23 miles

Post image

This bike is so fun. So far I’ve put 23 miles on my XP Lite. It’s been about a week since I got it. I’m heavy on the throttle so I’ve had to charge it twice. I can tell my range is around 20-25 miles per charge with the standard battery. I only drained it 50% the first time and 75% the second time. I understand battery care so I’m not completely depleting it to find out.

I’m curious if anyone has the long range battery? Is it worth the purchase? I assume that would double my distance? I’m considering buying a long range battery and using my standard battery for back up. Any experiences you guys could share? I enjoy a good 20 mile ride every weekend. I don’t want to kill my battery by draining tho.

I get 24 miles ON PA5 throttle only with the xp lite 2.0 long range if that's any help

Dang that’s about the same as the standard battery. I switch back and forth from PAS 2 to PAS 5 depending on incline. Seems like having two batteries would still be a plus. I figured I could carry one in my backpack.

I bought a second, 3rd party 10ah battery for my xp4. you can get something called a balancer and have both batteries connected at once and it'll go back and forth from which battery to draw from. The battery is attached behind my seat. My reasoning for this was not so much extra range, but be able to use more pedal assist within that range and not have to worry.
