SL Range

Here are five key things that will improve the range and performance of your Turbo bike:

1. Shifting: For smoother shifting and improved drivetrain longevity, remember to reduce your pedaling force as you shift. Avoid shifting under heavy loads, such as when accelerating or climbing. Only shift one gear at a time. 
2. Assist Mode Selection: You will have increased range by primarily using the modes Eco (1) and Sport/Trail (2). When you need maximum power and aren't as concerned with range, Turbo mode is a great option.
3. Maintain a Smooth Cadence: The motor is designed to best support you in a higher cadence spectrum (~75 rpm and above). Pedaling in a smooth cadence is beneficial for optimal range and motor support. 
4. Optimize Battery Performance: The Mission Control app allows you to set motor support based on ride length (time or distance) or projected elevation to ensure you have enough power for your ride. If you are using a Range Extender, we recommend using the default parallel battery discharge scenario. This way, the motor will perform better throughout your ride and neither battery will fully depleted unless necessary. Discharging the Range Extender first only makes sense if you want to remove it at some point to have a lighter bike or if you want to make room for a water bottle.
5. State of Charge & Output: Between 20% and 15% remaining battery state of charge (SOC), the system starts reducing motor support to ensure uninterrupted support at lower charge/voltage levels. Between 5% and 3% remaining SOC, motor support shuts off but the system stays on. This is not only beneficial for battery health and lifetime, but also ensures wired lights can be powered for about two more hours.

This matrix is a rough orientation towards ride time, based on 25 kph speed setting and a rider of around 80 kg, riding in flat/hilly terrain. Be aware that there are many variables that can affect range.
