Your e-motorcycle’s lifespan depends on how long you can keep its battery healthy. It is the most important part of your vehicle as it is the source of power that makes the motor function and channels the energy through all your e-motorcycle’s components. You must maintain your battery properly to keep it functioning correctly. It’s also critical that your bike will not fail during your ride. Here are some tips to prolong your e-motorcycle’s battery health.

Recharge Properly

If you are a new user of an e-motorcycle, you must know the process of charging the battery. The safest procedure to charge your battery is to initially connect the charger to the battery pack before plugging it into the electrical outlet. This is the proper way of connecting to an electrical outlet to charge your battery, preventing arcing. 


Electrical arcing is the event where electricity jumps from one connection to another, which can cause a fire inside your home. Arcing causes heat in the insulations around the wires and can reach any wood surface in your home that will cause disastrous fire. You must follow the right procedure in charging your battery to avoid deadly fire and protect your battery.

The Charging Environment

When charging your e-motorcycle’s battery, you need a dry, temperate, and clean area. Try to avoid areas that have a damp or cluttered environment. If your ideal place for charging is your garage, make sure that it is clean and free from obstructions to prevent any accidents. Ensure that your electrical source does not have any issues that can affect the power source for charging your e-motorcycle’s battery.

Best Time to Charge

If you want the full potential of your e-motorcycle, you should charge it right before your scheduled ride. You also need to let your e-motorcycle cool down at least 30 minutes after your ride before you start charging. It is also essential to always check your voltage meter on your LCD before you ride out. 

Set a Timer

One of the most efficient ways of charging your battery is to set a timer to ensure you won’t forget to unplug it from your power source. You can purchase an outlet timer at any hardware store, which can help you prevent overcharging the battery. Once the alarm sets off, check if your battery is fully charged and don’t forget to unplug the charger from the outlet then the charger from your battery.

Hibernate

The winter season will force you to store your e-motorcycle for a while. You must keep your battery at the correct charge level during hibernation. Maintain at least 50% capacity, and regularly check your battery because it will self-discharge over time when not in use. 


E-motorcycles are fun to use, and it is an ideal travel vehicle for your daily schedule. While travelling with your electric motorcycle, ensure that you keep your bike secured when leaving it in a parking slot. It is also best that you park your e-bike in a covered parking slot to prevent it from getting wet in case it rains. Make sure that you lock your front wheel and all the compartments to prevent theft. You don’t want your battery to get stolen because it is expensive to replace.


Taking care of your electric motorcycle’s battery will give you more benefits as you make its life longer. These helpful tips will help you avoid range loss and increase more riding miles. You won’t have to worry about your long rides knowing that your bike has good battery health.

Data logging for electric vehicles offers numerous benefits. Firstly, it enables vehicle owners and enthusiasts to comprehensively analyse and evaluate their vehicle's performance. By recording essential parameters such as engine RPM, speed, throttle position, and braking force, among others, data logging facilitates the identification of areas for improvement, fine-tuning of vehicle settings, and tracking of performance changes over time. Furthermore, data logging serves as a valuable diagnostic and troubleshooting tool, providing crucial information about sensor readings, error codes, and system behaviour during specific events or conditions. This empowers mechanics and vehicle owners to identify problems accurately and make informed decisions regarding repairs or maintenance. For performance enthusiasts, data logging allows customization and optimization of vehicle settings, as continuous monitoring and logging of performance data enable precise fine-tuning of engine parameters, suspension settings, and other components. This approach helps achieve desired performance characteristics while maximizing efficiency. Importantly, data logging contributes to safety by providing insights into driver behaviour and vehicle performance, recording data related to acceleration, braking, speed, and other parameters. This information can be utilized for training purposes, monitoring driving habits, and assessing vehicle performance during critical situations. Thus, data logging proves to be an invaluable tool, offering multifaceted advantages for vehicle owners, enthusiasts, mechanics, and the automotive industry as a whole. When it comes to Evoke Motorcycles, collected data is used for identifying errors and potential areas of improvement in prototypes and other models. If an error or an abnormality comes up in the data, it can be easily noticed and traced to its origin, helping identify the root of the problem. Furthermore, using data brings valuable insights into driver behaviour and its variety. If one behaviour is more prevalent than the other, or there are many, the design or parameters can be manipulated to better suit the driver and make the driving experience much more pleasant and comfortable. In the future, data analytics are planned to be shifted in the hands of AI/ML providing instantaneous criteria and analysis on the go, as the data is being collected. This will fully automate the process and result in much more detailed diagnostics once the AI is sufficiently trained on the past data processes. All of the data is collected and stored within the vehicle, as this surpasses the limitation of servers. If the data is stored within a server in one country, a user in the other might not be able to access it. If the data is stored inside the Evoke motorcycle itself, the user can access it at any point and maintains full control of their own riding data. If there are any issues with the electric motorcycle, or the user would like to understand their riding data better, it can be easily sent to Evoke for review, bypassing any geopolitical limitations that would be otherwise present with the use of servers. The vehicle records up to 10 hours of riding data and is collected every 0.5 seconds. As of 2024, the 120 collected data points make up the five main data pools:

Vehicles, that run with combustion engines or ICEs rely on a jackshaft to efficiently distribute the produced power or simply optimise the conversion of energy to the wheels of the vehicle. ICEs cannot automatically regulate the speed of their rotation. In order to control it, different gears are introduced, to be able to increase and decrease the torque. If the jackshaft is part of a transmission system, it may have multiple gears or pulleys of different sizes attached to it. These gears or pulleys can have different ratios, allowing for torque conversion or speed adjustment. Gear ratio can be calculated via the formula below:

In terms of automotive there may be a handful of principles that determine the overall form and componentry present on a vehicle. Inescapable is physics, aspirational is performance but as another 20th century icon dictated, there's no escaping the bottom line and in manufacturing that means a need to establish and maintain a lean operational footprint.
