▶ Cadence
Cadences above 50 revolutions per
minute optimize the efficiency of the
drive unit. Very slow pedaling, espe-
cially in high gears, on the other hand,
costs the battery more energy.
▶ Weight
Weight should be minimized by keeping
the total weight of the bicycle and cargo
from being unnecessarily high.
▶ Starting & braking
As with a car, frequent starting and
stopping is less economical than long
distances at almost constant speed.
▶ Shifting system
Correct gear shifting also makes eBiking
more efficient. It is best to start off and
tackle inclines in a low gear, then shift
to a higher gear in accordance with the
terrain and speed. The computer pro-
vides shift recommendations.

▶ Tire pressure
Rolling resistance can be minimized with
the right tire pressure. Tip: To maximize
the range, inflate the tires to
the maxi-
mum permissible pressure.
▶ Motor performance indicator
Use the motor performance indicator
on the Intuvia, Kiox and Nyon computers
to monitor the motor and adapt your
riding style accordingly. A longer bar
indicates higher power consumption.
▶ Battery & temperature
With decreasing ambient temperature,
the
performance and range of a battery
is temporarily reduced, as the electrical
resistance increases. Therefore, in cold
temperatures, a temporary decrease in
the usual range is to be expected.
