Riding without Power Assistance
Your UNI MK Classic/Swing is designed to be ridden normally like a conventional bike if the power assist is turned off. If you are going downhill or
want to extend your range you can turn off the assistance but keep the display on to watch your speed. However, if the battery runs
empty during your ride, the lights will not function since they are connected to the motor battery.
Range of Battery
Range varies depending on factors such as:
Average riding speed
The faster you go the more energy is required and the quicker the battery will be depleted. However, if you ride faster than the maximum
assist speed, the motor assist will completely shut off and the motor will not drain the battery.
Assistance level used
The best way to conserve battery power is pedaling effort! Using less assistance and exerting more effort into pedaling will decrease
battery power consumption and result in a longer range.
General maintenance
Keep Tire pressure correctly inflated. Maintain and lubricate moving parts.
Stop-and-go traffic
Starting from a standstill will always require more energy. To extend your range, start in Eco mode.
Rider’s weight and cadence
The motor will use up more energy for heavier riders. Keeping a cadence of at least 60 rpm will be more efficient.
Road conditions (road surface, terrain, wind)
Unpaved (dirt, gravel) roads, headwinds, and going uphill will reduce your range.
Battery capacity. Batteries, measured in watt-hours, have different energy capacities. In general, the more watt-hours, the
longer the range, the more expensive battery, the heavier your E-Bike is. Ambient temperature can have a significant
impact on battery capacity. Battery capacity is tested at a reference temperature of 23°C (73F). Large deviations from the
reference temperature will drain the battery faster due to changes in internal resistance and will shorten the range. As the
battery ages, the original capacity diminishes. You can always check the amount of charge remaining in the battery from
the control display.
