph so if I put 300w from trailer I should triple my range to 90 miles continuous riding.
Then I'd have to stop and wait a few hours for my battery to charge back from the trailer side.
I could just run at 15mph (around 300w then I could potentially run till my bike and trailer are empty together giving a mega range of over 400 miles but at 15mph
Also I haven't taken weight into account on the range.
If not hilly terrain I wouldn't think it would matter when riding for long times with minimal stopping
(I travel the full 30 miles of my bike and only stop and start once or twice as I'm riding in country lanes with no junctions)
In city I would think that there's no point with battery trailer as power points are everywhere or just have spare battery at home charging.
