1. What is the E-Bike Distance Calculator?

The E-Bike Distance Calculator estimates how far you can travel between cities on an electric bike based on your battery capacity and energy consumption rate.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the simple formula:

Where:

• \( Capacity \) — Battery capacity in Watt-hours (Wh)
• \( Consumption \) — Energy consumption rate in Watt-hours per kilometer (Wh/km)

Explanation: The formula divides your total battery capacity by how much energy your e-bike uses per kilometer to determine your maximum range.

3. Importance of Distance Calculation

Details: Knowing your e-bike's range is crucial for planning trips between cities, ensuring you don't run out of battery power before reaching your destination or a charging station.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter your battery's total capacity in Wh and your e-bike's typical consumption rate in Wh/km. Both values must be positive numbers.

5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: How do I find my e-bike's consumption rate?
A: Check your e-bike's specifications or use a power meter. Typical values range from 5-20 Wh/km depending on conditions.

Q2: What factors affect actual distance?
A: Terrain, rider weight, wind, speed, temperature, and battery age can all significantly impact actual range.

Q3: Should I include a safety margin?
A: Yes, it's recommended to calculate with 20-30% less distance than the maximum to account for variables.

Q4: How accurate is this calculation?
A: It provides a theoretical maximum. Real-world conditions typically reduce actual range by 10-40%.

Q5: Can I use this for other electric vehicles?
A: The same principle applies, but consumption rates will be different for e-scooters, e-cars, etc.
