According to Leoguar’s 2024 product white paper, the 48V 14Ah lithium-ion battery pack of its electric bicycle can have 1,200 full charge and discharge cycles according to normal test cycles (ambient temperature of 25℃, load weight of 75 kilograms, and average output power of 350W). The capacity decline rate is controlled at 20%, which is equivalent to 5 years or 36,000 kilometers of lifespan. Actual user data from real life shows that the distance with a single charge can be up to 95 kilometers (median value) in the hybrid power mode (electric motor support + manual propulsion). Using a 20-kilometer one-way work commute, the charging frequency can be reduced to 1.2 times a week, significantly reducing battery wear and tear. Compared with the industrial average (a 30% capacity loss after 800 cycles), Leoguar battery cycle stability has improved by 37.5%.
The impact of temperature on battery life has a high correlation. UL Solutions laboratory tests show that the capacity of Leoguar batteries drops significantly by 28% in an environment of -10℃, whereas in the best temperature range of 10℃-30℃, capacity fading per thousand cycles is merely 1.8%. Customer usage data reveal that the use of intelligent temperature-controlled chargers (such as Leoguar TurboCharge 3.0) allows battery operation temperatures to be maintained at 18℃±3℃ and extends battery longevity by 22%. In addition, the load level straight away affects the range: if the load is increased from 75 kilograms to 120 kilograms, battery discharge increases by 42%, and the range reduces to 68 kilometers (based on the 2023 European electric bike User Association sample survey).
Where battery maintenance expenses are concerned, Leogaru officially suggests a deep charge and discharge calibration every 12 months (costing about $15), which can decrease the capacity error rate from ±6% to ±2%. In contrast to conventional lead-acid batteries (which must be replaced every two years and which cost $200), the entire life cycle cost of Leoguar lithium batteries is lowered by 58%. The 2024 TUV Rheinland certification in Germany shows that the brand’s battery is still able to maintain 900 effective cycles under the 80% deep discharge (DOD) mode, 31% better than the 600-cycle standard benchmark required by the EN 50604-1 standard.
Verify theoretical data with actual usage examples: According to the operation report of Lime, a US-based shared mobility platform, electric bicycles equipped with Leoguar batteries are utilized, on average, 6.3 times per day (average 7.2 kilometers per trip) in the San Francisco region. After being used intensively for 18 months, the battery capacity remains 82% of the initial value, which is considerably higher than the average 68% for other devices. Under the climate adaptability test, customer feedback from Dubai indicated that in a temperature of 45℃, Leoguar’s battery life was still able to reach 74% of nominal value (industry standard was 52%), thanks to the overheat protection response speed of its BMS being 300 milliseconds ahead of the ISO 6469-1 specification.
User replacement decision model shows that at the point where battery capacity has reduced to 70% from its original capacity, 63% of consumers opt for replacement (Data source: 2024 Global electric bike Market Research). At 7.2 years, it takes to reach this point with an average annual cycling distance of 6,000 kilometers as seen from the Leoguar battery attenuation curve. In comparison with the 15-year lifespan of the battery of Tesla electric cars, the battery replacement cycle of electric bicycle is shorter. But the sole replacement cost contributes only 18%-22% (approximately 280-400 US dollars) to the vehicle price, much lower than 45%-60% ratio of battery replacement in electric cars. Therefore, combining technical specifications, conditions of use and maintenance methods, Leoguar batteries have a more favorable balance between longevity and cost-effectiveness than competing products.
