CONDITIONS THAT EFFECT BATTERY RANGE
Ambient temperature: Extreme cold and heat can deplete the battery’s charge more quickly.
Number of charges/discharges: The more charge/discharge cycles the battery has undergone, the
less capacity it will have.
Headwinds: Riding into a strong headwind will cause the motor to use more energy.
Road conditions: Hilly and rough terrain will cause the motor to use more energy.
Luggage: Carrying extra luggage on the carrier or in a backpack will cause the motor to use more
energy.
Rider weight: A heavier rider will cause the motor to use more energy than with a lighter rider.
Acceleration from a standing stop: Since more energy is used during initial acceleration, riding in
conditions that force you to start and stop often (i.e. city traffic) will cause the motor to use more
energy.
Proper gear usage: Pedaling in the correct gear for the terrain will help save energy for both you and
the battery.
Poor maintenance: A dry or dirty chain and under-inflated tires can cause the motor to use more
energy.

Discharge the battery as much as possible before recharging.
Use the proper gears while accelerating or riding uphill.
Don’t ride with under inflated tires and keep the chain clean and well lubricated.
