8.2 Range & Care
Influences on Range
The range is affected by a number of factors, such as:
– Assistance level
– Speed
– Gear shifting behaviour
– Tyre type and tyre pressure
– Age and condition of the eBike battery
– Route profile (gradients) and conditions (road surface)
– Headwind and ambient temperature
– Weight of eBike, rider and luggage
For this reason, it is not possible to predict the range accurately before and
during a trip. However, as a general rule:
– With the same assistance level on the drive: The less energy you need to
exert in order to reach a certain speed (e.g. by changing gears optimally),
the less energy the drive will consume and the higher the range per battery
charge will be.
– The higher the selected assistance level under otherwise constant
conditions, the smaller the range will be.
Taking Care of your eBike
Please observe the operating and storage temperatures of the eBike
components. Protect the drive unit, on-board computer and eBike battery
against extreme temperatures (e.g. from intense sunlight without adequate
ventilation). The components (especially the eBike battery) can become
damaged through extreme temperatures. All components fitted to the
drive unit and all other components of the drive (e.g. chainring, chainring
receptacle, pedals, cranks) must only be replaced with identical components
or components that have been specifically approved by the manufacturer
of your eBike. This will protect the drive unit from overloading and becoming
damaged. When replacing the crank, make sure to use exactly the same
crank as a spare part, so that damage to the drive unit is ruled out. If you have
any questions and for further information, contact an authorised Whyte bike
retailership. Do not immerse any components, including the drive unit, in
water or clean them with pressurised water. Have your eBike checked by an
expert at least once a year (including mechanical parts, up to date system
software). Please have your eBike serviced and repaired by an authorised
bicycle retailer.
