brake pads. In emergency braking situations however, always use the hydraulic brake system.
Stop/starts are probably the fastest way to deplete your battery. Power consumption is at its highest when accelerating
off the line. Pedalling while gently rolling the throttle on is definitely the key here. This can certainly be backed up by
watching the Watts on the display climb, peak and then drop off again as the bike picks up speed. Extreme acceleration is
great fun, but it comes at a price..... Range.
Some terrain can really suck your battery dry. When trying to conserve power, try to avoid soft ground, mud, gravel, steep
hills and obstacles. By choosing smooth lines and maintaining your speed, power consumption can be kept at a minimum.
Speed. With speed comes wind resistance (and a few others). The greater the speed, the greater the resistance. The
greater the resistance, the more power you will consume. Traveling at speeds below 25mph (40km/h) can greatly influence
the duration of your ride. The slower you go, the further you will get.
While there are no set rules on when you should apply any of the above recommendations, we have spent hundreds of
hours testing our bikes and collecting data on these points. They are proven to make a substantial difference to range and
as you become more accustomed you your bike, eventually riding efficiently will become intuitive, which will allow you to
save your battery for the times when you really just can't help going full throttle.
