More kilometers, more freedom
Range is one of the decisive factors when it comes to enjoying your e-bike. After all, it determines how long you can be on the road without worrying about the next power outlet. With a few simple tricks, you can get significantly more out of every battery – without sacrificing riding fun.
Riding style makes the difference
Your personal riding style has a direct impact on your e-bike’s range. Those who ride consistently, accelerate gently, and don’t go full throttle on every small incline save energy. Also, using low support levels in everyday life helps your battery last longer. Small adjustments in your riding style can have a big effect.
The right tire pressure
Often underestimated but crucial: tire pressure. Too soft tires increase rolling resistance, which puts more strain on the motor and thus drains the battery faster. Make sure your tires are always optimally inflated – this not only improves range but also driving safety.
Reduce weight, increase range
Every extra kilo needs to be moved – this also applies to e-bikes. Leaving out unnecessary luggage relieves the motor and battery. Accessories should also be chosen consciously: practical bags or baskets make sense, but anything not absolutely needed costs energy.
Care and temperature
Batteries don’t like it too hot or too cold. Extreme temperatures noticeably affect the range. If possible, store your e-bike and battery in moderate conditions and only charge it after longer rides when it has cooled down again. Good care not only extends the lifespan but also ensures you can benefit from full power.
Choose support level consciously
Of course, it's fun to cruise through the city with full motor power. But if you want to maximize range, you should cleverly adjust the support level. On flat terrain, light assistance is often enough, while you can add a bit more power on hills. This keeps your battery evenly loaded and lasts longer.
Conclusion: Small measures, big impact
The range of your e-bike is not a fixed value but depends heavily on how you handle your bike. With the right riding style, good tire pressure, and mindful use of your battery, you get the maximum out of it. This way, you can extend your tours, be more spontaneous on the go, and fully enjoy your Widewheelz fat bike – without constantly thinking about the battery level.
