Earlier this year I bought the Extender Battery for my Vado SL 5.0. After a bit of trying stuff out I settled in to running
in Sport mode all of the time and I was able to get about 75 miles of range with about 20 percent of the total battery charge remaining.
Most of my rides are from 20-26 miles and earlier this year I was averaging 14.5+ mph with an occasional 15+ average.
About 1 to 2 weeks ago I noticed that I was getting faster and using about 2%/mile of the total battery capacity.
I have cut the sport range back to 45-65 and am now running an average speed of 15.5+ with occasional rides at 16 mph.
My last ride averaged 15.6 mph over 25.18 miles and used 40% of the total battery capacity.
Late last month I had the bike in for its yearly checkup and Range Extender firmware upgrade. It seems like since then battery consumption has
increased....
Anyone else have similar problems?
