Expect a range of about 70 km with medium motor use, flat ground, light wind and for an
average weight person.
The range on ebikes can vary greatly and are heavily dependent on these factors:
•
Battery age
•
Rider and luggage weight
•
Road conditions (gravel or smooth)
•
Tire condition and PSI
•
Wind speed and direction
•
Bike usage (heavy acceleration and high speeds will drain the battery
faster)
•
Road slopes or hills
•
Pedaling power and gear select
ion
• Weather and temperature

•
Fully charge your battery before each ride
•
Ride in pedal-assist mode as much as you feel comfortable- the more you assist the motor, the
longer it will assist you
•
Service your bike periodically, ensuring bearings run smoothly and the brakes do not rub the
rotors or rims
•
Minimize the weight you carry
•
Lubricate the chain every few rides, more so if riding in the rain
•
Clean the drivetrain as often as you can and at least thoroughly clean it once a month
•
Avoid sudden starts and stops
•
Minimize use of the throttle
•
Check and adjust tire pressure
