BATTERY MAINTENANCE AND POWER-SAVING TIPS
Under normal conditions, on flat, paved terrain, and on a medium power setting, the
average rider can expect to travel between 15-and 20 miles on a full charge without much
pedaling.
With pedaling and using the power as an assist, the rider can use less power than just with
the throttle alone.
Without pedaling, extra battery power will be consumed during:
o
frequent braking and starting
o
riding uphill
o
riding against strong winds
o
starting from a standstill and using only the throttle
o
riding on rough or muddy roads and trails
o
carrying or pulling heavy loads
A few tips to prolong the battery life during these conditions:
o
Frequent braking – try to look ahead and coast, rather than stopping and
going frequently
o
Riding uphill or in stiff winds – pedal to supplement the battery power
o
When starting from a standstill – use the pedals to help bring you up to speed
o
When battery voltage is low, reduce or turn off power setting and switch to
manual pedaling mode.
o
If the bike is being stored for long periods, remove the battery from the
frame and recharge it at least once a month.
