It is cold in winter, the electric cargo bike need specially manage when in winter. The electric tricycle also needs the care of users. These skills about using electric tricycles can make electric tricycles run farther.
1. The electric cargo bike should be charged frequently in winter. Do not recharge it after the electricity is used up, it will damage the battery. The temperature drops will have a direct impact on the battery. When in summer,you can charge one time every two days. Now in cold winter it may not be enough, so you need to charge one time everyday.
2. The electric tricycle can’t run far in cold winter. The battery may seems no problem, when the temperature rises in warm days. The most good working temperature for electric cargo bike is around 25 ℃, which is also the reason why most people feel that electric tricycles run far in summer. But now the temperature has dropped a lot, and the battery capacity will also drop significantly. When the temperature is 0 ℃, the battery capacity is only about 70% of the normal value. When the temperature below zero drops by 1 ℃, the capacity will drop by about 1%. The lower the temperature is, the lower the battery capacity will be. The lower the battery capacity is, the shorter the driving distance of the electric tricycle will be. This is a normal phenomenon, not a battery failure. After the temperature rises in spring, the driving distance of the electric tricycle will gradually return to the normal state.
3. The electric power of cargo bike in the cold weather electric tricycle shall should not be less than 30%, and it shall be charged in time. When using an electric tricycle in cold weather, the battery capacity should not be less than 25%. If it is less than 25%, it will damage the battery and affect its service life.
4. The electric tricycle shall be charged once a month when it is not in use to avoid battery curing. Some people will put the electric tricycle up because of the cold temperature. After the temperature rises, they can ride the electric tricycle. Before placing the electric tricycle, they should fully charge the electric tricycle, let the electric tricycle be placed with electricity, and charge the electric tricycle once a month to avoid battery damage due to vulcanization.
5. The driving range of the battery has dropped too obviously, so you need to go to an electric tricycle shop or a maintenance shop for inspection. When the temperature drops, the driving mileage of some electric tricycles drops too obviously. For example, if the driving mileage is less than 10km after a full charge, the battery has been used for more than two years. You can go to a regular electric tricycle shop or repair shop to check. Your battery may need to be replaced
What should I pay attention to when buying an electric tricycle in winter?
1. Electric tricycle without hood
Due to the relatively low temperature in winter, if you choose an ordinary headless model, the driving experience is relatively poor. Therefore, try to avoid choosing this kind of headless electric tricycle, and try to choose a semi covered or fully enclosed electric tricycle.
2. Low capacity electric tricycle
In winter, due to the relatively low temperature, the battery activity is relatively poor, which will lead to a rapid decline in battery performance. For example, the endurance in summer is about 80km, while in winter it may only reach 50-70km. Therefore, in order to ensure that electric tricycles can also have excellent endurance in winter, try to choose electric tricycles equipped with high-capacity batteries, which will be less affected by the season.
