INFLUENCES AND TIPS
The ratio between motor power and muscle power can be adjusted individually with the
sensor sensitivity (for instructions see Page 15). The following applies: the smaller the
sensor sensitivity the greater the distance.
The Stromer uses the most energy during acceleration. Try to maintain a constant speed.
In order to avoid short-term accelerations it is recommended to ride with an even
pedaling motion. Ideally, the pressure on the pedal should remain constant during full
crank revolution.
With greater weight (rider and luggage) the motor must use more power during
acceleration and on an incline. Minimize your luggage to obtain greater distance.
Check the tire pressure on a regular basis. With reduced tire pressure the roll resistance
increases which considerably reduces the distance traveled. The recommended tire
pressure can be found on the side of the tire.
With steep inclines the speed and the distance decreases since the motor must output
more power in order to gain speed and elevation.
The efficiency decreases at low speed (up to 10 km/hr). At high speed (as of 35 kg/hr) the
aerodynamic resistance increases considerably. Ride at medium speed in order to obtain
maximum distance.
To increase the distance with recuperation, the braking should only be done electrically,
not mechanically. To do that you will have to ride in recuperation mode or just slightly
tap the brake. The longer the recuperation is active the greater the distance traveled.
Increase the pedaling frequency (low gear) at constant speed; you will now ride more
economically and increase the distance traveled.
The assist mode changes the ratio between motor power and muscle power. You will
save the most battery power when you change to a reduced assist mode on inclines.
