Tips to help electric bikes save energy

(Baonghean.vn)- To use an electric bike properly, you must have a firm grasp of the basic parameters, operating methods and correct vehicle usage.

In actual use, each charge of an electric bike can run about 30-40 km, the highest is 60 km for one charge. To achieve this, users need to pay attention to the following:

Start the car

For electric vehicles, just start and turn the throttle and the vehicle will start rolling. However, starting is when the battery consumes the most. Therefore, to ensure battery life as well as save electricity, users should pedal a few times to gain momentum before increasing the throttle.

Always watch the power display panel

Just like the fuel gauge on a motorbike, an electric vehicle also has a display board that shows the remaining battery power to drive. This part is very important to let you know when the vehicle is running out of power and needs to be recharged.

Monitoring this amount of electricity not only helps the driver calculate the amount of electricity for the distance traveled, but also helps to be more proactive in charging.

In addition, a seemingly harmless factor that many people mistakenly believe is moving the vehicle many times when the remaining battery is very low... when moving like that, the battery or accumulator will be damaged, and its ability to store electricity will be reduced.

Note the electric motorbike energy display board.

Use synchronous charging with battery

Choosing the right charger and battery to use has a big impact on the battery's lifespan, so you must choose the right type and meet the specifications for each type.

Choosing the wrong one will reduce battery capacity, cause battery swelling or even explosion during charging.

For synchronous chargers, when testing parameters that do not meet or are outside the parameters on the table, problems also occur as if the wrong charger is selected.

Charge at the right time and in the right way

Do not charge the battery immediately after returning home even if the vehicle still has a lot of power. This reduces the vehicle's battery's ability to store electricity.

Depending on the type of vehicle, the charging time is different, it can be from 8 - 10 hours, or longer than 10 - 12 hours; you should unplug the charger as soon as the battery or accumulator is full to make the product last longer.

One thing to note is that each electric vehicle has its own charger. Although in design, some vehicles can use each other's chargers, but it is not recommended because using the wrong charger will also affect the battery or battery and run out of power very quickly.

When the charger is broken, you should buy a genuine car charger to ensure safety during use.

Don't go too fast, don't speed up

The speed of electric bikes cannot be as high as that of motorbikes; normally electric bikes are only recommended to go at 25 km/h, while electric motorbikes can only go at a maximum speed of 45 km/h. You should follow this and should not adjust the speed at the store to make the bike go faster.

This will cause the battery to work more and run out quickly. If used frequently, the battery will quickly wear out and break down. At that time, the car will go less and you will have to buy a new battery to replace it.

When the electric vehicle is in low voltage protection state, it must be charged before continuing to use, otherwise it will lead to over-discharge of the battery, affecting the performance and life of the battery.

Do not brake suddenly

Sudden braking is extremely energy-consuming for the car. According to a study, frequent sudden braking can consume 40% of electrical energy. Not to mention sudden braking and sudden acceleration also consumes electricity quickly.

If you drive like this often, the battery life of your car will decrease rapidly and you will have to replace it with a new one soon.

Regular periodic maintenance

The best way to use an electric vehicle is to have it serviced once a quarter. Service keeps everything running smoothly and does not affect the vehicle's performance.

Electric vehicles using batteries are more prone to failure; the battery pack usually consists of 4 small batteries connected together, if 1 of the 4 batteries is damaged, it will greatly affect the remaining batteries, causing them to fail quickly. If you suspect that the battery is damaged (can travel a shorter distance than before), you should have it checked and replaced, avoid having to replace the whole set which will be very expensive.
