Although there are many choices, not a few people still doubt the ability of electric motorbikes. Starting from simple things like whether it can be washed or not, to being used to travel long distances, aka touring.

 Bicara soal touring, sebenarnya motor listrik juga dapat digunakan untuk menempuh jarak jauh. Namun diperlukan manajemen khusus yang tidak bisa disamakan dengan motor konvensional.

 Most importantly, electric motorcycle owners must understand the capacity of the battery used. Estimate how much distance can be covered in one battery charge.

 Thus, it can be the main benchmark before leaving for touring. Simply put, electric motorcycle owners already have their own data or calculations so they can estimate the battery's capabilities.

 “If you have used it, it means that the driver has data that can be a benchmark for mileage capabilities. If so, they can map the distance and location to charge the battery, so no problems occur,” said Head of United E-Motor Awan Setiawan some time ago.

 But what's equally important to remember is that there are many other factors that affect battery capacity. From tire air pressure, vehicle load, road conditions, and other things.

 “Keep in mind that the type or quality of battery also has different performance,” he said.

 Therefore, before traveling, it is better for motorcycle owners to also determine the route that will be passed. The goal is to estimate the maximum mileage, time, and safe location to charge the battery.

Although electric motors now have a variety of speed capabilities, keep in mind that when traveling long distances you must be able to control the speed. The faster the motor speed, the faster the battery percentage decreases.

 When facing an uphill route, riders should be wise in twisting the throttle. Avoid riding at a low speed when going uphill and understand the acceleration of the motorcycle.

 If you push the gas too hard, the power capacity of the electric motor may also be reduced when going up steep inclines. This is because the power required is higher than normal driving.

 Most electric motorcycles come with a choice of riding modes. To save power usage, it is better to utilize Eco mode when riding on flat terrain across town. This will at least help extend the battery life
