how long does the motor run?

That is a difficult question because there are many variables to consider such as hill climbing and how often and how hard you intend on peddling. I'll try to give you a simply answer. On a flat LEVEL street with 0 peddling I would say you can get a good 20-30 mins of continuous full power riding on average. peddling will increase that range. As I mentioned before, hill climbing will dramatically use power as well as the weight of the rider. Someone 90ibs. will be able to get much more distance than someone 200+ (like myself). In my opinion these kits are really a lot of fun, I have purchased at least 4 in the past few years and I've never had any problems that I couldn't fix.

I've ran mine for two and a half hrs straight. Or around 20 miles. I love this system. Good luck.

Lori The time that any Battery powered motor will run Is controlled by the Voltage and amps of the battery and Also if You assist the By peddling

That depends on how large of a battery you get and how much you use the motor. Basically, you need to find the watt hours of your battery, then you can divide it out. Use this equasion: Watt Hours divided by motor power times 60 minutes. That will give you the total number of minutes at full power. Example: I use 2 24v Currie batteries, which are 240 watt hours each for a total of 480 watt hours. This motor is 1000 watt, so at full power, the motor will use the entire capacity of the batteries in 480/1000*60=28.8 minutes. With my 3 or 4 year old lead acid batteries, I get about 5 miles of range at maximum speed (about 30 mph) with no pedaling whatsoever.

I don't know because I plugged it up when I first got it to try it out, then packed it away for a few months. The next time I plugged it in, the motor would not run and I had to throw it away. I think it is not worth buying (in my opinion).

It really depends on how hard you run it. If you run it full speed all the time I say about 45mins. If you conserve energy about an hour you could get.

We currently use it on a professional carpet cleaning machine for up to 3 hrs. It is 16 hp, the original motor was 18 hp and it works great.

It runs about half an forty minutes on a full charge. I'm not sure about how long I charge it. We just . keep it charged all the time.

Not long. about 15 mins. of run time. I bought a second battery so i could easily swap them out and keep going.

Hello, well it go about 15,20,mph,But,when you buy tha boat it comes with a 1700,mh, battery& you will get 15min run time ,so buy a 3000mh battery,YOU will get 30min 45min top max run time,,I hope you enjoy,,thanx

It runs 30-40 minutes on a full charge for me. I'm usually tired by that time anyway. Its short handle tends to tire my back and arms rather quickly. Other than that, I think it is an excellent trimmer and a bargain at its price.

I have not timed it but it is very short, just a guess but maybe 20 seconds. It is very easy to crank - it is a great system. Ken

Not exactly sure how long it can run, but shortly after I received mine I had a shred - a -thon far about 2 hours an had no problems. It also has a nice meter that tells you when it's starting to over heat.

9 minutes. I just set it again to keep it running longer. I've been very happy with it.

15-20 minutes at most, I bought a lip and i get close to an hour of run time and it is absolutely crazy it takes off in wheelies

I'd say roughly about 15x22. However, BUYER BEWARE! I have purchased two of them, and out of the box one died within about 2 months and the other died in under 10 days. While the company replaces them under warranty, right now this unit is on "backorder" and I'm waiting for a replacement now for over 3 months on the unit that died in under 10 days. Read all the reviews, including negative ones, and decide if the hassle of the motor dying quickly, and no replacement available on warranty with a long wait will be worth it.

about 5 minutes. I had mine cook the dogs first, then turned it down to hold them for my customers for lunch. It ran for about 4 hours per day.....all 3 machines (2 replaced) died within 2 weeks (rotation motor). If this is for home use, you will be fine... if for commercial use, spend more money on a better product.

It does have a two minute timer. After running continuously for 2 minutes the motor very briefly pauses 3 times. The pause is brief but definitely long enough for you to notice it if the toothbrush is in your mouth. After the pauses, the motor on mine continues to run until you turn it off. I don't know if I have ever left it running for 4 minutes to see if it pauses again.

I see some confused answers, so I offer: A trolling motor that can run on less than 10 amps (or a 12v 40 pound thrust or less operated most of the time in mid-range, not full "throttle") should get at least 3 hours of trolling out of this battery... that is my interest in this battery.

I have not noticed any significant change, nor will you. All electric motors of a specific horsepower will use a similar amount of electricity, with minor exceptions. However, this motor is much quieter, but I only run it 5 to 6 hours per day. Many say 4 hours is sufficient.
