The Battery
This secon details what you need to know about the baery that powers your e-bike.
Always remember to treat your e-bike’s electrical systems with respect.
Battery Power
The dashboard has a baery charge indicator. When the e-bike is acvated, the guage
will jump and indicate the currently available baery power. If the power has dropped
signicantly, you should charge your e-bike.
Distance and Power
Your baery has the capacity to carry you anywhere from 35+ km before it must be
recharged. The ability of your baery to power your bicycle depends on many variables.
These variables include the weight of the rider, the prevailing wind resistance, the rider’s
driving habits, the presence of steep hills and inclines, and other issues such as proper air
pressure in the res.
Saving Power
If you are traveling long distances, you can save a lot of electricity by using beer driving
habits:
• Coasng: When going downhill or over long, at road surfaces, try using your e-
bike’s momentum and allow it to coast, without drawing power from the motor.
• Stopping and Starng: Try to avoid stop and go movements. The motor draws
more power when starng from a full stop.
• Weight: Remove unnecessary weight from the bike. This reduces the amount of
power the motor must draw.
• Air Pressure: Make sure your res have the proper air pressure. Proper pressure
reduces drag on the res and radically increases the eciency of any vehicle.
• Head and Tail Lights: Turn o the lights to conserve power, if it is safe to do so.
The lights will reduce the distance you can travel by about 5%.
• Pedalling: When accelerang from a full stop, you might want to try pedaling to
help acceleraon.
