Range
The Kenevo offers up to 5 hours of range with the Expert model, which features the largest 700Wh battery. There are many variables which affect the range:
- Battery capacity: the Expert models features a 700Wh battery while the Comp model is equipped with a 500Wh battery.
- Support and Peak Power settings
- Terrain (elevation, surface)
- Rider/system weight
- Speed
- Rider input (power)
- Ambient temperature
- Rider height
- Amount of starts/stops
- Sitting position (aerodynamics)
- Wind conditions
- Ride style
- Tire setup (type and pressure)
- Apparel (aerodynamics)
- On-bike accessories
Strategies for Range Conservation
- Reduce your Peak Power setting
- Set Shuttle to 0 (shuttle provides more power in a higher cadence)
- Lower Acceleration Response
- Shift sooner rather than push harder gears
- In cold outside temperatures, especially below 32 F or 0 C, always store battery at room temperature before start of ride
- Partially recharge the battery if possible (one hour of charging replenishes 20-30% battery charge)
Customizing Power and Range Settings
The Mission Control app may be used to tune the bike to your individual needs:
- Infinite Tune: The Mission Control app enables you to customize your bike's Support and Peak Power settings to find your perfect balance of power and range. The preset modes and their corresponding range is as follows:
Mode | Support Power | Peak Power | Range and ride time with 700Wh battery* | Range and ride time with 500Wh battery* |
---|---|---|---|---|
Turbo | 100% | 100% | Up to 4,900 feet/1,500 meters elevation gain and 25 miles/40 km 1.5 - 2.5 hours average ride time | Up to 3,600 feet/1,100 meters elevation gain and 22 miles/35 km 1.0 - 2.0 hours average ride time |
Trail | 35% | 100% | Up to 6,500 feet/2,000 meters elevation gain and 34 miles/55 km 2.5 - 3.5 hours average ride time | Up to 4,900 feet/1,500 meters elevation gain and 28 miles/45 km 2.0 - 3.0 hours average ride time |
Eco | 35% | 35% | Up to 8,200 feet/2,500 meters elevation gain and 43 miles/70 km 3.5 - 5.0 hours average ride time | Up to 6,500 feet/1,500 meters elevation gain and 34 miles/55 km 3.0- 4.5 hours average ride time |

- Smart Control can be activated by linking a Heart Rate Monitor to the bike. Assistance is increased as your heart rate increases.
What is the effect of changing Peak Power?
- Setting Peak Power to less than 100% creates a ceiling on the maximum amount of power the motor can produce
- Increasing the Peak Power % will add assistance at higher amounts of rider power but reduce range
- Lowering the Peak Power % will decrease maximum motor power but improve range
What is the effect of changing Support Power?
- Setting Support Power to less than 100% controls the amount of assistance the motor provides at all levers of rider power
- By reducing the Support Power % but maintaining 100% Peak Power, as in Trail mode above, you will have less motor assist when you aren't working as hard. When you produce more power, such as on a steep hill, the motor will assist you more
