I weigh in excess of 100kgs, will this affect the performance of my electric bike, when I am going up hills and make it go slower even if I am pedalling?
A. At low speed (say 10km/hr), on a 2 degree hill, a 75kg person would use approx 25W less power than a 100kg person. In general the heavier a person is, the more power required for the same performance. Q. Is there any way to secure or lock the battery when I leave my electric bike parked or do I have to take it with me? A. The battery is quick locked onto the bike frame. Naturally you still have the choice to take the Battery Pack with you. Q. Can the bicycle be ridden with just pedal power? A. Yes. The choice is yours – battery power, pedal power or a combination of both, the latter actually achieves the best results. Q. When should I recharge batteries? A. The battery can be charged after every ride. We do recommend that when using NiMh cells that every 20th charge you run the battery flat and give it a full charge. This is easily done by riding the bike in top gear, up hills without pedal assist. With LiFePO4 cells we recommend that you charge at the end of each ride to minimise D
