Single long journey vs multiple short journeys
From our experience, a single long journey will consume less energy
compared to multiple shorter trips due to the continuity of the trip.
Weight
The total mass on the bike decreases your range exponentially. For
example, adding 10 kg of groceries can result in a 10% decrease in range.
RPM/input
Your pedaling rate, or Rotations Per Minute (RPM) influences the
range of the battery. In general, a higher RPM results in more range,
so remember to switch into lower gears as much as possible when
accelerating or climbing a hill. Think of shifting down like in a car, where
you would not be able to drive away in a higher gearing.
Tire pressure
Tire pressure plays an important role in battery range. When driving an
e-bike, you will not notice that your tires slowly deflate as the motor
will compensate this. However, deflated tires will greatly decrease your
range. You can find the minimum and maximum allowed tire pressure on
the sides of your tire and set the pressure according to your preference.
Remember to inflate your tires every two weeks.
Environmental influences
Cold temperatures have a noticeable effect on battery range.
The battery capacity is measured at around 25 °C and will (temporarily)
decrease when it is colder. At 0 °C a fully charged battery only holds 70%
of its maximum capacity and at -10 °C this can even drop to 50%. Take
into account that your battery might also shut down faster in winter.

info
Your bike is fitted with a power meter and with this you can see how
much energy your motor is currently using. You can use this to see
what effect a lower gearing and head wind can have on your usage
without you even noticing. Try to get the usage down as far as
possible to get as far as possible!
bell At QWIC we try very hard to keep our range estimation as accurate
as possible. However, because of so many factors it is very difficult
to predict. We advise to drive the battery nearly empty a few times
under different circumstances and power levels to familiarise
yourself with the battery's potential in combination with
your driving behaviour to learn your personal maximum range.
