Understood. I am trying to get a hold on my riding style. Often observed that whenever I go more than 14-15 Kms efficiency is pretty good. Will try to accelerate just enough and see if there is any improvement.
Thank you
yes, did try to use inertia for some time. But, when someone tries to overtake and honk at me, I just zoom for some time to show that this scooter can also go fast and again try to adjust my riding. I think, I first need to unlearn and let people overtake and not care
I reserve my aggressive accelerations for just this. People look at it and go “current current gaadi” and to remove the bad notion of EVs that they have I do overtake them. It won’t really affect your riding so much. Also check your tire pressure regularly. And coast to a stop at a signal. (after Regening down to 20kmph if you wish to)
When j ride pillion on ICE scooters I realise how much my riding has changed.
Haha, yaa the current gaadi thing.
Yes, keeping the tyre pressure in check. Going to a station hasn’t been reduced. I am going to a gas station more often than before. In a week pressure reduces at least 8psi rear and 5psi front. Also tried to raise a request, but they turned it down saying it might be a puncture which I am sure isn’t the case. Will also get it checked once.
Thanks for the tips Suraj. Will surely update my observations
I haven’t tried long continuous ride to find out milage. Based on the dashboard nos. on sport mode i consume 20% for 13.6kms during morning office traffic and same in the evening. To sum up, it’s daily avg 40% consumption for 27kms. Next day without charging, i am not sure to complete the above cycle though.
Started a day with 95% SoC. Reached office which is 13.6km consuming 20%. Evening while returning home, the SoC was 74%. After reaching home (ride distance almost same) SoC shown was 57%.
Didn’t put the vehicle for charging. Next day morning, it SoC was 54%.
After riding less than 2kms, SoC was dropped to 50%.
Reached office covering the distance of 13.6km. SoC was 31%.: consumptionmore than 20%.
Evening while returning, SoC was 26%.
Reached home covering 13.6km. SoC was 12%.: Consumption more than 20% even with careful driving.
thats the exact reason Ather tells us to charge daily … battery has its own idle drain, we can not assume it will behave consistently for entire 0-100% SOC
anyway you have learnt a lesson now
I have done more than 7.5k kms. Earlier, i could manage this travel cycle charging every three days once. Now it seems this has dropped drastically. At the end of the first day, i used to see SoC 10% more than the recent one. Similarly, at the end of second day.
As per my knowledge on Li cells, they don’t like too much charging or discharge. What they like is the zone between 80% and 30%. If they get to live at 45% constantly, they just love it.
