7 tips to increase the "lifespan" of electric motorbikes and electric bicycles
(Baonghean.vn) - Hot weather makes motorbikes and electric bicycles move slowly and quickly drain the battery. The reason is that the vehicle's energy source needs to be preserved in a certain environment, especially in the summer. The phenomenon of battery failure, battery or battery quickly damaged, easily short-circuited if the vehicle is often left under the hot sun, not carefully covered, the vehicle is too heavy.
1. Always watch the power display panel
 |
Like the fuel gauge on a motorbike, an electric vehicle also has a battery power display to let you know when the vehicle is running low and needs to be recharged. Depending on the type of vehicle and how far it can travel, you must also know how to estimate the distance so that the vehicle can operate without problems on the road.
In addition, driving a lot with too little energy also causes the battery to quickly wear out. Currently, battery-powered vehicles usually have a travel distance of less than 50 - 80 km when fully charged.
2. Avoid sudden braking and acceleration
 |
Daily riding plays an important role in the durability of the bike. With electric bikes, it is important to pay attention to the main parts that can have problems: the battery, charging system, motor, brake and throttle cables.
When riding an electric bike, avoid sudden braking and then accelerating. This will significantly reduce the battery of the bike, and in the long run, the motor will not last long if it is forced to work hard. If it is an electric bike, you can pedal a few more times to start the journey. Similarly, when going uphill, pedal with power assist or reduce the load to go uphill without affecting the motor.
3. Use the charger in sync with the battery
 |
Choosing the right charger and battery has a great impact on battery life, so you must choose the right type that meets the specifications for each type.
Choosing the wrong one will reduce battery capacity, cause battery swelling or even explosion during charging.
4. Replace tires with the correct specifications for your vehicle.
 |
Few people may pay attention to the tire specifications used by electric vehicles, but to ensure the durability of the tires, you need to replace the tires with the same specifications as the original tires.
When buying an electric vehicle, you will get accurate information and specifications, so pay attention and use genuine tires with standard specifications.
5. Ride with a reasonable load
 |
Each type of electric vehicle has a different load capacity, the small type can carry over 40kg, the heavier type can carry no more than 90kg. Therefore, electric vehicles are mainly for 1 person, maximum 2 people.
Using an electric vehicle with too much load will put pressure on the motor, rim frame and spokes.
6. Charge properly
When charging, place the battery in a dry place or leave the battery in the car and charge directly into the battery, do not tilt the battery when charging.
If you don't ride for a long time, charge the battery every 10 days to maintain battery life.
Do not plug in the charger continuously, unplug the charger when the indicator light turns green.
Avoid removing the battery while charging as it can easily damage the battery. Never charge using power from a generator.
7. Do not leave your car in the hot sun.
 |
When the temperature is high, the battery will automatically discharge energy. The ideal working temperature of the battery is from 20 - 25 degrees, so you should not ride an electric bike outdoors when the temperature is too high, and you should not expose the bike to the sun for a long time.
