6.3 Riding your Pedelec eciently

You can monitor and inuence the cost of your journeys

with the Pedelec yourself. You can reduce your consump-

tion and therefore costs by following the tips for achieving

a long range.

The operating costs for battery-operated power assist are

calculated as follows:

• A new battery costs roughly 359euros.

• You can cover 45km on average with one battery

charge.

• You can charge the battery roughly 1,100 times.

• 1,100 charging cycles x 45km = 49,500km

• 359euros: 49,500km = 0.7euro cents / km

• You use roughly 0.47kWh to lly charge the bat-

tery. Assuming a unit price of 20euro cents / kWh,

it costs you 9.4euro cents to lly charge the bat-

tery.

• It costs you 0.2 euro cents / km to cover the aver-

age range of 45 km.

• This means that the maximum cost of consumption

and the battery is 0.9euro cents/km.

The sample calculation has been carried out based on Ger-

man energy prices. The operating costs may therefore be

dierent in locations where other energy prices apply.

7 Battery

Your battery is a lithium cobalt battery, the ideal lithium-

ion (Li-Ion) battery type for this application. One of the

main benets of this type of battery is its low weight

combined with a high capacity. Li-Ion batteries only weigh

half as much as comparable nickel metal hydride or nick-

el-cadmium batteries. This means you carry less battery

weight and more battery power.

7.1 Straightforward charging

› There is no memory eect. You can therefore lly

recharge your battery aer every trip.

› Recharge the battery aer every trip. This means

you can set o immediately the next time you use

your bike and you also increase the service life of

the battery.

› If you are not using the battery, you only have to

recharge it aer 6 months.

7.2 High degree of safety due to battery

management

› The battery cannot be damaged as a result of a

short-circuit. If this were to happen, the battery

management would switch o the battery.

› You can simply leave the battery standing in the

charger as the device has in-built overcharging

protection.

7.3 Straightforward storage

› If you do not need your battery for a while, store it

at a temperature of +10°C when the battery charge

is between 50 and 75%.

These benets are available due to highly eective battery

management that has been adapted to this specic appli-

cation and by tuning the battery for operation with a 250

watt motor.
