9. NOTES ON BATTERY DURATION
- Battery duration may vary signicantly (from 20 to 150 km) depending on the type of use and the age of
the batteries (on average, battery duration is reduced by approx. 40 % after 3 or 4 years).
The main factors that aect battery duration are:
Factor Relevance Eect on duration
• Weight of rider and load * Decreases as the weight of the rider and any accessories increases.
• Tyre pressure * Decreases as the tyre pressure decreases.
• Type of road surface * * Decreases signicantly when riding on mud, damp grass, or irregu-
lar surfaces, increases on smooth surfaces.
• Climbing * * * Decreases as the gradient increases.
• Gear ratio * * Decreases when using “harder” ratios (e.g. 11 or 13), increases when
using “easier” ratios (e.g. 36th).
• External temperature * Decreases by approx. 15% if the temperature falls below 0°C.
• Speed * * * Decreases exponentially as the speed increases.
• Wind * * Decreases signicantly in the presence of a head wind in excess of
15 km/h, negligible variations at lower wind speeds.
• Assistance setting * * Decreases as the requested pedalling assistance level increases
(long duration in “Cruise” setting, short duration in “Sport” setting).
• Stationary start * * Decreases the more often the “stop&go” function is used, since the
bicycle consumes almost 3 times as much power during the acceler-
ation phase as when it is travelling at a constant speed.
