I agree if I’m just going to the store or my local pub which is about 5 or 6 miles round-trip I won’t charge for days. But if I know I’m gonna have fun all day like I did yesterday going over 35 miles I charge fully.I would only charge if you need those extra 6 miles on an extra long ride. Electric ebikes can be very difficult to pedal without power uphill in a headwind (found out the hard way).
Agreed. We ride nearly everyday, but we generally don't go far. Maybe 3-10 miles. I ride without charging until the battery gets down to 45-46 volts, then it gets a charge.I agree if I’m just going to the store or my local pub which is about 5 or 6 miles round-trip I won’t charge for days.

How do you measure the voltage?Agreed. We ride nearly everyday, but we generally don't go far. Maybe 3-10 miles. I ride without charging until the battery gets down to 45-46 volts, then it gets a charge.
If I didn't have a direct read out on my display, I would use a voltmeter. After riding for a while, you'll see about where your indicator, whatever type you have that doesn't read in volts, is at when it get down to the point you want to charge it. E.G 2 bars left showing?How do you measure the voltage?
several times on that lesson. I didn't calculate headwinds in both directions. A coast line can do that to you. Had to call Mission Control to rescue me. I charge everytime I ride so there is no mistaking the distance I can achieve at this point in my desired ride.I would only charge if you need those extra 6 miles on an extra long ride.
