Q: How long do the batteries ("Power Modules") last on a T3? A: Typically, the batteries ("Power Modules") last 4-10 hours, depending on factors such as speed, terrain, rider weight, additional equipment/cargo, etc.

Q: How long does it take to charge the batteries ("Power Modules") for a T3? A: On average, it takes about three hours to fully recharge a set of T3 Series Power Modules. Typically, most recharging occurs with about 50% remaining power left in the Power Modules, and that takes about an hour to top off.

Q: How many batteries ("Power Modules") does it take to run a T3? A: Two. Since the T3 Series is a revolutionary multi-shift electric vehicle, the Power Modules are swap-able, similar to a cordless drill or video camera battery. Each Power Module weighs around 17 pounds. Instead of making one large, heavy Power Module that is difficult to swap, the Power Modules are split in two (also to help spread the low center of gravity).
