- If you Bike often with your E-on-the-go, so you can estimate roughly how far you get with a fully charged battery is about to go. However, you should know that a battery in the Winter as long as in the summer.
- This phenomenon has to do with the electrical resistance that increases when it is cold: therefore, a battery to discharge faster. In addition, the range also depends on the driving behavior, the air resistance, the weight of the driver and the tire pressure.
- You ride in the Cold, so shorter routes to get to your destination. Alternatively, you can take a spare battery.

- A battery is too cold, then it can lose capacity. It is therefore advisable to keep him as warm as possible to experience no unwanted Surprises.
- To you longer at low temperatures, it is useful the battery in a thermal-protective case to put. So he survives the cold better and loses no power.
- After the Ride, take your battery to the best with Warm. Store it here at room temperature, and insert it before the next stage of the journey.
E-Bike batteries, store at room temperature
When Charging the battery is the same as for Bearings, the following applies:
- Batteries with Lithium ion, and should not be cells stored in the best case only at room temperature, but will also be loaded. The battery is charged at low temperatures, it can also lead to performance degradation.
- The battery is charged, you can embark on your next journey. However, make sure that the battery is warm enough. Chilled batteries to stay for long.
- Do not warm the battery before use in a heated room, so that he is too cold. After that, you can use it as usual and go.

E-Bike battery in Winter: how to store it properly
Do not leave the battery on the bike when you Park it outside.
- If you do not want to drive in the cold, remember your battery from the bike to take off. If you need to use the E-Bike but spontaneously, make sure that the battery has full power.
- Do not store the battery when you should not ride the Bike for a longer period of time, at temperatures between zero and 20 degrees Celsius. Make sure that the room is dry.
- Ideally, the battery is charged to about 30 to 60 percent, if you have to store it. On a light-emitting diode display corresponding to strokes in about two to three.
The E-store Bike properly
Not only the battery must be properly stored, but the Bike itself also.
- You should decide whether you want to inside your E-Bike or outdoors store. Consider how often you will drive it and the condition of the battery, then it should be.
- You should the bike decide to store it outside, then it should be in front of the snow and protected from the rain. At best a Garage or a basement are. Make sure you keep but the battery separately.
- You should see your E-Bike store inside, then the room should be at least dry. The space also has room temperature, then you can leave the battery on the bike.
