Assembly & Maintenance Guide
- Battery capacity; the larger the capacity, the more
range the bike will have.
- Battery age; over time your battery will lose the abi-
lity to store charge. The above points will help slow
down this process.
7. Using your eBike battery is better than not. So hop
on your bike and (regularly) take it for a spin!
6. What factors will affect my battery’s range?
- Rider weight & load (Racks, pannier bags, Child
seat).
- Environmental factors such as terrain, gradient, am-
bient temperature & wind. Lower outside temperatu-
res will negatively impact your bike’s range.
- Assistance level that’s selected on the Bafang E-sys-
tem.
- Cadence Efficiency: Drive-train systems will affect
how efficiently your bike will consume energy. For
example single speed on the Am vs Amster-
dam GT with Enviolo Stepless gearing. A variable ra-
tio drive-train allows for more efficient use of energy
than a fixed ratio.
- Torque rating of your motor; a 80Nm torque
mid-motor will help you accelerate faster than a
32Nm hub motor, but will also consume more energy
in the process.
