5.2 Distance
The distance you can travel using the power assist with
the battery lly charged depends on several factors:
• 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.
Rate of discharge at dierent temperatures

Discharge capacity (Ah) or hours of use
Dierence between nor-
mal and low temperature
Rated voltage
Minimum voltage for battery operation (cuto voltage)
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.
• Selected assist level
If you want to cover a large distance assisted by
the motor, select the lower gears, i.e. the ones that
are easier to pedal. Also select a low assist level.
"ECO" then appears on the control panel.
