Range

•  We needed a consistent benchmark by to judge the range of these bikes,

   so it is flat surface, 70º F, 425 lb bike with a 175 lb rider.

•  The bike is half the width of a Harley for a very small wind profile.

   This helps the range quite a bit.

•  Hills, changes in temperature, acceleration, etc will effect these ranges.

   Under extreme conditions the ranges may even be half of what is stated.

   Please keep that in mind.

Battery

•  Our Lithium-ion battery uses prismatic pouches

    ( Lithium-Nickel-Cobalt-Manganese-Oxide chemistry )

•  40 pouches  28 kWh  (250.0 lbs) for the 480-E

•  30 pouches  21 kWh  (187.5 lbs) for the 360-E

•  20 pouches  14 kWh  (125.0 lbs) for the 240-E

•  11 pouches    9 kWh   (68.75 lbs) for the 120-E

•  The pouches are arranged to mimic the mass of an engine

    so that the balance and feel of all Panthers remains the same.

•  At the sides of the battery case are three layers of plates.

   These plates are there to give an additional impact buffer

   as well as cooling for the battery case.

•  As the battery case heats up, the heat from the plates

   causes a convection that draws cooling air between the plates

   in the same way that the muffler's three heat reflective layers do

   under the seat in the fuel powered bikes.

•  Here are the new "Adventure Wheels"

   for better side-load absorption.
