4.7 At the end of your ride
If you have any questions, or if you feel anything about your
A2B is not as it should be, ask your Ultra Motor dealer before
you ride again.
4.8 Your range
Factors affecting range:
• Pedal assist mode
• Battery state-of-charge
• Use of gears appropriate to speed
• Tyre inflation pressure
• Front wheel bearings and both brakes (tight bearings or a
dragging brake shoe reduces range)
• Rider weight (it takes more energy to accelerate a heavier
person)
• Your speed and wind conditions (range is reduced when
pedalling hard against a high wind)
• Terrain (travelling on a soft surface or climbing a hill uses
more power)
• Frequent starts and stops (full power from a standing start
draws the most amperage from the battery)
Maximise your range
• Fully charge your battery before each ride
•
Check tyre pressure regularly and inflate to the pressure
of 3.5 bar (51 psi) for front tyre and 4.0 bar (58 psi) for rear
tyre
• Have your A2B serviced periodically to ensure that the wheel
bearings turn freely and both brake discs do not bind the
brake shoes when the brakes are not applied
• Minimise the weight that you carry
• Ride at slower speeds
• Use the economy mode as much as possible and
support the motor by pedalling with your own power
• Keep the chain and derailleur lubricated with bicycle rec
