Optimizing the range of the battery
The following factors inuence the range of your battery:
1. Topography
Riding in mountainous terrain requires a much higher energy input compared to riding in at areas.
2. Climbing
Riding up steep hills requires much more energy than riding on at ground. More eort or possibly a
change to a more gradual route can aect overall range.
3. Level of assistance
Choose the level of assist required based on riding conditions, rather than just riding in one particular
level all the time. Remember that energy consumption more than doubles from level 2 assist to level 4
4. Battery state of charge
Make sure the battery is fully charged before every ride. This will provide the best possible range from
the battery each time.
5. Weight and load capacity
Every ounce counts! Limit your cargo, think about getting an ecient type of bicycle for the system,
even what type of gear you wear.
6. Tire pressure (bold)
Tires with pressure that is low will have increased rolling resistance, and require more energy from
the battery. It is important to regularly check your tire pressure, the max. pressure is typically written
on the sidewall of any tire. Slick, skinny, high pressure tires oer the most eciency for you and your
battery.
7. Acceleration and constant speed
It is important to ride eciently; electric propulsion systems consume more energy when accelerating
from a standing position. Try to keep your speed constant, starts and stops greatly aect your overall
range.
8. Outside inuences/weather
You will notice some dierence in range when it is very hot or cold outside, this inuences how
quickly the battery will discharge. Headwinds can also greatly aect system performance. Expect more
range on days with moderate climate.
9. Cadence and Shifting
Keeping your cadence high (between 80-90 rpm) is the most ecient pedaling range for most cyclists.
A high pedaling rate in combination with the lowest level of assist will oer the most range, the more
slowly you pedal and the more you rely on the electric assist, the less range you will get. Use your
shifters to ride eciently, just as you would with any other bicycle!
