    door dash - very good tip about the 30 min battery cool down before charging. That's one battery tip I had not heard.

    Watched that video while going to work on my e-bike. Those are some interesting tips, I would also recommend "kickstarting" the bike, what I mean by that is starting to move with your pedals, not just gas, since this first second of movement is very hard for your power consumption (it's hard to move all that mass from the stop, so helping with your muscles decreases the battery usage).
    I work in company called Samokat (Scooter) in Western Siberia and it's a darkstore (basically a supermarket that you can't go inside, but you can purchase goods in the app and they will be delivered to your house / office). about 60 percent of our guys are using MTB's, 20 are on e-bikes and other 20 are using anything else. I have 500w e-fat bike that is custom build and sometimes I have around 6 to 8 hours of working time from my battery, but if something goes wrong and I should go 25MPH constantly to catch up, it can drain the battery in like 4 hours.

    Door dash... All great points. Another thing you can do, if you cut your charging about 1 volt before it's set to cut off, you'll increase your battery's lifespan ten fold. Letting the battery cool is a very good point. I popped the lid on my scooter after a long ride and the battery was warm. I hooked up both chargers to it for fast charging and it never got as warm as discharging the battery got it. Also, if you have dual chargers, just stick to one. Fast charging will shorten the lifespan, and also cause the cells to go out of balance.

    Tire inflation and tread pattern matters. I had tires which were 20 PSI knobby tires on my bike; they were typically filled to 15 PSI. The tires were swapped out with Innova Hybrid tires, which are 30 PSI with a street tread. They were filled to 30 PSI. My range increased. The rolling resistance is much less on the newer tires, which are running a higher pressure. Knobby tires also have more rolling resistance than street tread patterns too.
    A simple coasting test can validate this. Get on a level street and take your eBike to 20 MPH, then at a specific point let off the throttle and coast. Note how far you coasted. Repeat this test when you have gone to a higher pressure street tread pattern. You will notice you coast further. This means your motor has to work less hard to move your bike.

      Max pressure for range, decreased pressure (assuming your tires are wide enough for it without pinch flat risk) for grip on snow/sand/gravel/etc

    I'd imagine a higher capacity battery would also not heat up as much in general because of its capacity is used for the same distance travelled. Door dash.

    If you REALLY want to extend the life of your battery, never charge it above 85% or below 15%.
    Always accelerate with your legs only. Acceleration is very hard on the battery in terms of range.
    Cops on ebikes is dumb. The battery would never last a whole shift. The bikes are already extremely expensive. Trek markets a police bike for $9999.99. That was before covid. It's probably 14,000.00 today.

      Ebikes and battery size has evolved over the past couple years. There are multiple bikes in the 70 to 100 Amp hour capacity today. There is even a couple that claim 200 miles of range, if you ride them slowly and pedal. My Motor Goat v3, with the factory dual battery setup (45 Amp hour capacity) will go 100 miles if you are cruising throttle-only at 20 MPH.

      @@addertooth1 If you were driving down a 100 mile perfectly flat highway nonstop with no wind at 20mph with a 100lb rider.
      If, however, you were driving outside of utopia-ville in the real world where the wind blows, traffic stops and starts and where there are hills, the the real world mileage would be much worse.
      Add in the fact that it takes more than 500 watts to go 20mph even on flat ground without wind and this mileage is being greatly exaggerated.
      2700 watt hours is a good sized battery, but these ridiculous range claims are nonsense. Aside from the above mentioned problems, nobody rides these things at 20mph.
