Factors Affecting Range
Battery capacity: More Wh = longer range
Assist level: Lower assist = more range
Terrain: Hills reduce range significantly
Weight: Heavier load = shorter range
Weather: Cold temperatures reduce capacity
Range Optimization Tips
Use lower assist levels when possible
Maintain proper tire pressure
Plan routes to avoid steep hills
Keep battery warm in cold weather
Regular battery maintenance
Understanding E-Bike Range
What Determines E-Bike Range?
E-bike range depends on several key factors: battery capacity (measured in watt-hours), motor efficiency, riding conditions, terrain, rider weight, and assist level usage. Understanding these factors helps you choose the right e-bike and optimize its performance.
Battery Technology
- •Lithium-ion: Most common, good energy density
- •Voltage levels: 24V, 36V, 48V, 52V available
- •Capacity: Measured in Wh (watt-hours)
- •Lifecycle: Typically 500-1000 charge cycles
Range Calculation Method
Range = (Battery Wh × Efficiency Factors) / Power Consumption
- Battery Wh: Total energy storage capacity
- Efficiency Factors: Terrain, conditions, weight
- Power Consumption: Motor power + assist level
- Typical consumption: 10-25 Wh/km
Pro tip: Most manufacturers' range claims are based on ideal conditions. Real-world range is typically 60-80% of claimed range.
