I have a Giant Dirt Ebike in its second season.
When I read the manual it suggests every 3 months the battery should be depleted to let the management system recalibrate or something. How far down should the charge be taken? Lots of my reading indicates it is not good to drain lithium batteries and the 'sweet spot' to keep your battery is between 30% and 80%.
Further to running the battery down, has anyone found a good way to drain the battery other than going on a long ride and running out of power 20 km from home?
BTW, I love my bike
