Clever use of power-assisted mode

When riding an e-bike, lack of range is often the biggest headache. After all, no one wants to be embarrassed by running out of power on a joyful ride. Today, let's discuss in detail how to significantly increase the range of e-bikes, so that every trip is smooth and trouble-free.

For example, the Bodywel M275 mountain e-bike is quite good in terms of battery life. This bike is equipped with a 36V15.6Ah high-capacity battery with a range of up to 100 kilometres, which can meet the needs of most medium- and long-distance rides by charging it once a week. At the same time, it is also equipped with Anaida 55N.m brushless high-speed motor with teeth, strong power, even in the face of complex mountain road conditions, can easily cope with, stable power output also provides a strong guarantee for its range. 

I. Clever use of power-assisted mode

Nowadays, most e-bikes are equipped with a variety of power modes. Take Bodywel M275 as an example, when riding on a flat and open road, the low power mode of one or two gears can make riding easy and comfortable. At this point, the motor output is lower and so is the battery drain. For example, on a flat non-motorised road in the city, keeping a constant speed, the low-boost mode can fully meet the demand. However, when you encounter a climbing road or need to overtake the vehicle in front of you quickly, it is necessary to increase the power level at the right time. If you rely on the high power mode for the whole ride, it may be easy and comfortable to ride, but the battery power will be drained quickly. Therefore, switching the power mode flexibly according to different road conditions and riding needs is the key to extending the range. 

II.Maintain stable riding speed

During riding, try to maintain a stable speed and avoid frequent acceleration and deceleration. Frequent speed changes will make the motor repeatedly adjust the output power, which will undoubtedly increase the burden on the battery. This is like driving a car, driving smoothly is more fuel-efficient than braking and accelerating sharply. In actual riding, you can find a suitable speed range, such as about 15 - 20 kilometres per hour, according to vehicle performance and road conditions. Once this speed is set, try to keep moving steadily. With a powerful vehicle like the Bodywel M275, a steady speed will allow the battery to be utilised more efficiently, thus taking advantage of its range. 

III.Regular inspection and maintenance

A well-maintained e-bike usually has a better range. Regularly check the tyre pressure to ensure it is in the normal range. Insufficient tyre pressure will significantly increase the friction between the tyre and the ground, which in turn will increase riding resistance and lead to faster power consumption. Meanwhile, the brake system should not be overlooked to ensure that the brakes are not holding or rubbing excessively, as this will likewise increase riding resistance. In addition, regular lubrication of the chain will ensure smooth operation of the drive system and reduce energy loss. For the Bodywel M275 mountain e-bike, good vehicle maintenance will keep its high-performance motor and battery in top condition, which will naturally guarantee a longer range. 

IV. Reduce the load weight of the vehicle

Try to reduce unnecessary items on the car. The extra weight will make the motor have to output more energy to drive the vehicle, and the range will naturally be shortened. Before each ride, carefully check the boot and the car basket, and clean up those sundries that can't be used for the time being. If you're only travelling a short distance, there's no need to carry too many tools and spares. Keeping your e-bike light will naturally increase its range. Even on a powerful model like the Bodywel M275, lightening the load will reduce the battery's energy consumption to a certain extent, making the range last longer.

V. pay attention to battery maintenance and use

Battery is the core element of e-bike range. Avoid over-discharging the battery and try to recharge it when it is 20% - 30% of its capacity is left. Over-discharge will cause serious damage to the life and performance of the battery, and over time, the battery's range is bound to decline. When charging, be sure to use the original charger and strictly follow the correct charging method to prevent overcharging. In addition, the working environment temperature of the battery is also crucial, should try to avoid using and charging in high or low temperature environment. High temperatures accelerate battery aging, while low temperatures greatly reduce battery performance, both of which result in shorter range, as does the 36V15.6Ah battery in the Bodywel M275.

VI. Reasonable planning of riding routes

Before setting off, plan your riding route in advance.Try to choose flat roads with fewer traffic lights to avoid frequent climbing and riding in congested roads.When climbing, the motor needs to output more power, and the power consumption will be obviously accelerated; and in the congested road, frequent start-stop operation will also increase the power loss. With the help of cell phone map software, check the real-time road conditions in advance and choose the most suitable route, which not only saves travel time, but also maximizes the e-bike's range.For the Bodywel M275, which has a long range, proper route planning allows you to make the most of its 100km range and explore further.
 
By practicing these methods, you can significantly increase the range of your e-bike. Take care of your bike and it will be a reliable companion on every trip.
