Maximizing Riding Range & Speed
4.7
THE HARDER THE MOTOR NEEDS TO WORK, THE FASTER YOUR BATTERY WILL DRAIN. IN IDEAL CONDITIONS, THE MAXIMUM
MILEAGE THAT CAN BE ACHIEVED FROM A FULLY CHARGED BATTERY IS 20 MILES (32KM) USING ONLY MOTOR POWER, AND THE
MAXIMUM SPEED IS 20 MPH (32KM/H).
BEYOND RIDING MODE, THE FOLLOWING FACTORS WILL ALSO AFFECT MOTOR EXERTION AND THUS HOW FAR YOU CAN
GO FROM A SINGLE CHARGE. THEY INCLUDE:
RIDING SURFACE – TRAVELING OVER A ROUGH SURFACE REQUIRES MOTOR POWER THAN RIDING ON A SMOOTH ONE.
•
CARRYING WEIGHT – MAXIMUM RANGE AND SPEED CAN BE ACHIEVED WITH CARRYING WEIGHT OF 220 LB OR LESS.
•
SPEED AND RIDING STYLE – FREQUENT STARTING AND STOPPING WILL REDUCE RIDING RANGE. USING YOUR OWN EFFORT
•
TO PEDAL WILL EASE THE DEMAND ON THE MOTOR AND INCREASE YOUR RIDING RANGE.
AIR TEMPERATURE – THE IDEAL TEMPERATURE FOR RIDING AND STORING THE ATLAS IS BETWEEN 50 - 90°F (10 - 35°C).
•
INCLINE – THE MOTOR HAS TO WORK HARDER ON UPHILLS THAN ON FLAT STRETCHES OR DOWNHILLS.
•
BATTERY MAINTENANCE – TIMELY BATTERY CHARGING AFTER EVERY RIDE HELPS MAINTAIN BATTERY CAPACITY AND
•
STRENGTH.
