Been lurking for a while but thought I better join now I’ve bought a bike, as no doubt I’ll have lots of questions for you knowledgeable guys, first one is coming at the end of this post as I’m already freaking out a bit. Anyway.. I had an electric bike a couple of years ago which was a converted mountain bike with 1000w rear wheel motor, it was great fun but I couldn’t live with battery etc rattling about in the box on the back, the messy wiring, and the uneven weight distribution, so I didn’t keep it very long. Now that things have moved along a bit I started looking again recently and I decided to go quality and legit (at least until I chip it) this time, I’m not exactly well off so I went for the best I could afford and I’ve just bought a 7 month old Cube Race 500 off a guy on eBay, it’s a great looking bike and I’m really excited about getting out on it for the first time tomorrow.
The thing I’m freaking out about.. I just finished fully charging the battery and when I switched it on the display is quoting very short ranges (I’m assuming these figures are distance in miles?), on eco it’s saying 14, and on turbo it’s saying 4. Please tell me I’m worrying over nothing and these will recalculate when I ride the bike?
