Chemistry determines the cell voltage (1.2V or 1.5V and there are others like Lithium at 3.0V), whether the battery is rechargeable, and how the voltage changes as the battery discharges i.e. at what voltage is the battery considered to be flat or fully charged. Switched mode power supplies. One more point.
The Average Bike Riding Speed. The average road bike speed is between 11 and 12 mph. Bike riding speeds vary widely depending on your riding conditions. When you are zooming down a paved hill, your speed may increase to over 20 mph, while you may slow to only a few miles per hour when you are climbing a steep or rocky grade.
The Ultimate Horse Site reports that the average horse can gallop at approximately 30 miles per an hour, give or take a couple of miles for the individual horse. Older horses, or those that are not well conditioned or have health problems, will probably gallop significantly slower than 30 miles per hour.
