Tips
7.4.1 Range
Various factors determine how far you can go with your battery:
When you go on a long trip it is worth taking a spare battery
or battery charger with you.
Ride profile: You need the most power in the highest ride profile (POWER).
The range becomes shorter.
Select the ride profile in line with the routes you ride. For
a leisurely tour with friends at the weekend, the “ECO”
assistance level is the right choice. If you often cycle at
greater speed (such as to work), the “Power” setting can
inject the necessary pace.
Assistance mode: You consume the most battery power in the highest
assistance mode. The range decreases, the higher the selected assistance
mode is.
Vary the assistance modes you use. If there is a tailwind
when going downhill or on flat surfaces, you can still go fast
with a lower assistance mode.
Tyre pressure: If the tyre pressure is too low it is harder for the tyres to
rotate. The drive unit needs to provide more assistance and the range
decreases.
Riding style: A low pedalling speed combined with high gears results in a
high-power consumption.
Switch on a low gear in good time to maintain constant
cadence, especially when starting.
Your fitness level: The fitter you are, the less assistance you will need.
Total weight: The lower the total weight supported by the bike, the easier
it will be to ride

.
Outside temperatures: The lower the outside temperatures (e.g. cold in
winter), the shorter the range.
Insert the battery just before starting off with your Pedelec.
This way you prevent low temperatures shortening the
range.
Battery capacity: A much shorter service life after the charging process
indicates that the battery has lost considerable capacity.

.
The battery may have to be replaced. Discuss how to
proceed with your cycle dealer.
Route selected: You need to pedal harder when cycling uphill or against
strong head wind. This is registered by the power sensor which in turn
requires the drive to work harder.
