Ergonomic Design and Aesthetics
The Bottle Battery mounted on the down-tube water bottle mounts is an optimal solution for anyone who dislikes a bulky battery framework clamped onto the frame or rear rack. The outer shell is made of sturdy ABS plastic, offering great impact resistance, and includes a mechanical lock to secure the battery to the bike frame, preventing theft in public spaces.
Real-World Capacity and Battery Cell Performance
Utilizing quality battery cells (typically high-grade domestic Chinese cells or optional Samsung/LG cells), the 36V 13Ah (approx. 468Wh) battery delivers impressive real-world metrics:
- Real-World Range: Achieves about 45–55 km when combining medium pedal-assist levels (PAS), and about 30–35 km if running purely on throttle without pedaling.
- Charging Time: Paired with a smart 2A or 3A charger, a full charge from 0% to 100% takes about 5 to 6.5 hours. The auto-shutoff feature upon full charge helps prolong cell lifespan.
