AUTONOMY
The maximum distance that can be traveled on a single battery charge
is approx 25 Km.
However, this value must be considered indicative as it can be influenced
by numerous factors.
Among the factors that can most affect the autonomy of the battery are
the following:
•
Surface:
flat and sliding surfaces are less expensive for the battery
compared to uneven ground, with slopes or that have a consistent fri-
ction.
•
Transported weight:
other conditions being equal, a higher transpor-
ted weight will lead to a reduction in the battery autonomy.
•
Speed and driving style:
a pace with frequent accelerations and bra-
king will discharge the battery faster than a regular and uniform pace.
•
Correct use and maintenance of the battery: c
orrect management of
the battery charging and discharging cycles (see paragraph “How to re-
charge the battery”) will help to maintain the full efficiency of the battery
for longer and to delay its natural decay.
PRELIMINARY CHECKS
BEFORE USE
1. The battery must be fully charged
2. Check that the front and rear brakes are perfectly working
3. Check that the tire pressure is normal, check whether the recom-
mended value is written on the tire. Otherwise apply a pressure of
around 3 bar.
4. Check that the handlebar and saddle are in the correct position for
the driver size
5. Check that the screws and bolts on the wheels are properly tighte-
ned
