CUSTOMER MANUAL M400 DRIVE SYSTEM
8 RANGE OF YOUR PEDELEC
It is best to charge your battery while it is warm and set it
just before you start driving.
The battery’s drain cycle may be effected by:
• Support level: The higher the assistance level used,
the higher the power consumption and the lower the
range.
• Driving style: With the optimal use of gear shifting, you
can save energy. In lower gears, you need less power,
less support, and the drive of your Pedelec consumes
less energy.
• Ambient temperature: Batteries discharge faster at
cold outside temperatures and have a shorter range.
• Terrain: In hilly terrain, more energy is needed so the
range goes down.
• Weather and vehicle weight: In addition to the ambient
temperature, wind conditions also influence the range.
A strong headwind requires more power when driving.
Baggage, etc. will increase the weight and therefore
more force is required.
• Technical condition of your Pedelec: Air pressure that
is too low in the tires increases driving resistance,
especially when riding over a smooth surface, such as
asphalt. The range of your Pedelec can be reduced by
a grinding brake or a poorly maintained chain.
• Charging status of the battery: The charge status
indicates the amount of electrical energy that is stored
in the battery at any given time. More energy means
more range.
9 TRANSPORTING THE BIKE
Remove the battery of the Pedelec before transportation
and transport it separately.
The battery is not considered a hazardous material when
transported to operate the Pedelec. The battery becomes
a hazardous material when it is transported any other way.
In this case, you must follow the appropriate guidelines.
Never send the battery yourself. Batteries are considered
hazardous materials. Only send the battery of your Pedelec
via your specialist dealer. The battery can ignite or explode
under certain conditions.
By Car
You can transport your Pedelec by car as you would a
normal Pedelec. Before transporting your Pedelec, remove
the battery and transport it separately. The weight of the
Pedelec will call for a heavier-duty rack. Always adjust your
riding behavior to the load you are pulling in the carrier.
On the Train
The same regulations apply as when transporting a bicycle.
Know which busses and trains you can take before using
public transportation. It is best to remove the battery from
the bike before and while using public transportation.
