Electric Bike Range Equation:
From: | To: |
The electric bike range is the maximum distance an e-bike can travel on a single battery charge. It depends on battery capacity and energy consumption rate.
The calculator uses the simple range equation:
Where:
Explanation: The equation divides total available energy by energy used per distance unit to calculate maximum range.
Details: Knowing your e-bike's range helps plan trips, avoid running out of battery, and understand your bike's efficiency.
Tips: Enter battery capacity in Wh (check your battery specifications) and typical consumption in Wh/km (varies based on riding conditions).
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, wind, and tire pressure all impact consumption.
Q3: How can I improve my e-bike's range?
A: Use lower assist levels, maintain proper tire pressure, reduce weight, and ride at moderate speeds.
Q4: Is this range estimate accurate for real-world conditions?
A: This is a theoretical maximum. Real-world range is typically 20-30% less due to varying conditions.
Q5: How do I find my e-bike's consumption rate?
A: Many displays show real-time consumption, or you can calculate it by dividing battery capacity by actual range achieved.
