As my battery dwindles towards the end of the ride and I start looking for the truck, range anxiety starts to set in. For the record, I've done several 35+ mile pretty hard-core single-track desert rides with hills, sand washes, whoops, rocks, cactus - pretty much all kinds of varied terrain. Loving the bike (hate the phone/Arkenstone thing - it can't even keep track of simple mileage).
However, on a couple of occasions, I get back to the truck with 2% battery remaining. I'll ride around in circles trying to kill the battery, but I don't want it to die while I'm 1/2 mile from the truck, so I'm hesitant to run it until dead. So, has anyone run until dead? Is it linear? Does 2% really mean, I've got like 1 mile to go? Or, does it have more in the "tank" so you can get back to the truck? Like a reserve.
Any input is appreciated. Next time, when I get home from a ride like this, I'll put my wife in the truck and have her follow me around until I run out, but in the meantime...
Thanks,
