What does it say on the tyre?

 

[windy7777]

35 to 45 but on the swagtron website who made my bike it says 65.

I'd go by what it says on the tyre.

dang my ocd is telling me i need more range lol. but when i think about it i have plenty to go to dr office which would be the farest i need to go

I doubt an extra 5psi would be a problem for the tyre, but equally very unlikely to affect the range either.

Turn down amount of assist to get more range.

my bike is simple its either on or off.. but ina year or 2 im updateing

Range depends on so many things. I doubt putting more air in your tyres will make any difference. Go with the recommended tyre pressure.

Buy a spare battery, or pedal a bit more.

In which case you don't really *need* more range!

The worst case scenario is that you run out of juice and have to pedal a bike that's a little heavier.
