5.2 Distance
The distance you can travel using the power assist with
the battery fully charged depends on several factors:
•
Ambient temperature
If it is colder, you will travel a shorter distance
with the same battery charge.
To maximise the distance you can travel, keep the
battery in a heated room so that it is at room tem-
perature when you fit it on your Pedelec.

As the battery discharges when the motor is in use,
it generates enough heat to not lose too much of its
power at low ambient temperatures.

Selected assist level
If you want to cover a large distance assisted by
the motor, select the lower gears, i.e. the ones that
are easier to pedal. Also select a low assist level.
"ECO" then appears on the control panel.
