1. What is Electric Bicycle Range?

The range of an electric bicycle is the maximum distance it can travel on a single battery charge. It depends on the battery capacity and the energy consumption rate of the bicycle.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the simple range formula:

Where:

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

Explanation: The formula divides the total energy available in the battery by the energy used per kilometer to determine how many kilometers can be traveled.

3. Importance of Range Calculation

Details: Knowing your e-bike's range helps plan trips, avoid running out of battery, and understand the real-world performance of your electric bicycle.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter battery capacity in Wh (usually listed in the specifications) and your typical consumption rate in Wh/km (can be found in your bike's display or manual). Both values must be greater than zero.

5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What's a typical e-bike battery capacity?
A: Most e-bikes have batteries between 300Wh and 700Wh, with high-end models reaching 1000Wh or more.

Q2: What affects energy consumption?
A: Factors include rider weight, terrain, speed, wind, tire pressure, and assist level used.

Q3: How can I improve my e-bike's range?
A: Use lower assist levels, maintain proper tire pressure, reduce speed, and avoid heavy acceleration.

Q4: Is this range estimate accurate for real-world conditions?
A: This is a theoretical maximum. Actual range will vary based on riding conditions and style.

Q5: Can I use this for other electric vehicles?
A: The same formula applies to any electric vehicle, though consumption rates will differ.
