Your e-bike’s battery is its lifeline. To extend its lifespan and range, avoid draining it completely—try keeping it between 20% and 80% charge. Store it in a cool, dry place, as extreme heat or cold can hurt performance. If you won’t ride for a while, charge it to 50%.

Smooth acceleration and steady pedaling reduce battery strain. Use lower assist levels on flat terrain, and coast when possible. Many riders find they can significantly extend their range just by avoiding sudden stops and starts.

Underinflated tires create drag, forcing your motor to work harder. Check your tire pressure weekly and use the recommended PSI found on the sidewall. Properly inflated tires can improve your e-bike’s mileage noticeably.

Extra weight requires extra effort from the motor. Pack only essentials and consider lighter accessories. If you carry cargo, distribute it evenly. Every pound you save can add a little more to your overall range.

Higher assist modes drain batteries faster. Use eco mode on flats and save higher power modes for hills. Many riders find mid-level assist ideal for mixed terrain, much like selecting the right gear for the conditions.
