Q. How far will an electric bike take me?
A. This all depends on a few factors. Cycling with pedal assist along a straight road under
normal conditions, the standard battery should last about 15-30 miles (24 - 48 kilometers).
Cycling up steep hills will obviously take more energy out of the battery and factors such as
road surface, wind resistance, weight of the rider and tire pressure will affect your range.
Longer range battery is also available.
Q. What happens if I get a flat tire?
A. The tires on our bikes are the same as conventional bicycles. Simply replace the tube
with a tube of the right size and inflate it. No special tires or parts will be needed.
Q. How do I know when the battery is low?
A. The bicycles have easily visible indicators located on the meters that show the amount of
power remaining. If it is getting low and you don’t think you will make it to your destination,
you can switch off your motor and keep it just for the difficult bits while still pedalling
manually.
Q. Do I have to wait for the battery to empty before I charge it?
A. No. The batteries we use are Lithium-ion batteries which do not suffer from ‘memory
effect’. This means that there is no need to discharge a battery completely before you
recharge it again. You can partially recharge the battery at any time without reducing its
voltage or lifespan. We recommend recharging the battery after every use, regardless of
how far you rode.
Q. Can I put a child’s trailer on an electric bike?
A. Yes. We suggest using one that hooks onto the frame rather than the axle.
NOTE: Be careful when pulling a trailer as weight increases and balance may cause changes.
Q. Can I put an electric bike on a bike rack?
A. Yes, just make sure that the bike rack can hold the weight of your bike.
