Essential on my Ebike [Posted on 2006-09-10] When my electric bike started cutting out, the design engineer put one of these astro flight meters on the handlebars to diagnose the problems. It looks a bit kludgy because the wires don't install very elegantly. But, I now could not live without it. During my 12.5 mile commute I know the exact state of charge of my battery and how many amp hours I've used.
The digital display can be hard to read in the bright sunlight and it isn't backlit so it can't be seen in the dark, but it works well enough to tell me what I need to know.
A lot of people with electric bikes and scooters use a meter called a Brain Drain. It costs twice as much but looks nicer than this.
this is a toy? [Posted on 2007-08-23] I don't know why this watt-meter is being listed as a toy, I got it to monitor my power generation/consumption for an alternative energy system I'm making. So far it works great. the read-out is simple and precise, presenting vital information with clarity.
my only problem I had with it is my fault. I'm not using it for its intended purpose, so the leads are non-standard and I cut them off and replaced them. other than that, I was pleasantly surprised by this product.
