This was on lightning deal other day 849 but can’t see how twice as good mine mine called e, rider can’t find nothing online about it must be a cheap copy lol maybe paint n build better but frame n stem n design same that 7800 mah mine on 5200mah pretty low maybe why was cheap and that got lights n disc brake and diff wheels guess mine just cheap alternative lol computer looks better that too I added specs pic below of stats mine this one see on amazon https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B07HZ1Z827/ref=cm_sw_r_fm_tai_t-meDb1SCQRNH my one was under half this price

It was doing 7, 8miles full throttle at first but seam be 5 at most now alough could be using hills more last few times alough that counters by going down hill. I only done 170 miles it. May been storageages and I hardly used it 5 months until unlocked full throttle.

I have left on 3 times by error once 21hrs once 11 and few times 6 hrs and hope not damaged it, also I have gone through very wet conditions few time road too and a muddy field but says it water proof.

Just curious if think about right Range i weigh 77kg bike is 14kg or 15 locks on etc and 5200 mah battery mostly on flat and few steep hills maybe the hill use up more it thought it did used run to 0: Barr’s but last few times it cut off on 1 bar out 4 Barr’s. guess get what pay for as was cheap but 5 miles not to useful alough not been central London few weeks so might do 7,8 again as all flat mostly from coach station. I always used max throttle as well, it does 15,16 flat but 4,6mph some hills steep so guess draining it maybe

. I expected it last lot longer than this alough in hindsight 5200mah 5.2 ah not great when has no assistance from me, just got feeling the range already now worse unless not light the damp conditions, guess my battery cheaper one as 7800 much better I should thought about it at time, thanks I guess 5 miles still same some folding mobility scooters but as not on battery all time pretty poor I don’t think battery right myself. I already had call taxi once as can’t walk that far. Not sure why can’t fit big battery even xiomi m365 scooter has 18000 mah I think and they cheap.

This sounds about right to me. It's a pedal-assist bike and I think you really need to be pedaling in order to obtain a more useful mileage range.

Just pretty sure was doing a few more miles few weeks ago but guess need try other terrain again flatter run I was going be going central London some point soon so may get few more miles see if goes further, least lots places stop pubs and charge up only takes 3 hr full or 1.5 half charge.

I would assist but I use it like mobility scooter as cant really assist. I just think it cutting out to soon when used go to 0 bars but could be as been on a hill as to why goes off and Runs out on one bar last two times, thanks.

It is pedal assist five levels but does have throttle was Built in. I think I should got one the 7800 mah think this hilly village live in taking toll as 5mph some gradients must Ben struggling must be 30% some bits here but though5 would thought get 1000 miles out a battery. WAs planning go more places coach And footy away games so getting range anxiety now lol. New bigger battery prob over half cost bike as not best quality of bikes. Not sure how even get them out this.

Going up hills will use much more battery, particularly at 5mph when the motor is very inefficient. Compared with the flat, expect battery usage to be 4 or 5 times higher on such hills. Also, because power draw is higher, it will cut out sooner under load than it would on the flat. What you describe would seem normal.
