Battery Range

How far can i travel on my electric bike?
The total distance you can travel on your electric bike is not an easy amount
to specify. The range depends on many different factors including, but not
limited to:
• Total Weight (weight of the bike + rider + cargo)
• Resistance (wind, tire pressure, speed, road conditions and altitude)
• Outside Temperature
• The level of pedal assistance and throttle usage
• The condition of the battery (battery capacity decreases as the battery ages)
Battery Capacity
Batteries are often compared based on capacity (Amp hours (Ah)).
However, a comparison based on capacity alone does not properly depict
a battery since the performance of a battery pack is also based on battery
voltage (V). The best way to compare battery performance is by looking at the
amount of energy that can be used in watt-hours (Wh). Wh take into account
both the capacity of the battery, as well as the average voltage during dis-
charge. Simply put, the higher the V/Ah, the higher Wh range!
Wh calculation ex: 48 V x 13 Ah = 624 Wh
