Depending on the mode selected,
Sparc allows a range of action of
25 – 40 km (15 – 25 miles). This means
increased mobility with little effort.
The range achieved by a single
battery charge depends on various
factors. These include drive mode,
the condition of the battery, the road
conditions and particularly the
cyclist's own effort.
