Understanding your electric vehicle
ʼ
s range
All electric bicycles have a riding range that can vary
greatly depending on how it is ridden, terrain, payload
and wind. After a few rides, you will get a sense of the
vehicles range.
Factors that will decrease your range:
• Rapid accelerations using the motor
• Uphill riding
• Heavy payloads
• Headwinds
• Under-inflated tires
• Extreme hot or cold weather
How to increase your range:
• Pedal to start instead of only using the motor
• Pedaling to help the motor up steep hills
• Reduce speed and pedal along with the motor
• Reduce payload weight
• Properly inflating your tires
• Coast to avoid sudden stops unless necessary
Notice:
Riding downhill or pedaling when not using
the throttle will not recharge the battery pack. Do not
over-inflate the tires.
