Conditions that affect your battery’s range:
• Temperature: Extreme cold and heat can affect the battery’s capacity.
• Total Number of Charge Cycles: As the battery ages, total capacity can decrease.The
• The battery has a total of 1,000 full cycles when it’s new.
• Wind: Riding into a strong headwind can decrease range.
• Road Conditions: Excessively rough or hilly terrain requires the consumption of more
• power.
• Load: Carrying extra cargo on the bike or in a backpack will use more energy.
• Rider Weight please observe the max weight of
325 lbs (147kg).
• Repeated acceleration from a standing start.
• Poor Maintenance: Under-inflated tires, mal-adjusted brakes, a dry or dirty chain, can
• decrease range.
Tips for Maximizing Range:
• Charge the battery at a comfortable temperature range between 65°F - 75°F (18.3°C-
23.9°C)
• Lithium-ion batteries have no chemical memory, and it is not necessary to discharge
the battery completely for the best performance. Charging a partially full battery will
have no negative effect.
• Maintain proper tire pressure and lube the chain regularly.
• Operating temperatures between 40°F - 85°F (4°C - 30°C) will significantly increase
range.
Range in cold weather:
• In case of extreme cold, the range of your electric bike is reduced. It is a normal
physical process, and in no case a damage or defect of the battery. If you use your
battery when temperatures rise, it’s energy will increase again.
• We advise you to store the battery and charge it at room temperature during cold
days. The power consumption warms the battery and you benefit from a good battery
life, even when it is cold outside.
• In winter, however, plan for shorter trips or pedal with a lower level of assistance.
RANGE
The maximum range of a full charge depends on many variables such as: age of battery,
type of terrain and incline, rider weight, speed, outside temperature, driving style, amount of
pedaling, or tire pressure.
DANGER!
Never charge the battery in a flammable environment. For safety reasons, the charger
and the battery must be placed on a dry, non-flammable surface.
Never charge or use a defective battery. Never send a battery by postal mail by
yourself! A battery is in the category of hazardous/dangerous goods and requires
certification to send by mail. Doing so without proper certification is punishable by law.
Immediately remove the battery from the Super73 if you notice damage to the electrical
system and visit your local E-bike Specialist for inspection or contact Super73 directly.
Any lack of professional expertise may cause damage or serious injury.
