Sorry for the delay in posting,
I have posted another archive video on the website in the "Historical Videos" section which compares assisted and un-assisted average MPG during an example trip which was recorded using the alpha prototype in February of 2012. This gives an apples to apples comparison of the performance of this version on the retrofit system.
Keep in mind, at that time, the battery system was only 10Ah and the program took over 30 seconds to ramp up the assist. The current version of the assist system takes less than a second to reach full assist and assists at a much broader speed range so the mpg gains are expected to increase.
Because we are right in the middle of completing the extended test vehicle, I am not able to monitor and answer posts as often as I would like to keep this thread current. The website is and will continue to be the best source for up to date information concerning the final development of this retrofit kit.
Thanks for all of the input.
