Question 3

How far can I go on a full ebike battery?

Accepted Answer

A fully-charged standard battery can easily do 50km on average, given a medium level of assistance and some pedalling. If the rider didn’t pedal at all and used only the throttle, then the battery would last 25 to 30km. That range is more than enough for most work-related trips but if people need to go even further, then we can upgrade to batteries that can do 80km or 120km.

Question 4

Do batteries have a “memory effect” and lose capacity if they are charged when they are not completely empty?

Accepted Answer

There is no memory effect. Modern batteries use the same kind of technology as your mobile phone batteries so they can be charged at any point.

Question 5

Do you provide advice on how to get around Auckland or an e-bike or maps?

Accepted Answer

Yes, we do. Auckland Transport provides provide maps of almost every cycleway in Auckland and we have them in stock. You can get them for free from the Auckland Transport website. But we also know that sometimes those maps are not enough for your organisation needs. People might need to go to places with no cycleways or cycling infrastructure. If that’s the case, we are happy to “design” routes for your staff, get them printed or uploaded to an app so people can navigate using them. We ride our bikes every day and everywhere around Auckland so we know the best, safest, and nicest ways to get to places avoiding busy and fast roads. Riding through suburbs, parks, etc can be as nice and safe as riding on protected cycleways since there tends to be little traffic and it usually goes at low speeds. Most people in Auckland are used to driving every day and use main direct roads and highways which means than when they transition to an e-bike, they tend to pick the same routes. This is exactly is the opposite of what they should do. Riding a bike with electric assistance means that people don’t need to pick the most direct or flattest route but they can have the luxury of picking the most pleasant one even if it is less direct, hillier or windier.
