FACTORS AFFECTING THE EBIKE´S TRAVEL DISTANCE
The riding distance of the eBike is affected by many various factors and therefore it is very difficult
to define the number of kilometres on one charge. The key factors include:
• the route profile (flat terrain vs. long sharp elevations)
• weather – temperature, headwind (ideal temperature is around 20°C, windless)
• weight of the rider and the load (higher weights = higher consumption)
• technical condition of the eBike (well-adjusted and greased eBike has lower resistance)
• pressure in tyres (underinflated tyres = higher consumption)
• riding style (the more power you spend, the lower consumption)
• selected assistance mode (higher mode = larger consumption)
• actual battery capacity (higher capacity = longer travel distance)
RECOMMENDATION
In order to achieve maximum travel distance take care of the technical condition of your eBike
and keep the recommended tyre pressure. Battery condition is also very important therefore
look after the battery according to this manual. Try to use the lowest assistance mode to ensure
pleasant ride and prevent from excessive use of battery power.
By selecting correct gear you can increase speed by using the same power and extend the travel
distance.
BATTERY TRANSPORT
The transport of batteries is subject to the regulations on hazardous goods. Undamaged batteries can be
transported by private users on the roads without fulfilling further conditions.
During the transport by commercial users or transport by third persons it is necessary to observe special
packaging requirements and marking (e.g. ADR regulations).
Send the batteries only if they don´t have undamaged cover. Seal up the free contacts and pack the battery
to prevent it from movement inside the package. Notify the delivery service of hazardous goods.

BATTERY STORAGE

Store the battery on dry and well-ventilated place, outside direct sunlight and other heat sources,
at temperature within scope from -10°C to 40°C (optimum around 20°).
In case of storage in cool environment, it is necessary to warm-up the battery prior to ready-to-use-condition up
to optimum operating temperature (20 °C).
Never leave the battery completely discharged. It could suffer permanent damage.
In case of long-term storage (for example during winter) keep the battery fully charged to approx. 60-80% of its
capacity. Do not store it permanently connected to the charger or placed on your eBike.
Lithium batteries gradually discharge even if not used (approximately 5-10% capacity per month). Regularly
check the battery and in case of capacity drop charge it up to the recommended level 60-80%.
RECOMMENDATION
Batteries Li-lon are fully recyclable. After the termination of the battery service life you can hand
it over to any collection yard or by your dealer.
