Frequently Asked Questions
Q. How long does it take to fully charge the battery?
A.
Depends on the state of discharge, and the power of the charger. Most
Vamoose chargers are between 2-3A and will charge the battery in around 4-5
hours if completely discharged. However, more powerful chargers (including a
5A model) will charge the battery faster. That said, the size of the battery also
makes a difference with smaller batteries charging faster than larger ones.
Q. What are the energy costs for a Vamoose electric cycle?
A.
Vamoose electric cycles are extremely efficient. So much so, that if you
charged the cycle every day of the year, it would only cost you about $35. On
average, the cost per full charge will be close to 10 cents. Yep, 10 cents.
Q. Can I ride up hills and against strong headwinds on my electric cycle?
A.
You betcha! One of the main advantages of cycling on a Vamoose electric
cycle is that it increases your average speed when tackling inclines and
headwinds. If you provide a reasonable amount of effort, you should be able
to tackle anything from a 1 in 10 (10%) gradient up to a 1 in 7 (14%) gradient.
Your new Vamoose electric cycle can tackle some of the most arduous
journeys with relative ease. You will be amazed!
Q. Do I need to pedal an electric cycle?
A.
No, all of the Vamoose cycles can be propelled by throttle alone. That said,
the value of a pedal assist cycle is that it has a motor to provide support to
your efforts. The more pedaling and less power used, the longer the battery
life.
Q. What happens if I get a flat tire?
A.
The tires on our cycles are the same as conventional cycle tires. Simply
replace the tube with a tube of the right size and inflate it. No special tires or
parts will be needed.
Q. What happens when I use the brakes under powered assistance?
A.
The motor automatically shuts off power once the brakes lever is activated.
This safety feature provides the most optimum situation for braking, protects
the motor during brake application, and is required by law in Canada.
