5.4 Tips
5.4.1 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.
Rideprole: You need the most power in the highest ride prole
(Dynamic). The range becomes shorter.
Select the ride prole in line with the routes you ride. For
a leisurely tour with friends at the weekend, the “Relax”
assist level is the right choice. If you often cycle at greater
speed (such as to work), the “Dynamic” setting can inject
the necessary pace.
Assist mode: You consume the most battery power in the highest assist
mode. The range decreases, the higher the selected assist mode.
Vary the assist modes you use. If there is a tailwind when
going downhill or on the level, you can still go fast with a
lower assist mode.
Tyre pressure: If the tyre pressure is too low it is harder for the tyres to
rotate. The drive unit needs to provide more assistance and the range
decreases.

The lock is now open.
2. Grip the battery in its recess with one hand. With the other, grip the
