This depends on a light frame, low friction, a highly efficient electric motor and also on the energy stored in the battery. 16Ah The energy stored is the fuel for the bike! Useful technical battery info... 10Ah In a battery of specified voltage (V), energy stored is measured in ampere hours (Ah). This measure indicates how many hours a battery can produce a fixed current - amps (A). Therefore, the high voltage 36V 16Ah lithium polymer battery provides an impressive performance when travelling longer distances. Please read carefully your User Manual for guidance on how to maximise the performance and life of your battery. * Pedal assist will help to preserve your battery. 36V 10Ah 4 THE BEST ELECTRIC BIKES BY FAR! 36V 16Ah Frequently Asked Questions If you are new to the world of electric bikes, these questions and answers may be just what you need to try and understand all the benefits.
