Unlocking power and battery range

[woodie]

Will unlocking the the default setting of 20 mph to 28 mph decrease my range during normal use and keeping it around 20 mph.
Most of my riding will be under 20 mph but will do an occasional run up to 25-28.

Logically riding at faster speeds will consume more power and thus decrease your range. Just like a car. Driving at 65 will use more gas than driving at 55 so your distance between fill ups goes down.

Yep, just to say, wind resistance increases exponentially

You'll decrease your range only when exceeding the old 20 mph limit. For instance, when ridden at 15 mph, there will be no difference before vs. after unlocking.

Thanks.Kind of what I thought.Just wasn’t sure if rinding around in the higher power setting even going below 20 mph would still drain my battery more than the default setting.
