7.4 Tips
7.4.1 Range
Various factors determine how far you can go with your battery:
When you go on a long trip it is worth taking a spare battery
or battery charger with you.

with friends. If you want to ride fast (e.g going to work),
"Dynamic" will deliver the required boost.
Assist mode: You consume the most battery power in the highest ride
prole.Therangedecreases,thehighertheselectedassistmode.
Vary the assist modes you use. If there is a tailwind when
going down hill or on the level, you can still go fast with a
lower assist mode.
Tire pressure: If the tire pressure is too low it is harder for the tires to
rotate. The drive must provide more assistance – the range decreases.
Rideprole: A low cadence (pedaling rate) combined with high gears
consumes the most battery power.
Change down in good time to maintain constant cadence,
especially when starting.

Outside temperatures: The lower the outside temperatures (e.g. cold in
winter), the shorter the range.

The battery may have to be replaced. To replace the battery,
consult your dealer.
Chosen route: Pedal faster when going uphill or into a headwind. It will be
registered by the power sensor which will cause the motor to work harder.
Charging the smartphone: if you connect a smartphone to your Evo Impulse
Smart display it will consume additional power.
