Here's a rule of thumb regarding the rage of the Super Soco TC 30 Ah battery when riding in hilly terrain or through mountains:
- One battery = 65 km on flat terrain
- Two batteries = 130 km
- Subtract 1 km from the range for every 60 m uphill
- Use Google Maps Bicycle view for calculation of the uphill balance
- Change battery at 55%-50% SOC to avoid melted connectors
- Keep in mountains at least 15% SOC = 10 km = 1 hour charge
- Recharge 10 km/h with standard charger, 20 km/h with two chargers
- avoid hills which are steeper than 15% (20% for a very short distance)
This 65 km minus 1 km / 60 m is no rocket science but it works very well!
My TC is mountain tested:
