Required Average Power for Acceleration:

— Watts

Important: This value represents the theoretical minimum power required for acceleration only on a flat surface. It calculates the power needed to change the kinetic energy of the total mass.

It does not account for significant real-world resistive forces like:

• Air Resistance (Drag): The largest opposing force at higher speeds.
• Rolling Resistance: Friction from the tires on the road.
• Drivetrain Inefficiency: Energy lost as heat in the motor, controller, and chain/belt (~10-20%).

The actual peak power required from your motor will be considerably higher to overcome these forces.
