48 BATTERY & CHARGING
Note that under different conditions the
range can differ strongly. Our tests have been
carried out on flat terrain, at temperatures of
approximately 20 degrees Centigrade, at an
average speed of 20 km/h and an approximate
total weight of 75kg.

Why is there such a large difference between the minimal
and maximal advised range?
The main difference is caused by the level of support.
Particularly the Brose middle engine, fitted into the
Performance MD11, MD11 Speed, and MN380, has a very
energy efficient lowest setting, and thus a high maximum
range. The range rapidly decreases at higher support levels.
But there are more factors which can significantly influence
the range. A few examples:
• The total load (weight of bicycle, cyclists, and load)
• The resistance (wind, tyre tension, gear, road surface,
and height differences)
• The outside temperature
• Age of the battery (battery capacity decreases as
battery ages)
What can I do to increase the range?
Many factors which influence the range are incontrollable.
However, there are a few tips for the trained cyclist to
increase their distance travelled on a single battery charge
Make sure the tire pressure is correct
An under inflated tire results in a lot of drag which
diminished the efficiency of the motor strongly. Make sure
the tire is inflated close to the maximum indicated pressure
(see side of the tire wall)
Change gears in time
With the powerful motor assistance it almost feels
unnecessary, but be aware that changing your gears in time
can make a major difference in the effective range of your
battery charge. Especially taking off at a traffic light in the
wrong gear can cost a lot of extra energy.
