TM-B Range CapabilitiesUpdated 2 months ago
What are the differences between the ALSO TM-B battery options?
The ALSO TM-B Base model offers two battery options: a Base battery (up to 60 miles of range) and a Performance battery (up to 100 miles of range). Both are portable, charge via USB-C PD 3.1 at 240W, and utilize smart display technology and regenerative braking.
Comparing Base vs. Performance Battery Options
Choose the battery that best fits your commuting or adventure needs. Both configurations deliver best-in-class performance.
- Base Battery
- Max Range: Up to 60 miles per charge.
- Charging Standard: USB-C PD 3.1 at 240W.
- Performance Battery
- Max Range: Up to 100 miles per charge.
- Charging Standard: USB-C PD 3.1 at 240W.
Advanced Range Technology (Regen & Dynamic Display)
All TM-B models incorporate advanced features to help manage and extend your range efficiently.
Regenerative (Regen) Braking
Every TM-B is equipped with a regenerative braking system.
- Function: This system recaptures energy that would typically be lost during braking and stores it back in the battery.
- Impact: The total range capabilities listed above (60 mi / 100 mi) already include an estimated 25% range increase provided by this feature and is customizable in the app.
Dynamic Range Display
The TM-B doesn't just show a static range estimate; it learns from you.
- Function: As you ride the bike, the system learns your specific riding behaviors (e.g., how aggressively you accelerate, your typical terrain, selected ride mode).
- Impact: It dynamically adjusts the range display in real-time, providing a highly accurate, personalized estimate of how many miles you have left.
Factors Affecting Range
The total distance you can travel on a single charge is influenced by environmental conditions:
- Terrain (hills vs. flat ground)
- Weather conditions (wind resistance, cold temperatures)
- Selected ride mode (Sport vs. Conserve mode)
