Range.
The maximum range of a full charge depends on many variables such as: age of battery, type of terrain and incline, rider weight, speed, outside
temperature, driving style, amount of pedaling and tire pressure.
Range in cold weather:
- In case of extreme cold, the range of your electric bike is reduced. It is a normal physical process, and in no way a sign of damage or
defect of the battery. If you use your battery when temperatures rise, its energy will increase again.
- We advise you to store the battery and charge it at room temperature during cold days. The power consumption warms the battery and you
benefit from a good battery life, even when it is cold outside. In winter, plan for shorter trips or pedal with a lower level of assistance.
Conditions that affect your battery’s range:
- Temperature: Extreme cold and heat can affect the battery’s capacity.
- Total Number of Charge Cycles: The battery has a total of 600 - 800 full cycles when it’s new.
- As the battery ages, total capacity can decrease.
- Wind: Riding into a strong headwind can decrease range.
- Road Conditions: Excessively rough or hilly terrain requires the consumption of more power.
- Load: Carrying extra cargo on the bike or in a backpack will use more energy.
- Rider Weight: The weight of the rider can affect the energy usage of the bike, with more weight requiring more energy.
- Repeated acceleration from a standing start.
- Poor Maintenance: Issues like under-inflated tires, mal-adjusted brakes and a dry or dirty chain can decrease range.
Tips for Maximizing Range:
- Charge the battery at a comfortable temperature range between 65°F - 75°F (18.3°C-23.9°C).
- Lithium-ion batteries have no chemical memory, and it is not necessary to discharge the battery completely for the best performance. Charging
a partially-full battery will have no negative effect.
- Maintain proper tire pressure and lube the chain regularly.
- Operating temperatures between 40°F - 85°F (4°C - 30°C) will significantly increase range.
