How long is total battery life for the iBike Dash?

Is it possible to extend battery life beyond 4 hours?

Yes! Battery life can be increased by changing user-selectable energy management settings found in the iBike ® app. Also, the spare battery can be changed at any time during a long day of riding. A message from the iBike app will tell you when it’s time to change your spare battery. A few extra batteries (only 20 grams each) in your bike pouch will get you through a long day of touring.
