1. What is the Bosch Ebike Distance Calculator?

Definition: This calculator estimates the range of a Bosch electric bike based on battery capacity and energy consumption rate.

Purpose: It helps cyclists plan their rides by predicting how far they can travel on a single battery charge.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the formula:

Where:

• \( D \) — Estimated range (kilometers)
• \( BatteryWh \) — Battery capacity (watt-hours)
• \( WhPerKm \) — Energy consumption (watt-hours per kilometer)

Explanation: The battery capacity is divided by the energy consumption rate to determine how many kilometers the ebike can travel.

3. Importance of Range Calculation

Details: Accurate range estimation prevents being stranded with a dead battery and helps plan charging stops for longer rides.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter the battery capacity in watt-hours (Wh) and energy consumption rate (default 10 Wh/km). All values must be > 0.

5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: Where can I find my battery's Wh rating?
A: Check the battery label or specifications. It's often calculated as voltage (V) × ampere-hours (Ah).

Q2: What's a typical Wh/km for Bosch ebikes?
A: Most Bosch systems consume 8-15 Wh/km depending on assist level, terrain, rider weight, and conditions.

Q3: How accurate is this estimate?
A: It's a theoretical maximum. Real-world range may be 10-30% less due to hills, wind, stops/starts, etc.

Q4: Can I use this for non-Bosch ebikes?
A: Yes, the calculation works for any electric bike if you know the battery capacity and consumption rate.

Q5: How can I improve my ebike's range?
A: Use lower assist levels, maintain proper tire pressure, reduce weight, and ride at steady speeds.
