RANGE
of
a
pedal
assisted
cycle
The Range of an e-bike is dependent on several factors. The electric motor will absorb
more power with increased weight and when climbing hills, riding against the wind,
stopping and starting repeatedly and changing gear, thereby reducing the distances
that can be traveled.
A light rider could travel 50 - 60 miles over flat terrain, if using a low level of assist.
However a heavier rider traveling up a 7% grade in race mode may only have a 15 mile
range.
It is
important to note that the motor works at peak efficiency and will consume less
battery power for the same torque output when the rider pedals with a
smooth and
consistent cadence of 70 - 80 rpm. By optimizing pedaling and gear position, a
skilled rider can learn to optimize range
Instantaneous power consumption is shown as a bar graph at the bottom of the
