Range
All electric bikes indicate a maximum mileage range that they can cover on a single battery charge. This is the furthest range in ideal conditions; however, this range can be impacted by a number of factors:
The combined weight of the rider and any luggage.
The assistance mode selected.
The cycling route (e.g. type of terrain and inclines).
Temperature and climate (e.g. cold weather will decrease the performance of the battery).
Tyre pressure.
Wind speed and direction.
NB. In the UK you must be over 14 years old to ride an electric bike but you won't need a licence, nor do you need to register it or pay vehicle tax.
Motor:
The Pendleton Somerby E is fitted with a rear hub Bafang 36V 250W electric motor system, seamlessly integrated into the rear wheel. The system is equipped with a Speed sensor, which automatically engages the motor once you begin pedalling to provide power assistance to your ride. As required by law, the motor will automatically stop assisting you once you achieve a speed of 15.5mph.
Head-Unit:
The electric motor of the Pendleton Somerby E is controlled via a 3-function LED display –offering Low, Medium or High levels of power-assist. The display / control unit includes an integrated push button to switch between the 3 assistance levels, alongside the power On/Off button. The display is located on the left side of the handlebar and its compact size reduces the risk of damage when in use. This display also allows you to use the bike in ‘walk’ mode.
