Electric bike autonomy: How to choose a battery?
Just like a car tank contains a volume of fuel expressed in liters, an electric bicycle battery contains a quantity of energy expressed in amps/hour or watts/hour.
So like a reservoir, the higher the capacity of a battery (in amps/hours or watts/hours), the more energy it can store for longer rides.
The power of the pedal motor will remain the same regardless of the capacity of the electric bicycle battery chosen.
To simplify things, we have developed an estimated table that takes into account the effort provided by the rider, it allows you to easily determine the capacity of the electric bike battery that will suit you. The consumption table has been made in the most objective and honest way possible, so that customers are satisfied with their purchases.
The fear of running out of battery for the novice user is the main concern, so it is essential to choose the right electric bike battery.
Most want huge batteries for fear of running out.
It is a reasoning which can appear comprehensible but which does not have always direction, because contrary to certain engine BOSCH or others which remain blocked if your battery is empty
i
t is possible to ride your bike home!
Especially since the pedal motor
LIFT-MTB
is very light and allows frictionless pedaling even without the help of the motor.
Novices think that they have a bike that is unusable without assistance, but this is far from the case! You’ll be surprised when you try…
A simple example: take a friend’s bike that is heavier than yours, do you think it is impossible to ride it a few kilometers?
Thanks to the charge indicators on the handlebars, you will be vigilant enough to manage the battery and not find yourself far from home with a flat battery.
When your battery is full, the green, orange, and red lights are on.
After a few kilometers, the green light goes out gradually, then it will be the turn of the orange to go out, when only the red one remains, the BMS will regulate and cut the battery; it only remains to recharge it.
Many parameters are involved.
According to our tests, from one individual to another on the same route, the autonomy can vary from simple to triple!
We propose to choose the battery that seems to you the most adapted to your practice, if after some uses you judge to need a different battery, you will be able to send us back your battery to replace it against another model in the choice in our range* (in Metropolitan France, only under 20 days, global conditions on request)
