Range Calculation Formula:
From: | To: |
The e-bike battery range is the estimated distance an electric bicycle can travel on a single charge. It depends on battery capacity and energy consumption per kilometer.
The calculator uses the basic range equation:
Where:
Explanation: The equation divides the total energy available in the battery by the energy used per kilometer to estimate total range.
Details: Knowing your e-bike's range helps plan trips, avoid running out of power, and understand battery performance under different conditions.
Tips: Enter battery capacity in Wh (found on battery label) and your typical consumption in Wh/km (varies by riding style, terrain, assist level). Typical consumption ranges from 5-20 Wh/km.
Q1: What's a typical e-bike battery capacity?
A: Common capacities range from 300Wh to 700Wh, with some high-end models having 1000Wh or more.
Q2: How can I reduce my energy consumption?
A: Use lower assist levels, maintain proper tire pressure, avoid heavy loads, and ride at steady speeds.
Q3: Why is my actual range different from the calculation?
A: Real-world factors like hills, wind, temperature, and riding style affect actual range.
Q4: How do I find my e-bike's consumption rate?
A: Many displays show real-time consumption, or you can calculate it by tracking distance traveled versus battery percentage used.
Q5: Does battery age affect range?
A: Yes, battery capacity decreases over time, reducing range. After 500-1000 cycles, capacity may drop to 80% of original.
