eBike Range Equation:
From: | To: |
The eBike range calculation estimates how far an electric bicycle can travel on a single battery charge based on its battery capacity and energy consumption rate.
The calculator uses the simple range equation:
Where:
Explanation: The equation divides the total available energy by the energy used per kilometer to determine maximum range.
Details: Knowing your eBike's range helps plan trips, avoid running out of battery, and understand how different conditions affect performance.
Tips: Enter battery capacity in Wh (found in specifications) and consumption in Wh/km (typically 5-20 Wh/km depending on conditions). All values must be positive numbers.
Q1: What's a typical eBike battery capacity?
A: Most eBikes have batteries between 300Wh and 700Wh, with high-end models reaching 1000Wh or more.
Q2: What affects energy consumption?
A: Rider weight, terrain, assist level, speed, wind, and tire pressure all significantly impact consumption.
Q3: How accurate is this calculation?
A: This provides theoretical maximum range. Real-world range is typically 70-90% of calculated due to varying conditions.
Q4: Can I use this for other electric vehicles?
A: Yes, the same principle applies to any electric vehicle, though consumption values will differ.
Q5: How can I improve my eBike's range?
A: Use lower assist levels, maintain proper tire pressure, reduce speed, and avoid unnecessary weight.
