Technology lexicon
Terms are thrown around here! That's why we've put together a list of the most relevant and discussion-worthy terms, along with explanations.
AMPERS (A)
Ampere is the electrical unit for current.
AMPER HOUR (AH)
Ampere hours are a unit of electrical charge. It indicates the current that can be drawn from the battery over a period of one hour. The SUSHI battery has 9.6 Ah.
VOLTS (V)
The unit volt indicates the voltage of the current. The motor of the SUSHI BIKES has a voltage of 24 volts (V).
TORQUE (NM)
Torque is a physical unit that describes how much power the engine uses to turn the wheel.
PEDELEC
Your SUSHI BIKE is a Pedelec. The term Pedelec stands for Pedal Electric Cycle. Pedelecs are the most common type of e-bike. With Pedelecs, the cyclist can only be supported by the motor while pedaling, which means that Pedelecs are hybrid with (electric) motor and muscle power.
E-BIKES
By definition, e-bikes are bikes that do not require any effort to ride. E-bikes run solely on the integrated electric motor.
CUSTOMS
Inch is a unit of measurement that is very common for bicycles. One inch corresponds to 25.4 millimeters. All SUSHI BIKES models have 28 inch wheels - regardless of the frame height.
ENGINE
The SUSHI motor is a powerful 24 V / 200 W hub motor that lets you accelerate sportily and ride fast for a long time.
LIGHTING / LIGHT-LINK
We supply a road traffic ordinance-compliant lighting set with every SUSHI BIKE. This can be charged via USB and you can attach and remove it as you wish. The lights are integrated in the 3.0 models and are powered by the battery.
IPX4 CERTIFICATION / WATER RESISTANCE
In general, all installed parts are weatherproof. All SUSHI BIKES are certified to IPX4 DIN splash water standard - riding in the rain or leaving your bike outside is no problem. In sub-zero temperatures, the battery should be removed and stored in a warm place. Basically, the more carefully you treat your battery, the longer it will last.
INTENDED USE + PERMISSIBLE TOTAL WEIGHT
The permissible total weight of your SUSHI BIKE is 120 kg.
