1. What is Ebike Range?

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

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the simple range equation:

Where:

• \( battery\_Wh \) — Battery capacity in watt-hours (Wh)
• \( consumption\_Wh\_per\_km \) — Energy consumption in watt-hours per kilometer (Wh/km)

Explanation: The equation divides the total available energy by the energy used per kilometer to determine total distance.

3. Importance of Range Calculation

Details: Knowing your ebike's range helps plan trips, avoid running out of battery, and compare different ebike models or battery configurations.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter battery capacity in Wh (often listed on the battery) and your typical energy consumption in Wh/km (can be found in your ebike's display or manual).

5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What's a typical ebike battery capacity?
A: Most ebike batteries range from 300Wh to 700Wh, with high-end models reaching 1000Wh 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 improve my ebike's range?
A: Use lower assist levels, maintain proper tire pressure, reduce speed, and avoid frequent stops/starts.

Q4: Is this calculation accurate for all situations?
A: This provides an estimate. Real-world range may vary by 20-30% due to riding conditions and style.

Q5: How do I find my ebike's Wh/km consumption?
A: Many ebike displays show real-time consumption. Alternatively, divide battery capacity by your typical range.
