How to get the most range from your Express

To increase your battery range as much as possible, please consider the following advice:
• Try not to ride against strong headwinds
• Don't ride with more weight (like luggage) than is necessary for a given situation
• Coast down hills instead of running the motor
• Conserve power by using a lower boost setting (such as 1 or 2)
• The Express is great at climbing hills, but consider a flatter route for very long rides
• Riding in conditions that force many starts and stops (such as city traffic) draws more power
from the batteries, because more energy is required to accelerate from a full stop than to
maintain a constant speed. Consider taking routes that have long, uninterrupted stretches of
riding whenever possible.
• Keep your Express properly maintained. Lube the chain, inflate the tires to the pressure
indicated on the sidewall, and have your local bike shop make sure the drivetrain and brakes
are properly adjusted and maintained regularly.
• All batteries are affected by temperature changes; extreme cold or heat can negatively affect
battery capacity and thus range.
