Winter range loss is normal and temporary: cold slows the chemistry inside lithium cells, so riders across France, Germany, Spain and Italy are seeing shorter distances per charge until spring, no matter which scooter they own. This season the SUNNIGOO team is collecting real winter range numbers from our rider community, and we are pairing that call with the battery rules that matter most in freezing weather: charge indoors at room temperature, store the pack dry and frost-free at around 40-60 percent charge, and plan winter trips against a shorter range rather than the summer figure.
Key dates and facts
| Item | Detail |
|---|---|
| Range in cold weather | Noticeably shorter per charge than in mild weather; temporary, recovers when temperatures rise |
| Charging rule | Indoors, at room temperature; never charge a pack that is still freezing cold |
| Storage rule | Dry, frost-free room, roughly 40-60 percent charge when idle for weeks |
| How to share your numbers | Message the SUNNIGOO support team with your model, temperature and distance per charge |
How to take part and protect your battery
- Send our support team one line with your model, the outside temperature and the distance you actually get per charge this month. Aggregated community results will appear in a future update.
- Adopt the winter battery routine: charge at room temperature, store at 40-60 percent charge in a frost-free room, and check the charge every few weeks during storage.
- Before each winter ride, test both brakes, check tyre pressure against the sidewall specification and keep your lights working for dark afternoons and evenings.
