Before using the bike for the first time, you must charge the battery for 4 to 6 hours using the included charger.

• Connect the charger to the power outlet. You will notice that the charger light turns on in green, which means that the appliance is working properly.

• Connect the charger to the battery. The charger light changes to red while the battery is charging. Remember that you can charge your battery while inside the bike by means of the connector on the left side of the frame or, if you prefer, charge it off the bike.

• When the battery is fully charged, the charger light will return to the initial green colour.

• To disconnect the charger, it is recommended to first disconnect it from the battery and after the power outlet.

• With the battery fully discharged, the charge duration time is between 6 and 8 hours and will always be dependent on the use given to the bicycle.

• The electricity consumption on each battery charge is 374 to 504 Wh according to battery model.

• Not cover the charger or battery during the charging process. Only use the original charger to charge the battery, otherwise the battery and electronics will not be covered by the warranty.

• Do not charge the battery being below 0o or above 50 °C.

Below we detail the battery models depending on the eBike model of our catalog

All eBikes Legend eBikes Work with lithium batteries. Like any lithium-ion battery, a battery also ages naturally, even if it is not used. Over time, she loses capacity.

The charging indicators will warn that the charge is complete when the charger has the green light. Apart from the recharging, these batteries They do not need any other maintenance. To prolong battery life, do not store the bike in areas where the temperature may drop by below 0o or overfly 50 °C. That is, park the eBike in the shade or in a cool place.

It is advisable to prevent the battery from emptying completely. That is, charge the battery when it has 30% left.

Storage

To store the battery it is advisable to store it around 60% of its capacity. Try not to store the fully discharged or fully charged battery for long periods of time. Due to the rate of natural self-discharge in the Ion-Lithium cells, you should check the charge level every 2 months or so and, if necessary, apply a 30-minute charge.

Very important, remember:

• Store at 60% charge. - Store it in a cool, dry place between 10o and 20o - Charge it at least every two months. Failure to follow these steps could void the warranty.

Partial load and load cycle

One charge cycle is to spend the Wh capacity of the total battery, regardless of whether they have been done in one go or with intermediate recharges. Every time you start charging the battery is not a recharge cycle.

Don’t wait for the battery to be completely discharged to charge it again. It is advised to keep in mind that the more frequently you recharge your battery the better performance you will get from it.

Avoid

• Deep downloads with intense use.

• Regular full battery emptying.

• Storage above 30o room temperature.

• Parking the eBike in full sun.

How many kilometres can I travel with an eBike?

It is a question that we hear every day in our offices and that the user of a electric bicycle It takes into account, but that requires a somewhat more complex response than a simple figure.

The calculation of the autonomy of any vehicle, also of electric bicycles, responds to a very simple formula and that is given by the amount of energy we have, the speed at which we travel and the energy consumption of the vehicle.

What autonomy can I expect from an eBike?

Let’s take an example with one of our eBikes.

Suppose we have acquired a Legend Monza with a 36V 10.4Ah battery.

Well, the amount of energy we have is 36V x 10.4Ah \= 374.4Wh. If we set a consumption of 5 Wh per kilometer to maintain a speed of 25Km/h the equation is simple.

Autonomy \= Capacity/Consumption

Autonomy \= 374,4/5 \= 74.9Km.

However, adapting the model to reality requires taking into account many factors. The difficulty is that the consumption of the eBike cannot be accurately foreseen.

In the specifications of a battery a figure is usually used within an approximate threshold; one of the reasons why it is not a round figure is very simple, and is that we will never pedal on a fully leveled ground.

When we say that a full charge allows us to make 70 or 80 km we mean that that distance will be correct if we move on a surface without slopes, something really complicated in any geographical environment, so, if we pedal climbing a slope of 10o constantly, our battery probably travels a much smaller distance with a full charge.

Similarly, if we go down a slope while still pedalling, our battery will last much longer than specified.

The level of attendance It is another decisive factor. Normally, there are usually five levels of lower to higher level of pedalling assistance, so if we move at a low-middle level, we can extend the battery charge to really long distances. The maximum level generates maximum power and this obviously produces an extra expense of the battery charge. In the same way, it also influences what we like to call “level of assistance from the cyclist to the bike”, that is, when talking about an assisted pedalling bike, there are two driving sources: the electric motor and the human motor. These two forces work independently in a system with a cadence sensor, so we can say that the less effort the cyclist makes when pedalling, the lower the autonomy.

Another factor to consider is the weight that the motor will move. Again, the estimates are based on standards considered “usual”, which are the weight of the eBike plus the weight of the cyclist. These values are in weights of 20 kilograms for the electric bicycle and 70/80 kilograms for the individual.

In addition, if the routes we travel with the bike have many stops, such as, for example, traffic lights, the autonomy will be resentful because there is a very high consumption during the acceleration from stop to a maximum speed of 25km / h.

That is why, when we acquire a battery for electric bicycles, we can not know exactly the kilometres per charge that it will travel, but we can estimate a figure taking into account all the aforementioned.

R200 type approval \- DIN/TS 31064

You can find more information about the R200 approval standard at the following link: R200 type approval: What is it?

Determining the battery life of an eBike in kilometres can be complex due to the multitude of factors that influence its performance. Among these factors are the weight of the driver, the type of rolling surface, the pressure of the tyres, the presence of wind, frequent starts and stops and the level of slope, to name a few.

However, despite these multiple factors, it is possible to roughly estimate the duration of a full battery charge in hours using mathematical methods, taking into account the battery level used.

The theoretical autonomies are presented below (in hours) for different battery capabilities (374Wh, 468Wh and 504Wh), depending on the level of assistance used

Monza, Milano, Etna 250W: 374 Wh \- 504 Wh

Siena: 468 Wh

Etna 500W: 504 Wh

These tables offer an approximate guide to understand how the battery life varies according to its capacity and the level of assistance, thus facilitating the planning of routes and the management of the electric bicycle load.
