BATTERY RANGE
The speci ed, model-dependent range is a maximum. In our in-house driving tests, these ranges could be
easily achieved or even exceeded. However, far shorter ranges of less than
The range with one battery charge depends on many factors, such as:
Assistance level / driver's own contribution - use smaller assistance levels and increase your
own contribution to maximize the range.
Driving speed - higher speeds, especially with higher support levels, cost more battery
power.
Cadence - higher cadence (faster pedaling) optimize e ciency, slow pedaling costs more
energy.
Starting and braking - Frequent braking and the associated starting drains the battery
faster than long distances at a constant speed.
Rider's physical tness - the more and more often you ride a bike, the more you increase
your physical tness and will achieve greater ranges
Shift behavior of the driver (if there is a shift) - correct shifting optimizes e ciency, starting
and climbing is best done in a small, light gear.
Road conditions - at road surfaces reduce rolling resistance and increase range.
Wind conditions / driver's posture - upright sitting positions increase wind resistance, and
driving in headwind requires more energy.
Weight - The total weight of the bike, luggage and rider should be kept as low as possible.
Tire pressure - minimize the rolling resistance by tting the tire pressure, a higher tire
pressure ensures a lower rolling resistance.
Temperature - With lower temperatures, the performance of the battery decreases. In
winter, the ranges decrease with one battery charge. Store the battery at room
temperature in winter and only insert it into the bike when you start your journey.
Computer Performance Indicator - Some computer models show engine power, an average
lower power rating means a longer range.
