Hello,
I am new to this forum and hope you can assist. I just bought a new electric bike, the ejoe epik se 2018 model. The dealer told me to charge the battery every time i finish riding it optimize the battery cells. I am using it to commute to work, 16 miles round trip. After my morning commute, I still have enough charge (a little more than half way) and can make it home without recharging.
Questions:
1) I've been carrying the charger with me and recharging it at work and home. Can i just charge at home so i dont have to lug it back and forth? How much does it affect the battery? The 16 miles will be the same every day, 5 days a week. I will probably not use it for anything else if that matters.
2) If i should charge it every time i finish using the bike, i found a charger on craigslist for the same model bike but older version. The amp and voltage are lower than my current charger.
Input Amp - 1.8A versus 2.0A
Output 42V - 2.0 A versus 54.6V-2.0A
Will this affect the battery if i use this at?
3) Does using throttle and pedaling affect the motor?
Thank you!
