How many charge cycles does it get? How many total miles before a battery replacement is needed?

Factory is promising 200-400 charge cycles. That would make 14000 – 28000km, in theory…

My guess is less than 10000km, but it really counts how you are driving. Best thing is not to go below 40% charge level. That means about 40km range with one person, which is really enough for me.

Now I have about 3000km and I haven’t noticed any change on the range.

There are normal lightbulbs in front, rear and sidelights. The front light takes about 3A of current. If you change them to leds (taking about few hundred mA’s) you’ll get more per charge.. Just make sure it’s legal in your country.
