Riding Your Pedelec Efficiently - Pedelec Impulse Xion Mode D'emploi Original

• Technical condition of your Pedelec
Make sure the tyre pressure is correct. If you ride
your bike with too little air in the tyres, this can
significantly increase the rolling resistance. This
applies to smooth surfaces in particular, e.g.
tarmac. If the ground is uneven, as on a country
path or gravel track, a somewhat reduced tyre pres-
sure can lead to less rolling resistance. This also
increases the risk of a puncture. Please consult
your specialist cycle shop about this. The distance
you can travel also decreases if the brakes are
rubbing.
• Battery capacity
The current battery capacity (➠ Chapter 7.4.2
"Checking the battery capacity").
• Topography
You pedal harder when riding uphill. This is
detected by the power sensor which then allows
the motor to work harder.
Under ideal conditions, the range may reach
120 km with the 11 Ah battery and 180 km with the
15.5 Ah battery. These ranges have been achieved
under the conditions listed below.

Riding your Pedelec efficiently

You can monitor and influence the cost of your journeys
with the Pedelec yourself. You can reduce your consump-
tion and therefore costs by following the tips for increas-
ing the range.
The operating costs for power assist with an 11 Ah battery
are calculated as follows:
• A new battery costs roughly 599 euros.
• Throughout the total service life of a battery, you
can cover roughly 80 kilometres with one charge
cycle.
• You can charge the battery roughly 1,100 times.
• 1,100 charging cycles x 80 km = 88,000 km
• 599 euros: 88,000 km = 0.68 euro cents per
kilometre.
• You use roughly 0.565 kWh to fully charge the
battery. Assuming a unit price of 23.5 euro cents
per kWh, it costs you 13.27 euro cents to fully
charge the battery.
• To cover the average range of 80 kilometres, it
costs you 67.67 euro cents.
• This means the cost of consumption and the bat-
tery is a maximum of 0.85 euro cents/km.
The sample calculation has been carried out based on
German energy prices. The operating costs may vary
depending on the energy prices you pay.
