ED-3 SP Pedelec with Lithium-ion battery<br />
Operational range<br />
and its factors<br />
The range that can be attained with a fully<br />
charged battery is dependent upon additional<br />
factors such as incline, headwind, condition of<br />
road surface, tyre pressure, use of gears as well<br />
as the pedal assistance and the weight of the<br />
driver.<br />
Typical distance with an average use of pedal<br />
assistance and a fully charged battery ranges<br />
between 30 and 60 km according to the mode<br />
selected.<br />
Opti-Range<br />
To optimise the use of the battery capacity,<br />
the mode will change automatically to the next<br />
lower driving mode. This is based on the battery<br />
voltage and it protects the cells against high<br />
load. The higher mode is available after charging<br />
the battery again. For e-bikes with Opti Range<br />
the display will indicate “Battery Low”. The<br />
remaining capacity is sufficient for approximately<br />
2 hours to bike lights (LED lighting). After<br />
charging the battery, all riding modes are usable<br />
again. When attempted mode change N to S or<br />
E to N at pedelec display the message “Optirange<br />
active”. If the battery is nearly empty the<br />
engine switches off automatically.<br />
It is practically impossible to provide absolute<br />
data regarding the range as various factors<br />
influence the assistance performance. To begin<br />
with, the battery must be optimally charged. This<br />
can be ensured by using the original charger,<br />
through sufficient charging time, the age of the<br />
battery as well as its continuous maintenance.<br />
If all<br />
these factors are favourable, i.e. the operating<br />
temperature is also between 5 and 35 °C and a<br />
full charge has taken place, then 37V x 8.8Ah =<br />
325 Wh of stored energy should be available to<br />
begin driving.<br />
With the battery’s increasing age, the maximum<br />
amount of stored energy can sink by a third and<br />
in so doing the running distance too. On the<br />
whole, lithium-ion batteries can experience up<br />
to 500 full charge cycles, but through aging the<br />
capacity will sink in due course down to 85 - 65<br />
%. Providing good maintenance is taken, then<br />
a life expectancy of approximately 3 – 5 years is<br />
possible. The capacity will decrease slowly but<br />
steadily.<br />
Riding in rough terrain under extreme condition<br />
may further reduce the range of travel. The<br />
rechargeable battery can last through an approx.<br />
90-minute trip under “full load”.<br />
