It may be clear that it's very difficult to say how far you can ride with your power assisted Twist with a full
battery, simply because there are too many factors that have influence.
Under the best possible circumstances, you can cycle
max. 25 ~ 35 km. in "normal" mode
max. 30 ~ 40 km. in "ECO" mode.
In "Eco" mode, the assistance power is about half of the normal mode. It could save the energy consumption
and extend the range. The "ECO" mode saves energy consumption and extends the range with approx.
50%.
Trip distances mentioned here are just a very rough indication. In some cases the power assistance stops
already before the 20 km. mark is reached, while someone else under other conditions may be able to ride
more than 40 km.
Short summary of recommendations for a high range:
J Charge the battery under room temperature (15 ~ 25 degrees C.)
J Try to ride the battery as empty as possible before re-charging
J Refresh-charge after every 15 times normal charging, but at least once every 3 months
J Use the gears while accelerating or riding uphill
J Don't ride with too low tyre pressure and keep the chain clean and well lubricated.
5.2 Storage & transportation
To store the battery
If the battery is going to be stored for an extended period of time, it is recommended to charge the battery
once for every 3 months of storage. If the battery remains in storage without being charged every 3 months,
it's possible that the battery's capability to retain energy is affected.
CAUTION:
Store the battery in a cool, dry, level and safe area with good ventilation and away from any heat source.
If the Lafree Twist bike is stored with the battery in place, turn the power control switch on the handlebar to
the "OFF" position. Leaving the switch in the "ON" position while stored or parked will result in faster energy
loss.
Transportation of Lafree Twist
When transporting your Twist, it is best to remove the battery. The bike becomes lighter, so it is easier to lift
and manoeuvre.
