8.7 Range of your Pedelec
Range data is based on optimal conditions. This
can be influenced by the following factors:
Level of assistance: The higher the assistance
mode used, the higher the power consumption
and the lower the range.
driving style: With the optimal use of gear shift-
ing, you can save energy. In lower gears, you
need less power, less support, and the drive of
your Pedelec consumes less energy.
Ambient temperature: Batteries discharge faster
at cold outside temperatures and have a shorter
range.
It is best to charge your battery while it is warm
and set it just before you start driving.
Terrain: In hilly terrain, more energy is needed so
the range goes down.
Weather and vehicle weight: In addition to the
ambient temperature, wind conditions also
influence the range. A strong headwind requires
more power when driving. Baggage, etc. will
increase the weight and therefore more force is
required.
Technical condition of your Pedelec: Air pressure
that is too low in the tires increases driving
resistance, especially when riding over a smooth
surface, such as asphalt. The range of your
Pedelec can be reduced by a grinding brake or a
poorly maintained chain.
Charging status of the battery: The charge state
indicates the amount of electrical energy that
is stored in the battery at any given time. More
energy means more range.
