Distance Calculation Formula:
From: | To: |
The E Bike Distance Calculator estimates how far an electric bicycle can travel on a single charge based on battery capacity and energy consumption rate.
The calculator uses the simple formula:
Where:
Explanation: The formula divides the total available energy by the energy used per kilometer to determine maximum range.
Details: Accurate distance estimation helps e-bike users plan trips, avoid running out of battery, and understand their vehicle's performance characteristics.
Tips: Enter battery capacity in Wh (typically found on battery label) and consumption rate in Wh/km (can be found in manual or measured during rides). All values must be positive numbers.
Q1: What's a typical e-bike battery capacity?
A: Most e-bikes have batteries between 300-700 Wh, with high-end models reaching 1000 Wh or more.
Q2: What affects energy consumption?
A: Rider weight, terrain, assist level, speed, tire pressure, and wind conditions all significantly impact consumption.
Q3: How can I measure my actual consumption?
A: Note your battery percentage before and after a ride of known distance, then calculate: (Capacity × % used) / distance.
Q4: Why is my actual range different?
A: This calculates theoretical maximum range. Real-world factors like hills, stops/starts, and temperature reduce actual range.
Q5: Should I include a safety margin?
A: Yes, it's recommended to plan for 20-30% less distance than calculated to account for variables and battery aging.
