Q. What happens when I use the brakes under
power assistance?
A. All our bikes are equipped with brake levers
that have a built-in safety switch that
automatically cuts o the motor power under
normal braking conditions. This not only
ensures a safe unpowered stopping feature,
but also protects the motor under braking
conditions so it isn’t working against the
brakes.
Q. How far will my electric bike take me?
A. This depends on a few factors. Cycling with
pedal assist along straight road under normal
conditions, the standard battery should
last about 40-60 km. Cycling up steep hills will
obviously use more battery power, and factors
such as road surface, wind resistance, weight
of the rider, temperature and tire pressure will
all aect your range.
Q. How do I know when the battery is low?
A. The bicycles have easily visible indicators
located on the right handlebar or LED screen
that show the amount of power left. If it’s
getting low and you don’t think you will make it
to your destination, you can switch o your
motor and keep it just for the dicult sections.
Q. Do I have to wait for the battery to empty
before I charge it?
A. No. The batteries we use are lithium-ion
batteries which do not suer from ‘memory
eect.’ This means that there is no need
to discharge a battery completely before you
recharge it again. You can partially recharge
the battery at any time without reducing its
voltage or lifespan. We recommend recharging
the battery after every use, regardless of how
far you rode.
