As a new rider, after getting your hands on the "all-rounder" QEKUD73 electric motorcycle, your top priorities are likely "how to make the battery last" and "how often to charge for daily use."
Equipped with a 48V 18Ah high-capacity lithium battery, the QEKUD73 delivers an impressive 60-90 mile range. With its removable battery design and built-in BMS (Battery Management System), following the right charging habits will not only eliminate range anxiety but also significantly extend your battery’s lifespan.
We’ve put together this super simple weekly charging plan tailored for different riding styles. Let’s dive in!
I. Know Your QEKUD73 Battery "Personality"
Before planning, keep these core specs in mind:
-
Battery Config: 48V 18Ah Lithium battery with Smart BMS (protects against overcharge, over-discharge, and short circuits).
-
Range: 60-90 miles per charge (varies based on riding mode, terrain, and rider weight).
-
Charging Efficiency: 2-6 hours to full (the more power left, the faster it charges).
-
Convenience: Removable and lockable. You can charge it on the bike or bring it indoors.
II. Weekly Charging Schedule (Pick Your Scenario!)
Find the lifestyle that matches yours and follow the suggested rhythm:
| Riding Scenario | Daily Mileage | Weekly Frequency | Charging Timing & Tips |
| City Commuter (Work/Groceries) | 10-20 miles | 2-3 times / week | Charge when battery hits 30%-40%. Usually takes 3-4 hours. (e.g., Charge Mon & Thu). |
| Leisure Rider (Weekend trips) | 30-50 miles | Once a week | Charge immediately after your weekend ride (4-6 hours). If idle during the week, keep battery above 50%. |
| Light Off-Roader (1-2x / week) | 20-40 miles | 2 times / week | Always charge after off-roading (rough terrain drains power faster). Keep it at 60%-80% on off-days. |
| Occasional Rider (Short local trips) | ≤10 miles | Once every 10 days | Charge when power drops below 20%. If storing for over a week, keep it at 70% charge. |
III. Daily Charging Pro-Tips for Beginners
-
Don’t wait for "Zero": Lithium batteries hate "deep discharge." Charging at 30%-40% is the sweet spot to preserve cycle life while ensuring you have enough juice for the next trip.
-
Don’t "Over-time": While the BMS prevents overcharging, it’s best to unplug within 1 hour after reaching full charge. Usually, 2-6 hours is all you need.
-
Stick to the Original: Always use the original QEKUD73 charger. Third-party "fast chargers" can damage the BMS and compromise safety.
-
Flexibility: If you can’t park near an outlet, just unlock the battery and bring it to your office or home. Keep it in a dry place away from heat sources.
IV. Battery Maintenance: Make Your QEKUD73 "Bulletproof"
-
Temperature Control: Avoid charging in extreme environments (below 32°F/0°C or above 104°F/40°C). If you ride in the rain, wipe the battery and port dry and let it sit for a while before plugging in.
-
Eco Mode is Your Friend: Use Eco Mode for daily commuting to increase range by up to 20%. Save Power Mode for steep hills or off-roading.
-
Monitor the LCD: Check your 5.4-inch smart LCD display weekly. If you notice the voltage or battery percentage dropping abnormally fast, contact support to check the BMS.
-
Storage Rule: If not riding for more than a week, charge the battery to 70%, remove it, and store it in a cool, dry place. Top it up every 2 weeks to 60-70%.
V. New Rider Q&A
Q: Why does charging take 2 hours sometimes and 6 hours others?
A: Totally normal! It depends on how much power is left. If you have 50% left, it’s a quick 2-3 hour top-up. If it’s near empty, it needs the full 6 hours.
Q: Can I charge immediately after a rainy ride?
A: The QEKUD73 is water-resistant, but safety first! Wipe the ports dry and let the bike sit for 30 minutes before charging to prevent short circuits.
Q: How long will the battery last overall?
A: High-quality lithium batteries typically last 500-1,000 charge cycles. Following this weekly plan, you can easily get 2-3+ years of peak performance.
Q: Is removing the battery difficult?
A: Not at all! It’s a "tank-style" removable design. Just use your key to unlock it and pull it out. It’s light enough to carry with one hand.
Final Word
The QEKUD73’s 48V 18Ah battery is a powerhouse. By following this simple weekly guide, you’ll keep your battery healthy and your rides worry-free. Stop stressing about the "perfect time" to charge—just follow the 30%-40% rule and enjoy the ride!
