  • What is the battery range? What if I run out?
    Battery range depends on a number of factors such as how much effort you put in, the terrain, your weight, how much pedal assist you use and the weather. The average range is 25 miles per full charge. You can keep an eye on the usage display, and if you do run out you can still pedal home normally.

    Yes you do need to pedal. Our e-bikes are pedal assisted and super simple to ride and operate and the motor only kicks in when you pedal. There is no throttle.

Don't worry, we will give you a full briefing, and plenty of time to practice before you leave on your adventure.
