Range
NOTE: It is important to remember all electric bicycles have a riding range that
can vary greatly depending on the age of your battery, riding style, amount of
pedaling, speed, terrain, tire pressure, temperature, payload, and wind.
FACTORS THAT WILL DECREASE YOUR RANGE
• Rapid accelerations using the motor
• Uphill riding
• Heavy payloads
• Headwinds
• Underinated tires
• Extreme hot or cold weather
HOW TO INCREASE YOUR RANGE
• Start by pedaling instead of only using the motor.
• Avoid rapidly accelerating using the throttle.
• Pedal to help the motor up steep hills. Use the gears (optional accessory).
• Reduce payload weight.
• Properly inate the tires between 20-25 PSI.
• 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 will have no negative effect.
• Make sure to lube the chain regularly.
• Operating temperatures between 40°F-85°F (4°C-30°C) will signicantly
increase range.
