Most electric bike batteries will fully charge from empty in 3 to 6 hours depending on the battery size.
A Watt-hour is the voltage (V) that the battery provides multiplied by how much current (Amps) the battery can provide for some amount of time (generally in hours). Voltage x Amp hours = Wh
In simple terms, this number can be used to gauge how far your ebike will take you before you need to recharge. All of our MJM ebikes have the largest battery in their class to ensure you can get where you're going.. and back!
While motors come in all different sizes, the largest allowed on an ebike in Canada is 500 watts. That's exactly what we've put on all of our ebikes, to ensure that you have the torque to get up the steepest hills. Anything less would feel inadequate.
Batteries also come in different sizes, and, much like the motors, we've outfitted our bikes with the largest batteries we could find to ensure you have the support to go on day-long rides and make your way home again.
Unfortunatey, no. Or perhaps a better answer is at least not yet.
Generally electric bikes range from 40 to 80 pounds. Though, with its low centre of gravity and motor ushing you forward, it is difficult to tell while riding the ebike.
Yes, the battery is locked to the bike and a key must be used to remove it.
Lithium Ion (Li-Ion) batteries represent the very best in current battery technology. They are long lasting, light weight, and provide more power. The Electric Vehicle Industry as a whole has embraced Li-Ion batteries as the best power source for eco-friendly transportation!
Yes, the batteries used in our e-bikes will need to have a “break-in” cycle consisting of ~ three discharge/charge cycles before they will reach optimum performance. This involves three complete discharges and three complete recharges. After this initial “break-in” cycle the batteries will have maximum possible performance and less line voltage fluctuations under load.
Average battery life depends on use and conditions. Even with proper care, rechargeable batteries do not last forever. Li-Ion batteries will last about 700+ cycles before losing significant capacity. A partial charge/discharge counts fractionally against those numbers; running the battery down halfway then recharging it completely uses up one half of a charge cycle.
The battery is the most sensitive component of the ebike. It can lose capacity at low temperatures, which in turn can limit the bike's range. During winter use with temperatures below zero you are advised to remove the battery, store it at room temperature and replace it on the bike shortly before your next journey. When you return, you should ideally store the battery indoors at temperatures between 15° and 20°C. The same applies to charging the battery: the lithium-ion cells should be charged at room temperature.
