4.6 Maximizing Speed & Riding Range
THE HARDER THE MOTOR NEEDS TO WORK, THE FASTER YOUR BATTERY
WILL DRAIN. IN IDEAL CONDITIONS, THE MAXIMUM MILEAGE THAT CAN
BE ACHIEVED PER BATTERY CHARGE IS 18 MILES* AND THE MAXIMUM
SPEED 15.5 MPH.
THE FOLLOWING FACTORS WILL ALSO AFFECT SPEED AND RIDING
RANGE. THEY INCLUDE:
· RIDING SURFACE: TRAVELING OVER A ROUGH SURFACE REQUIRES
MOTOR POWER THAN RIDING ON A SMOOTH ONE.
· CARRYING WEIGHT: MORE WEIGHT RIDER PLUS CARGO DECREASES
ACHIEVABLE RANGE.
· RIDING STYLE: FREQUENT STARTING AND STOPPING WILL REDUCE
THE ACHIEVABLE DISTANCE ON ONE BATTERY CHARGE.
· AIR TEMPERATURE: THE IDEAL TEMPERATURE FOR RIDING AND
STORING THE SHIELD IS BETWEEN 50 90°F 10 35°C.
· INCLINE: THE MOTOR HAS TO WORK HARDER TRAVELING UPHILL
THAN ON FLAT STRETCHES OR DOWNHILL.
· BATTERY MAINTENANCE: TIMELY BATTERY CHARGING AFTER EVERY
RIDE HELPS MAINTAIN BATTERY CAPACITY AND STRENGTH.
· TIRE PRESSURE: UNDER OR OVERINFLATED TIRES CAN AFFECT
EFFICIENCY AND PERFORMANCE. KEEP TIRES INFLATED AT THE
RECOMMENDED PRESSURE OF 50 PSI.
*WHEN TESTED CARRYING 143.3 LBS, AT 77°F, AND MOVING AT A SPEED OF 12 MPH.
