8.3 Range
The distance you can travel using the power assist with
the battery lly charged depends on several factors:
• Selected assist level
If you want to cover a large distance with power
assist, select the smaller gears, i.e. the ones that
are easier to pedal. Also select a low assist level.
• Handling
If you are riding in gears that are harder to pedal
and select a high assist level, the motor will pro-
duce plenty of power to help you along. However,
just as with driving a car at high speed, this leads
to higher consumption. You will therefore have
to recharge the battery sooner. You can conserve
energy by keeping the load on the pedals even
throughout the entire crank revolution.
• Ambient temperature
If it is colder, you will travel a shorter distance
with the same battery charge.
To maximise the distance you can travel, keep the
battery in a heated room so that it is at room tem-
perature when you t it on your Pedelec.
As the battery discharges when the motor is in use,
it generates enough heat to not lose too much of
its power at low ambient temperatures. The bat-
tery cells can discharge at temperatures of -15 to
+60°C.
• Technical condition of your Pedelec
Make sure the tyre pressure is correct. If you ride
your bike with too little air in the tyres, this can
signicantly increase the rolling resistance. This
applies to smooth surfaces in particular, e.g. tar-
mac. If the ground is uneven, as on a country path
or gravel track, a somewhat reduced tyre pressure
can lead to less rolling resistance. This also in-
creases the risk of a puncture. Please consult your
specialist cycle shop about this. The distance you
can travel also decreases if the brakes are rubbing.
• Battery capacity
The range also depends on the current capacity of
the battery ➠
Chapter 5.2.2 “Checking the capacity”.
• Topography
You pedal harder when riding uphill. This is de-
tected by the power sensor which then allows the
motor to work harder.
Under ideal conditions, the range may reach 85 km
with the 11 Ah battery and 120 km with the 15.5 Ah
battery. These ranges have been achieved under
the conditions listed below.
8.4 Riding your Pedelec eciently
You can monitor and inuence the cost of your journeys
with the Pedelec yourself. You can reduce your consump-
tion and therefore costs by following the tips for increas-
ing the range.
The operating costs for power assist with an 11 Ah battery
are calculated as follows:
• A new battery costs roughly 599euros.
• Throughout the total service life of a battery, you
can cover roughly 70 kilometres with one charge
cycle.
• You can charge the battery roughly 1,100 times.
• 1,100 charging cycles x 70km = 77,000 km
• 599euros: 77,000km = 0.78 euro cents per
kilometre.
• You use roughly 0.565kWh to lly charge the
battery. Assuming a unit price of 28.5euro cents
per kWh, it costs you 16.1euro cents to lly charge
the battery.
• To cover the average range of 70 kilometres, it
costs you 0.23 euro cents.
• This means the cost of consumption and the bat-
tery is a maximum of 1.01euro cents/km.
The sample calculation has been carried out based on
German energy prices. The operating costs may vary
depending on the energy prices you pay.
