I just acquired a Cyrusher e-bike and am thoroughly enjoying the experience! But I’ve found that my battery life isn’t as excellent as I was hoping for. At full charge, I’m getting a bit less range than stated. I ride on mixed terrain with moderate hills and weigh about 180 lbs. I also pedal assist most of the time but have recourse to the throttle every now and then.
I have some queries:
Is it typical for battery range to change depending on terrain and weight?
How can I make my battery last longer and have improved performance?
Would it be worth it to upgrade to a higher-capacity battery?
I always charge my battery following every ride but do not overcharge. Any advice from experienced Cyrusher riders would be much appreciated! I would like to ensure that I am getting the best out of my e-bike and keeping the battery in good health in the long term.
Also, while reading about battery analytics, I found Power BI dashboards. They appear to be helpful for monitoring performance metrics. What is a Power BI dashboard, and might it assist in monitoring e-bike battery usage efficiently?
Looking forward to hearing from you. Thank you in advance! ???

Yes, battery range typically changes depending on the terrain and weight. Heavier loads and steep inclines require more energy, which reduces the distance you can travel on a single charge. (Riding style, weather condition also will affect riding range)
If you’re thinking about upgrading to a high-capacity battery, it really depends on how you use your e-bike. If you want to ride longer distances, it might be worth it. But if you don’t ride that often, maybe just keep using it for a bit and see if you really need the upgrade.
Since you charge after every ride and avoid overcharging, you’re already taking a good approach. Consider the tips below to maximize your battery’s efficiency:
Use the right pedaling frequency.
Adjust the assistance levels on your e-bike as needed. Use lower levels on flat surfaces to conserve battery.
Check tire pressure before each ride, as proper inflation improves rolling efficiency.
Minimize frequent stops and starts, as accelerating from a standstill consumes more energy.
Maintain your e-bike by oiling the chain and replacing worn brake pads (depends on how often you ride).
Just do the basic maintenance and you’re good to go. The real fun is in the ride itself, so just enjoy it.
