4.8 At the end of your ride
If you have any questions, or if you feel anything
about your A2B is not as it should be, ask your
A2B dealer before you ride again.
Recharge your discharged battery
Fully recharge your battery within 3 days if the
battery is completely discharged because a lithi-
um ion battery left in a discharged condition dete-
riorates much faster than a fully charged battery.
See 5.3 & 5.4.
Your range
Factors affecting range:
• Pedal assist mode
• Battery state-of-charge
• Use of gears appropriate to speed
• Tyre inflation pressure
• Front wheel bearings and both brakes (tight
bearings or a dragging brake shoe reduces range)
• Rider weight (it takes more energy to accelera-
te a heavier person)
• Your speed and wind conditions (range is re-
duced when pedalling hard against a high wind)
• Terrain (travelling on a soft surface or climbing
a hill uses more power)
• Frequent starts and stops (full power from a
standing start draws the most amperage from
the battery)
Maximise your range
• Fully charge your battery before each ride
• Check tyre pressure regularly and inflate to the
pressure of 4.5 bar for front tyre and rear tyre
• Have your A2B serviced at least once a year
to ensure that the wheel bearings turn freely and
the rims do not bind the brake shoes when the
brakes are not applied
• Minimise the weight that you carry
• Ride at slower speeds
• Use the economy mode as much as possible and
support the motor by pedalling with your own power
• Keep the chain and derailleur lubricated with
bicycle recommended chain spray
