Re: [ElectricMotorcycles] more on series hybridizing

[John Fisher]

exactly, the electric demand varies a lot from 2-3Kw up to bursts of 4-5 
or whatever, meantime the genset runs at its most efficient speed 
steadily, catching up while stopped at a light, and falling behind going 
up hill.

again, granting I wouldn't bother at all with the genset if batteries 
and BMS were cheaper.
