4. THE BATTERY
RPM/input
Your pedaling rate, or Rotations Per Minute (RPM) influences the
range of the battery. In general, a higher RPM results in more range,
so remember to switch into lower gears as much as possible when
accelerating or climbing a hill. With our QWIC dashboard app you can
review your current rate: try to aim for 70 RPM but maintain a minimum
of 55 RPM.
Tire pressure
Tire pressure plays an important role in battery range. When driving an
e-bike, you will not notice that your tires slowly deflate as the motor will
compensate for this. However, deflated tires will greatly decrease your
range. You can find the minimum and maximum allowed tire pressure on
the sides of your tire and set the pressure according to your preference.
Remember to inflate your tires every two weeks.
Environmental influences
Cold temperatures have a noticeable effect on battery range. The battery
capacity is measured at around 25 °C and will (temporarily) decrease
when it is colder. At 0 °C a fully charged battery only holds 70% of its
maximum capacity and at -10 °C this can even drop to 50%. Take into
account that your battery might also shut down faster in winter.
Effects such as wind, rain of off-road terrain etc. can decrease your range
even more.
4.7. Battery Lifespan
The lifespan of the battery depends on how and how much you have
used it. If you make apply the tips and tricks in this manual you can
easily enjoy your battery for years. Keep in mind however that batteries
will always degrade with use. A decrease between 5-15% per year is
considered normal.
The battery pack can, under ideal conditions, be fully charged and
discharged around 1000 to 1500 times, whereby its performance will
slowly decline with (intensive) usage. When the life-expectancy of the
battery has been reached, it could be in need for a replacement.
BATTERIES, CHARGERS, ACCESSORIES AND
PACKAGING MUST BE RECYCLED IN AN
ENVIRONMENTALLY RESPONSIBLE MANNER.
DO NOT DISPOSE OF THEM WITH HOUSEHOLD
WASTE, BUT HAND THEM IN AT THE DESIGNATED
DISPOSABLE LOCATIONS OF THE MUNICIPALITY.
