A:Answer The battery life will depend upon external factors such as the riders weight, the terrain and degrees of grade. It also depends on whether you are riding or keeping the SwagCycle on standby, or use the built-in USB port to charge devices. It is recommend that you charge it fully at least once a month if you haven’t used it. Always charge the battery to full capacity after cycling session. The maximum load is 264 pounds and the maximum incline is 12°. The maximum speed is 15 mph/12 km/h. All of this will cause a difference in total distance available to each particular rider.
