II User Manual Fast Pedelec
•
Handling
If you are riding in gears that are harder to pedal
and select a high assist level, e. g. when riding
uphill, the motor will support you with plenty of
power. However, this leads to higher consumption,
as with driving a car at high speed on the motor-
way. You will therefore have to recharge the bat-
tery sooner. You can conserve energy when riding
your bike not just by turning the pedals, but also
by applying even pressure throughout each crank
revolution.
•
Technical condition of your fast Pedelec
Make sure the tyre pressure is correct. If you ride
your bike with too little air in the tyres, this can
significantly increase the rolling resistance. The
distance you can travel also decreases if the brakes
are rubbing.
•
Ascents
You pedal harder when riding uphill. This is de-
tected by the power sensor which then allows the
motor to work harder.
Under ideal conditions, you can cover roughly 60 kilome-
tres with the battery fully charged (18 Ah). You can expect
to cover a distance of roughly 35 kilometres using differ-
ent modes of operation.

5.3 Riding your Pedelec efficiently
You can monitor and influence the cost of your journeys
with the Pedelec yourself. You can reduce your consump-
tion and therefore costs by following the tips for increas-
ing the travel distance.
The operating costs for power assist with an 18 Ah battery
are calculated as follows:
•
A new battery costs roughly 599 euros.
•
You can cover 48 km on average with one battery
charge.
•
You can charge the battery roughly 1,100 times.
•
1100 charging cycles x 48 km = 82,800 km
•
599 euros: 82,800 km = 1.13 euro cents / km
•
You use roughly 0.620 kWh to fully charge the bat-
tery. Assuming a unit price of 20 euro cents / kWh,
it costs you 12.4 euro cents to fully charge the bat-
tery and cover a journey length of 60 km.
•
It costs you 0.20 euro cents / km to travel a dis-
tance of 60 km.
•
This means the cost of consumption and the bat-
tery is a maximum of 1.33 euro cents / km.
As
Derby Cycle
is a German manufacturer, the sample cal-
culation is based on German energy prices. The operating
costs may therefore be different in locations where other
energy prices apply.
