Can the bicycle and tricycles be ridden as "normally"? 
Yes. The choice is yours - battery power and pedal power provides the best results and is they only way we recommend the use of the electric bicycle.

When should I re-charge batteries? 
We recommend you re-charge battery after each usage or at least when 'battery status indicator' shows 'half flat' or less. This ensures you get the most out of your Powered long term. Regular charging using a high quality switch mode battery charger will prolong the life of you batteries.

How long does it take to re-charge the batteries?
Depends on state of exhaustion of battery. If battery totally flat - re-charge time about 5-6 hrs. If half flat - about 2-3 hrs. Best to re-charge overnight.

How far will the bicycle travel between re-charges?
There are many variables that affect distance covered between re-charges such as weight of rider, type of terrain, number of stop / starts, riding speed, amount of pedal assistance etc. Laboratory tests have indicated a maximum range of 65km at 200 watts 36volts 12 aH. Our experience shows that most riders get an average of 20 – 50 km’s. Correct tire inflation and pedal assistance will increase the distance you get from each charge. Electric Bicycles are required to be pedal assisted to ensure they achieve their specified ratings including rated power outputs. Remember cheap high power output motors often sold over the web are not only heavy and inefficient but use so much power they are not useful for commuting .

How many re-charges will the batteries sustain?
Laboratory tests have indicated that batteries will take Up To 400 re-charges from flat - 800 from half flat - 1600 from quarter flat. Battery quality and life WILL vary.

Are spare parts readily available?
Yes. A full range of spare parts and accessories are available for the bicycles. In fact we have a wide range of upgrade options for your Power Smart as well. Fast chargers, High Amp Hour batteries and many more options to enhance your experience on a Power Smart E-Bike.

What maintenance is involved?
Basically there is no ongoing maintenance of electrical components other than re-charging batteries. Many of our bicycles use the latest generation Brushless Hub Drive motors where there are no contact point inside the motor that can cause wear and tare. It is advised to keep bicycle clean at all times. Under normal use, motor doesn't need readjustment and maintenance except that its outer surface needs cleaning at regular intervals.

What conditions impact the performance of the e-bikes?
The performance of the Electric bikes depends on many factors. The most important factors are listed here with the (generally speaking) most important at the top:

• Terrain (number and incline of hills)
• E-bike speed (range at 15 kph is 8 times as far as at 20 kph)
• Wind conditions (going 15 kph against a 15 kph headwind feels like 20 to the bike)
• Pulling a trailer (which is like pulling another bicycle)
• Correct tire inflation (under-inflated tires slow you down)
• Battery size (measured in volt-amp-hours)
• Weight of rider and baggage
• Motor/controller/drive system efficiency. (Brushless motors are most efficient)
