TIP
+ Riding faster consumes more battery.
+ Become familiar with how many miles away your destination is going to be.
+ Keep your battery charge levels above 20 percent which is 57 volts on the display voltmeter.
+ How well the battery is taken care of directly impacts the CTY2’s performance, battery sag and top speed.
BATTERY SAG
Become familiar with the amount of battery sag full throttle
causes in eco mode, normal mode, and sport mode. Sag
is described as the amount of electricity drawn depending
on how much throttle is given. On a colder day it is not
uncommon at full throttle for the voltage sag to be 7 volts
and on warmer days for it to be between 4 volts to 5 volts.
Each mode limits the amount of sag.
Eco mode will help prevent cut offs by reducing battery
sag.
The amount of throttle given directly controls the
amount of battery sag.
BATTERY CUT OFF
When the amount of battery sag falls below 51
volts with a 23ah battery, the Onyx CTY2 will turn
off.
Cut off occurs because the battery management
is protecting the batteries from damage. If it
completely cuts out your battery will reset within 10
seconds. You will need your key fob to unlock the
bike.
One way to prevent the Onyx CTY2 with 23ah
battery from completely cutting off is to immediately
activate regenerative braking by using your rear
brake.
