Conditions that affect your battery’s range:
• Temperature: Extreme cold and heat can affect the battery’s capacity.
• Total Number of Charge Cycles: As the battery ages, total capacity can decrease.
• The battery has a total of 1,000 full cycles when it’s new.
• Wind: Riding into a strong headwind can decrease range.
• Road Conditions: Excessively rough or hilly terrain requires the consumption of
more power.
• Load: Carrying extra cargo on the bike or in a backpack will use more energy.
• Rider Weight: please observe the max weight of 147kg (325 lbs).
• Repeated acceleration from a standing start.
• Poor Maintenance: Under-inflated tires, maladjusted brakes, and/or a dry or dirty
chain can decrease range.
Range in cold weather:
• Battery capacity will be temporarily reduced when it is cold. This is a normal
phenomenon and is not indicative of a damaged or defective battery. Once the
battery has been warmed up, the battery capacity should return to normal.
• The battery should be stored and charged at room temperature during cold days.
The power consumption warms the battery and you benefit from a good battery
life, even when it is cold outside.
• During cold weather, plan for shorter trips or pedal with a lower level of
assistance.
The maximum range of a full charge depends on many variables such as: age of
battery, type of terrain and incline, rider weight, speed, outside temperature, driving
style, amount of pedaling, or tire pressure.
RANGE
Tips for Maximizing Range:
• Charge the battery at a temperature range between 18.3°C- 23.9°C (65°F - 75°F).
• Lithium-ion batteries have no chemical memory, and it is not necessary to discharge
the battery completely for the best performance. Charging a partially full battery
should have no negative effect.
• Maintain proper tire pressure and clean/lube the chain regularly.
• Operating temperatures between 4°C - 30°C (40°F - 85°F) should increase range.
DANGER!
Never charge the battery in a flammable environment. For safety reasons, the
charger and the battery must be placed on a dry, non-flammable surface to
reduce the risk of fire.
Never charge or use a defective or damaged battery or charger.
Never attempt to ship a battery! A battery is in the category of hazardous/
dangerous goods and requires certification to send by mail. Doing so without proper
certification is punishable by law.
Immediately remove the battery from the SUPER73 if you notice damage to the
electrical system and visit your local E-bike Specialist for inspection or contact
SUPER73 directly. Failure to seek appropriate professional expertise will give rise to
a risk of injury, death and/or property damage.
