“Battery stinginess” describes the behavior of using the battery capacity of an e-bike as economically as possible and saving battery energy while on the move. This is a frequently discussed topic, especially for e-bike riders who travel longer distances, in order to maximize the range without having to recharge in between. Cost awareness for new batteries or concern about a longer battery life also play a role. Battery stinginess is also associated with range anxiety .
E-bike batteries have a limited number of charging cycles, and intensive use leads to a loss of capacity more quickly. Through targeted battery management, i.e. "battery stinginess", you can protect the battery and thus benefit from its full performance for longer.
Choosing the support level: Depending on the e-bike model, different support levels can often be selected. If you mostly ride with the lower level of support, you will save a lot of battery. The higher level can be switched on when going uphill or against strong winds.
Efficient driving: Anticipating driving helps to save energy. Frequent starts and abrupt braking use up more battery power than a constant speed.
Tire pressure and weight: Optimum tire pressure and a lower overall weight improve the range. The less resistance, the lower the energy consumption.
Pay attention to the route: Flat routes without major inclines put less strain on the battery. The surface also has an influence: less energy is needed on smooth paths than on sandy or rocky paths.
Pay attention to temperature: Extreme temperatures affect battery performance. In hot or cold conditions, the e-bike should be ridden as gently as possible to reduce energy consumption.
“Battery conservation” is not only a clever driving strategy, but also a way to extend the life and efficiency of the battery.
Through conscious use and the right settings, e-bike riders can enjoy their e-bike for longer and at the same time maximize the range.
Wenn in München die Wiesn-Zeit beginnt, heißt es wieder „O’zapft is!“. Millionen Besucher strömen jedes Jahr zum Oktoberfest, um bayerische Tradition, Tracht, Bier und Gaudi zu genießen. Doch während Festzeltstimmung und Fahrgeschäfte locken, stellt sich schnell die Frage: Wie kommt man am besten hin und wieder sicher nach Hause? Eine clevere Antwort darauf ist: mit dem Fahrrad!
Radfahren ist weit mehr als nur Sport oder Fortbewegung – es ist auch ein soziales Erlebnis. Immer mehr Radbegeisterte schließen sich sogenannten Social Rides an. Dabei geht es nicht um Bestzeiten oder knallhartes Training, sondern um Gemeinschaft, Spaß und geteilte Leidenschaft fürs Rad.
Sarcopenia – this medical term refers to a very real problem: the age-related loss of muscle mass and strength. Starting around the age of 50, the body loses up to 1–2% of its muscle mass annually. The consequences: weakness, unsteadiness when walking, and the risk of falls. But this doesn't have to be the case. Exercise is the best remedy for muscle atrophy – and this is precisely where the e-bike comes in. It enables regular, joint-friendly muscle training even in old age – without overexertion.
