EFLOW E3 NITRO - Factors Affecting Range; Tips to Maximize Range

Range
o Many factors affect the range that you will experience
with the bicycle. These include:
Battery state-of-charge
Mode setting (the bike will use less power in the PAS
Mode due to the required contribution of the rider.)
Tire ination pressure
Adjustment of the wheel bearings and brakes (tight
bearings or a dragging brake shoe will adversely
affect range.)
Rider weight (it takes more energy to accelerate a
heavier person.)
The speed at which you travel, and local wind
conditions (air resistance increases exponentially
with speed.)
Terrain (road surface and hills; traveling on a soft
surface, such as dirt or gravel, or climbing a hill uses
energy faster.)
Lots of starts and stops (full power from a standing
start draws the most amperage from the battery.)
o There are many things that you can do to maximize
your range. These include:
Fully charge your battery before each ride.
Ride in the PAS Mode and pedal! Enjoy the health
benets available from cycling. Every watt of
power that you provide is one less watt that the
battery has to provide. Make your bicycle a true
human/electric hybrid!
Check your tire pressure regularly and inate the
tires to the maximum pressure printed on the tire
sidewall.
Have your bicycle serviced periodically to ensure
that the bearings turn freely and the brakes do not
rub the rims when they are not applied.
Minimize the weight that you carry.
Ride at slower speeds.
Accelerate more slowly. Assist the system by
