pedaling as you accelerate to your cruising speed.
o As your battery ages, it will gradually lose capacity.
With proper care and maintenance, your battery
will retain up to 80% of its capacity over at least 500
discharge/recharge cycles. As capacity diminishes,
you will notice a gradual drop-off in maximum range
capability. When range falls to an unacceptable
level, contact your Currie Tech authorized dealer for
information regarding battery replacement.
A word about hills
o Your eFlow bicycle uses a high torque, precision hub
motor to drive the bicycle under electric power. We
have congured the electrical drive system to provide
ample torque to help you climb hills. However,
depending on the ‘steepness’, length of the hill, and
the mass (weight) that you want to carry up the hill,
you can overstress and damage important elements of
the drive system. Please use the following guidelines to
ensure safe operation:
If you encounter a hill that causes the speed of
your bicycle to drop below 7 miles per hour (11
kilometers per hour) on electric power only (POD
Mode with no pedaling) with the throttle fully
applied, PEDAL to assist the bicycle up the hill.
Failure to do so could overstress the motor and
controller, possibly causing permanent damage to
those components. Further, failure to pedal to assist
the bicycle will overstress the battery, reducing its
capacity and shortening its useful life.
At the end of your ride…
o Fully recharge your battery as soon as possible. A
lithium ion battery left in a discharged condition
will deteriorate much faster than a fully charged
battery.
