Maximizing Speed & Riding Range
THE HARDER THE MOTOR NEEDS TO WORK, THE FASTER YOUR BATTERY WILL DRAIN. IN IDEAL CONDITIONS, THE
MAXIMUM MILEAGE THAT CAN BE ACHIEVED PER BATTERY CHARGE IS 5 MILES AND THE MAXIMUM SPEED 10 MPH.
THE FOLLOWING FACTORS WILL ALSO AFFECT SPEED AND RIDING RANGE. THEY INCLUDE:
· RIDING SURFACE: TRAVELING OVER A ROUGH SURFACE REQUIRES MOTOR POWER THAN RIDING ON A SMOOTH ONE.
· CARRYING WEIGHT: MORE WEIGHT DECREASES ACHIEVABLE RANGE.
· RIDING STYLE: FREQUENT STARTING AND STOPPING WILL REDUCE THE ACHIEVABLE DISTANCE ON ONE
BATTERY CHARGE.
· AIR TEMPERATURE: THE IDEAL TEMPERATURE FOR RIDING AND STORING THE OMEGA IS BETWEEN 50 - 90°F (10 - 35°C).
· INCLINE: THE MOTOR HAS TO WORK HARDER TRAVELING UPHILL THAN ON FLAT STRETCHES OR DOWNHILL.
· BATTERY MAINTENANCE: TIMELY BATTERY CHARGING AFTER EVERY RIDE HELPS MAINTAIN BATTERY CAPACITY
AND STRENGTH.
