3.1.2 Range
Various factors determine how far you can go with your battery:
When you go on a long trip it is worth taking a spare battery
or battery charger with you.
Ride profile: You need the most power in the highest ride profile. The range
becomes shorter.
Vary the assist modes you use. If there is a tailwind when
going downhill or on the level, you can still go fast with a
lower assist mode.
Tyre pressure: If the tyre pressure is too low it is harder for the tyres to
rotate. The drive unit needs to provide more assistance and the range
decreases.
Riding style: A low pedalling speed combined with high gears results in
high power consumption.
Change down in good time to maintain constant cadence,
especially when starting.
Your fitness level: The fitter you are, the less assistance you will need.
IMPORTANT
Only use the battery to operate this pedelec, otherwise there is a risk
of damage to the device.
Batteries are subject to the dangerous goods regulations.
Private users are permitted to transport them on the
road without further conditions. When transported by
commercial third parties (such as by air, freight forwarders
and logistics firms), special requirements of packaging
and labelling must be observed. Please contact your cycle
dealer if you have any questions about transportation.
3.1.1 Storage
1. Store the battery in a dry, not excessively warm room. The battery
should not be exposed to direct sunshine. The recommended storage
temperature range is 18 to 23 °C.
IMPORTANT
The battery should not be stored in a fully charged state. A charge
level of 50–70% is ideal. Since the battery loses charge very slowly,
you should only recharge it when only one or two LEDs come on, but
after six months at the latest.
