5.7 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.
5.8 Recharge your discharged battery
Fully recharge your battery within 3 days if the battery is
completely discharged because a lithium ion battery left
in a discharged condition deteriorates much faster than a
fully charged battery. See 6.2 & 6.3.
5.9 Your range
Factors affecting range:
• Battery state-of-charge
• Tire inflation pressure
• Front wheel bearings and both brakes (tight bearings
or a dragging brake shoe reduces range)
• Rider weight (it takes more energy to accelerate a
heavier person)
• Your speed and local wind conditions (range is reduced
when travelling fast against a high wind)
• Terrain (travelling on a soft surface or climbing a hill uses
more power)
• Lots of starts and stops (full power from a standing start
draws the most amperage from the battery)
Maximize your range
• Fully charge your battery before each ride
• Check tire pressure regularly and inflate to 2.8 bar (40 psi)
(printed on the tire sidewall)
• Have your A2B serviced periodically to ensure that the
front bearings turn freely and both brake discs do not rub
the brake shoes when they are not applied
• Minimize the weight that you carry
• Ride at slower speeds
• Accelerate more slowly and pedal as you accelerate to
your cruising speed
• Keep the chain and derailleur lubricated with bicycle
recommended chain spray
