Instruments
Whether analog or digital, all MOTORINO™s have gauges that tell you the
same basic information. A speedometer, an odometer, and a voltmeter
which is the EV equivalent of a gas gauge (but not quite).
Typical gauge cluster.
Speedometer and Odometer
Everybody knows how to read a speedometer and odometer, so we won’t
go into detail other than to say that speedometers have a specified error
margin that is only on the plus side, so you won’t unwittingly be going
faster than you think. That means that speedometers usually read faster
than your actual speed. This is customary in the whole automotive indus-
try. If absolute accuracy is required, a portable GPS or carefully calibrated
bicycle computer are your best options.
Volt Gauge
The battery pack voltage gauge, on the other hand, needs some inter-
pretation in order to gain useful information about how much power you
have left. Much of this interpretation will be obvious after some time in
the saddle, but here are a few points to keep in mind.
The volt gauge, unlike a fuel gauge, is not a direct reading of how much
power or range you have left. It just shows the approximate voltage of
the battery pack.
