E-MOTO ELECTRIC BICYCLE User Manual - Conditions That Effect
Conditions that effect
your battery’s range:
Ambient Temperature: Extreme
•
cold and heat can effect the bat-
teries capacity.
Total Number of Charge Cycles:
•
As the battery ages, total capac-
ity can decrease.
Wind: Riding into a strong head-
•
wind can decrease range.
Road Conditions: Excessively
•
rough or hilly terrain requires
the consumption of more power.
Load: Carrying extra weight on
•
the rear carrier or in a backpack
will use more energy.
Operator Weight.
•
Repeated Acceleration from a
•
Standing Start.
Proper Gear Usage: Taking full
•
advantage of the available gears
will significantly increase range.
Poor Maintenance: Under
•
inflated tires, misadjusted brakes,
a dry or dirty chain, can decrease
range.
Tips for Maximizing
Range:
Charge the battery at room
•
temperature (32-85F)
Although Lithium Ion batteries
•
have no chemical memory,
discharge the battery as much
as possible before charging for
best performance. Charging a
partially full battery will have no
negative effects.
Use the bicycles gears as much
•
as possible when encountering
terrain.
Maintain proper tire pressures
•
and lube the chain regularly.
Operating temperatures
•
between 40F and 85F will
significantly increase range.
Get your bike a regular (every

Maximum range on a full charge can vary depending on many variables, such
as: battery age, terrain, rider weight, temperature, riding style and speed. This

rider weight of 176lbs. Maximum range exceeding these figures is normal and
not cause for concern.
