- To be aware of
- Battery
- For the Tenways CGO660, the battery is expected to support a range of more than 500 cycles. This range is typical for lithium-ion batteries used in electric bicycles and is influenced by factors such as temperature, charging habits, and the depth of discharge.
- To maximize the battery life, it is recommended to avoid deep discharges and to keep the battery charged between 20% and 80% whenever possible.
- Additionally, using the original charger and avoiding extreme temperatures can help maintain battery health.
