Most people want a precise figure, like an average of 60 km. However, an honest manufacturer would include a few &#8220;ifs&#8221; and &#8220;buts,&#8221; which is perfectly reasonable. There are many factors that can affect the battery&#8217;s range.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Take our flagship bike, the Q&#8217;be 3, for instance. This fatbike has been specifically designed for deliveries and is equipped with a sizeable 1006 Wh battery. While you might anticipate a long range with such a powerful battery, we conservatively estimate it at around 60 km. Why? There are several factors at play:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Weather Conditions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Couriers operate in all weathers. Adverse conditions can cut the battery\u2019s range by as much as 20%. Couriers not only face the toughest weather but also must contend with reduced battery life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Route Conditions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Whether riding on flat roads or navigating hilly areas, the landscape has a significant impact on battery range. To maintain comfort, cyclists often opt for a higher level of assistance, which naturally reduces the battery\u2019s overall<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Payload vs. Range<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Electric delivery bikes present a choice that often leads to a dilemma between payload capacity and range. One (the payload) inevitably affects the other. For instance, couriers making multiple fast-food deliveries typically cover greater distances than those handling heavier grocery deliveries under similar conditions.<br>Choosing a transport vehicle and understanding the necessary battery range requires consideration of various factors. However, cyclists can take steps to enhance battery life and improve overall efficiency:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Tire Pressure<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Keeping tires properly inflated can significantly reduce rolling resistance, leading to better battery performance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Assistance Level<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Our Q\u2019Be offers several levels of assistance. While it may be tempting to ride with a higher assistance level, consider whether it\u2019s truly necessary given the conditions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Bike Maintenance<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A well-maintained bike with a properly lubricated chain offers less resistance and can cover greater distances. Bring your bike in for regular maintenance at one of our service points.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Battery Storage<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>To ensure your battery remains fully functional, charge it overnight in a safe location, ideally at around 20 degrees Celsius. If the bike will not be used for a few weeks, it&#8217;s advisable to store the battery at 60% to 80% of its full charge.<br>If you have any questions about maintenance or your battery, feel free to visit us in Arcueil, Bordeaux, Marseille, or Lyon.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Customers often ask, &#8220;What is the range of your electric bike&#8217;s battery?&#8221; It\u2019s a great question with a potentially straightforward answer.
