Although electric cargo bicycles are valuable assets for daily transportation, there are some key things to remember when using electric bicycles. Let’s see!

Cycling becomes more convenient

Whether you plan to take it as a sport, as a means of transportation, or just hang out, you don’t need to be healthy to enjoy it! Powerful assistance will help you save energy during cycling. Your attention can be fully focused on safe driving.

This feature makes it an excellent choice for beginners, parents and even the elderly!

Say goodbye to your car and public transport

Because cycling is more convenient for the public, it also means that it can easily replace the comfort of cars. There are a lot of bicycles to choose from, which can really adapt to your specific needs, lifestyle and budget. In addition, sports assistance will ensure that you won’t sweat even if you go uphill. In order to improve riding in different weather conditions, you can also find many accessories to ensure maximum comfort even in extreme weather.

If you plan to buy an electric bicycle for daily use, we strongly recommend that you consider it as an investment. Although the cost may be scary at first, you will soon realize that you can save a lot of money. You don’t have to pay for fuel, expensive maintenance and/or monthly subway subscriptions… This is a long-term, cost-effective solution, and it’s environmentally friendly!

Fortunately, due to pedal assistance, this is not obvious when cycling. However, few people need to ride without batteries. To solve this potential problem, we recommend that you purchase two batteries so that you do not have to worry about running out of power

How long will the electric cargo bike be fully charged in winter?

The power source of the electric cargo bike is the battery, so if you want to know how long the electric bike can be fully charged, you need to know how large the battery is carried by the electric vehicle. According to the characteristics of electric vehicles on the market, 48V12AH lead-acid batteries will be selected for general electric bicycles, 60V20AH lead-acid batteries will be selected for electric light motorcycles, and 72V32AH lead-acid batteries will be selected for electric motorcycles.

The calculation of battery charging time is also very simple. You can use the formula battery capacity/charging current. For example, the charging current of 48V12AH battery is about 1.8A, and the charging time is about 7 hours (12 ÷ 1.8). The same formula can also be used to calculate the remaining batteries. The charging time of 60V20AH battery is about 8 hours (20 ÷ 2.5), and that of 72V32AH battery is about 8 hours (32 ÷ 4).

It can be seen from the above calculation that under normal circumstances, it takes 7~8 hours for the electric cargo bike to fully charge, but it is now winter. The low temperature will reduce the battery’s activity, and the charging speed will also slow down, which will be 1~2 hours more than usual.

How to extend the endurance of electric cargo bikes in winter?

In winter, the endurance of electric bikes will decline. Some cargo bike owners may suspect that there is a problem with the battery, but this is not the case. No matter lead-acid battery or lithium battery, its activity will decline at low temperature, so the battery capacity will decline significantly, and the battery capacity will be reduced by 30% – 50% after zero. So, is there any way to extend the endurance of electric vehicles?

There is no fundamental solution to the impact of low temperature on the battery, because this is the characteristics of the battery, and it will naturally recover after the temperature rises. However, when charging the electric vehicle, the owners can choose a place that is not ventilated, such as the garage, to try not to let the charging environment temperature be too low, so that the battery can charge more.

Finally, we should remind you that it is better not to charge electric cargo bikes indoors in a confined space. If there is an accident in the room, the damage will be huge. Therefore, even if the battery life is low, you should charge it outdoors.
