Frequent braking and starting, riding uphill against a strong wind, starting from a standstill and riding on
rough or muddy roads, and carrying more than one person, or heavy loads will consume extra battery power and
shorten the range.
A few tips to prolong the battery life during these condition is as frequently.
1. Frequent Braking-try to look ahead and coast rather than stop and go frequently.
2. Riding uphill or against a stiff wind-pedal to make supplement to the battery power.
3. When starting from a standstill-use the pedals to help bring you up to speed.
4. When the battery meter indicators the voltage is low, switch to manual power and avoid using the
battery so you don’t shorten the battery life.
5. If the battery is being stored, remove the battery from the bicycle and recharge it every month.
