Video of a graphene battery running a vehicle
(Excerpt) Read more at youtube.com ...
I've been watching this guy for ages. He's great! If you are unfamiliar with graphene batteries/capacitors, EESDs, check out his other videos.
For hopping around the burbs, I could see a use for something like it.
That. Was. Amazing.
Grapheme is cheap and plentiful, yes?
He found an old printing press and uses it to apply the graphene "ink" to standard copy paper.
Did you see how fast he installed the battery? It’s about the size and weight of a ream of paper. It would be pretty simple to plug in another when the one you’re using starts to run out of power.
Got a bike path along a river trail to downtown, maybe 1 or 2 hours bike ride.
Been specing out electric battery assist. Maximum battery cell hiding maybe inside hollow tube frame, if possible.
Downside to electric, 120v is slow charging. 220v or 440v is required for quick charge. But if you ride downtown, there are no higher voltage outlets available.
There may already be a pedal assisted bike available with the range you need, if not, couldn't you get a extra battery, leave it to charge at some location in town? Perhaps a service station or garage might be willing to work with you on something like that for a nominal fee?
You could then just swap out batteries for the trip back.

It turns everything on its head. Just amazing.
I tried an electric scooter, but the battery wouldn’t last long enough to get me to the post office and back. Very disappointing.
This eBike’s range is 25 -35 miles per charge.
