Is it possible to ride an electric bike with a dead battery?

An e-bike remains functional even when its battery is drained. The motor's role is to supplement pedaling, not replace it. Once the battery power is exhausted, riders can continue their journey by pedaling as they would on a conventional bicycle. This capability ensures that commuters can reach their destinations regardless of battery status.

Is it bad to leave an e-bike on all the time?

Keeping an e-bike powered on constantly is not ideal, particularly during storage. For battery health, maintain a charge between 40-50%. When storing long-term, detach the battery to prevent gradual power loss. Inspect the charge every few months and top up if needed, but avoid constant charging.

Should I remove the battery from my e-bike when not in use?

For extended periods of inactivity, such as winter storage, removing the battery is beneficial. Keep it in a temperate indoor environment. This practice helps preserve battery condition and efficiency for when riding resumes.

Is this e-bike suitable for hilly roads?

E-bikes offer advantages on hilly terrain. They reduce the effort required to climb inclines compared to standard bicycles. When encountering steep grades, riders should increase motor assistance and select a lower gear. This approach maximizes the e-bike's effectiveness on challenging slopes.

Will a bigger battery make my e-bike faster?

No, the battery only affects the distance the bike can travel. However, having a larger battery has another advantage - if you don't discharge the battery to 0%, it lasts significantly longer.

FAQs – Everything You Need to Know About Movin E-Bikes

We’re here to assist you with any questions about owning, riding, and maintaining your Movin commuter e-bike.

Yes. A Movin commuter e-bike functions like a regular bicycle when the battery runs out. The 500W motor simply stops assisting, but you can pedal home just as you would on a standard bike. This ensures riders never get stranded, making our Canadian commuter e-bikes reliable for daily travel and delivery routes.

It’s not recommended to keep your electric bike powered on constantly. For best battery health, keep the charge between 40–50% when storing. If you’re leaving your Movin Tempo Max or Pulse unused for long periods, remove the battery to prevent power loss. Regular top-ups every few months help preserve long-term performance.

Yes, especially during winter storage in Canada. Removing the Samsung 48V battery and keeping it indoors in a moderate temperature environment preserves its lifespan. This practice maximizes efficiency and ensures your commuter e-bike is ready for spring and summer rides.

Absolutely. Our 500W hub motor with pedal assist makes climbing hills effortless. Riders can increase assistance levels and shift gears to handle steep grades. This makes Movin commuter e-bikes ideal for Canadian cities with hills, as well as long-range delivery rides that demand power and consistency.

No, a larger battery doesn’t change top speed (limited to 32 km/h in Canada), but it does extend your riding range. For example, the Tempo Max commuter e-bike delivers 80–90 km per charge, while dual-battery setups can go up to 200 km. A bigger battery means fewer recharges and more freedom for long commutes, deliveries, or weekend adventures.
