With proper care and maintenance your Currie Technologies® Hybrid Electric Bicycle will provide ease of use and be fun to ride.
Below are points that will help you to maximize the enjoyment you get from your new hybrid electric bicycle.
Factors to maximize the range oF your hybrid electric bicycle
- the more the rider pedals the further the distance traveled. Continuous riding, as opposed to
frequent stopping and starting, will yield the greatest range possible
- the flatter the road the further the distance traveled
- cold weather can adversely affect the battery capacity
- traveling with a tailwind will increase distance traveled, traveling into a headwind will decrease distance
traveled
- the smoother the terrain (roadways vs. fireroads, etc.) the further the distance traveled
- the lighter the rider, resulting in less drain on the batteries, the further distance traveled
- a properly maintained bicycle will yield the greatest range possible
- properly inflated tires have less rolling resistance and will be easier to pedal
- properly charged and maintained batteries will yield the greatest range possible. Batteries stored in
coldareas(below50degreesFahrenheit/10degreesCelsius)willshowreducedrange.Batteriesthathavenot
been kept in optimum condition will show reduced range and run time.
