C21 Range after two years
Hi
Even though I've had the C21 for a couple of years, it hasn't had a lot of use. I don't use it daily or anything. It might get used 20 times a year.
Yesterday i was cycling the Royal Canal Greenway from Abbyshrule to Longford in Ireland. It's pretty much totally flat as it would be, running beside a canal. So the following data contains zero hills. Also, for the entire cycle, i stayed on NORMAL mode.
I began with a full charge on the bike's internal battery. It lasted in total 29km before being fully gone. Remember this is totally flat ground in hot conditions ( 28 Celsius with a nice breeze) in normal mode.
I then switched to the fully charged extender battery and continued in the same conditions. It went a little further but was empty after 35kms.
The cycle itself was 75kms so i had to do the last ten with no battery at all and man i felt the weight of that bike!
We all know the stated battery range is on the optimistic side but in flat conditions i would have expected that two full batteries would have gotten me 75kms.
