Distance Formula:
From: | To: |
Definition: This calculator estimates the distance an e-bike can travel based on its average speed and the time traveled.
Purpose: It helps e-bike riders plan long-distance trips by calculating how far they can go at their current speed.
The calculator uses the formula:
Where:
Explanation: The speed is multiplied by time to get the total distance traveled.
Details: Proper distance estimation helps e-bike riders plan routes, estimate battery life, and ensure they can reach their destinations.
Tips: Enter your average e-bike speed in mph and the time you plan to ride in hours. All values must be > 0.
Q1: What's a typical e-bike speed?
A: Most e-bikes average 15-20 mph, but this depends on motor power, terrain, and local speed regulations.
Q2: Does this account for battery life?
A: No, this calculates theoretical distance. Actual range depends on battery capacity, assist level, and terrain.
Q3: How accurate is this for long distances?
A: It provides a baseline estimate. For long trips, factor in rest stops, charging time, and terrain changes.
Q4: Can I use this for multiple legs of a trip?
A: Yes, calculate each segment separately then sum the distances.
Q5: What about elevation changes?
A: This assumes flat terrain. For hilly areas, reduce your average speed estimate accordingly.
