5.1- Suggestions to optimize the range
• Pedal: slow pedalling consumes a lot of energy; maintain a pedalling frequency
higher than 70 rpm to optimize the efficiency.
• Driving style: many hard braking and starts produce more consumption, when
possible, prefer a constant speed.
• Gear shifting: when starting and climbing it is better to use lower gears, while it is
better to use higher gears only on adequate route and with proper speed.
• Tires pressure: keep the tires with the maximum allowed pressure to improve the
range.
• Temperature and battery: battery range decreases when temperature lowers (because
the electric resistance increases) so in winter the range is reduced.
• Weight: reduce the bicycle weight and luggage at the minimum.
NOTE: if the battery charging level is low, the motor cannot exploit all its power. In
this case, for a longer battery range, it is recommended to set a low level of pedal
assistance.
