5.2   Distance

The distance you can travel using the power assist with 

the battery fully charged depends on several factors:

•

Ambient temperature 

If it is colder, you will travel a shorter distance 

with the same battery charge. 

To maximise the distance you can travel, keep the 

battery in a heated room so that it is at room tem-

perature when you fit it on your Pedelec.

As the battery discharges when the motor is in use, 

it generates enough heat to not lose too much of its 

power at low ambient temperatures.

Selected assist level  

If you want to cover a large distance assisted by 

the motor, select the lower gears, i.e. the ones that 

are easier to pedal. Also select a low assist level. 

"ECO" then appears on the control panel.
