BATTERY & CHARGING
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.
Try a lower power assistance level
Especially on flat terrain, under normal circumstances the
highest assistance levels on the motor are too powerful.
Sometimes a lower level can lead to a more comfortable
experience. If a long range is your goal, try a lower
assistance level. You will see you’ll get a lot further!
