RIDING IN THE RAIN
Travelling as far as possible on a single battery charge is dependent upon many
variables. Some ways to maximize range include:
• Contribute by pedaling
• Select the lower pedal-assist settings
• Use higher inflation pressures for your tires
• Ride at moderate speeds (higher speeds bring greater wind resistance, putting a
greater load on the motor)
• Avoid riding in stop-and-go traffic.
• Shift gears as conditions change
In many ways, considerations similar to those one takes to improve gas mileage for a
car are likely to be helpful in increasing the range of your new electric bike.
Different riders in different conditions can expect different performance. For example, a
130 pound rider who is pedaling on at terrain will go signicantly further on a charge
than a 230 pound rider in hilly terrain who is not pedaling. This is why distance –per-
charges are estimated in such a broad spectrum.

EVELO Electric Bicycles are designed so that you can operate them in rainy weather.
Factory-level design elements keep the electrical components well-protected.
However, if you do choose to ride in the rain, be aware that necessary braking
distances can be increased significantly, and keep in mind that the road surface can
be slick. Use caution in wet conditions — even if it is not actively raining.
Riding in rain and wet weather is acceptable use and we do recommend that you avoid
circumstances where your bike will be immersed in water, such as riding through a deep
stream. The bike is water-resistant, but not waterproof.
We also recommend that you dry your bike with a soft towel if you having been riding in
wet conditions.
