E-bikes and temperature impact - 48v17ah - September 11, 2025
How much does temperature affect the range? I'm guessing the biggest performance hit would be from the battery. I noticed mine seems to take a small hit when it is slightly colder. I was wondering if temperature would affect any other components?

Motor
- The electric motor generates heat when converting electrical energy to mechanical motion.
- Heat builds up especially during hill climbing, heavy loads, or prolonged high speeds.
Controller
- The controller manages current flow and speed using and other electronics.
- These switching components can get quite hot, often requiring heat sinks or thermal pads.
Wiring & Connectors
- High current draw (especially from motor to controller) causes resistive heating.
- Poor-quality or undersized connectors can get noticeably hot.

If by performance you mean range then this is correct. Everything else is minor.
