The range is very difficult to measure, as it depends on many different parameters, such as motor power, the weight of the bike, the cyclist, and luggage.
Elevation changes also play a significant role.
According to our tests, we have found that with the 500w kit and an average towed weight of 110kg (bike, cyclist, luggage included), we get about 50 to 60 km on a course including 1000m of positive and negative elevation change.
In Switzerland, the law allows you to ride a converted bicycle without registration (yellow moped plate) up to 500w of motor power and 25km/h of assistance (this does not concern the authorized limitation at which you can ride; you must respect traffic laws in all cases).
If you exceed the assistance limit of 25km/h or 500w of motor power, you can only use your bicycle on private property.
If you wish to ride on public roads with a motor exceeding 500w or 25km/h, you must have your bicycle inspected by the vehicle licensing office in your canton of residence. Before making such a purchase, please inquire with the vehicle licensing office in your canton of residence.
Here you will find a list of accepted regulations concerning electric bicycles.

- The motor does not require any special maintenance, there is no need to open it for maintenance unless expressly requested to do so by our technical service. Any opening of the motor without our consent will immediately void the warranty.
- The battery should be charged regularly, especially when the bike is not used for an extended period (for example, in winter), at least once a month, charge the battery for a minimum of 2 to 3 hours.
If the battery is left without charge for an extended period, the battery may be damaged, the warranty will also be lost if, after inspection, it is found that it is due to a slow and prolonged discharge.
Here are the elements that can help you identify the failure:
1. Is my battery charged?
2. Are all the connectors properly connected?
If, despite these checks, they do not turn on, please contact us so that we can help you as soon as possible.
