RIDING RANGE

The maximum range is 10 miles. However, a lot of factors will affect how far you
can go per charge:

• Driving Surface: A smooth, flat surface will increase driving distance.

• Weight: More weight means less distance.

• Temperature: Ride and store the Nitro above 50°F.

• Maintenance: Timely battery charging and maintenance will increase driving
distance.

• Speed and Driving Style: Frequent starting and stopping will reduce driving
distance.
