Distance Formula:
From: | To: |
Definition: This calculator estimates the range of an electric bike based on battery capacity and power consumption.
Purpose: It helps e-bike riders and manufacturers determine how far an e-bike can travel on a single charge.
The calculator uses the formula:
Where:
Explanation: The battery capacity is divided by the power consumption to estimate the maximum range.
Details: Accurate range estimation helps riders plan trips, compare e-bike models, and understand battery requirements.
Tips: Enter the battery capacity in watt-hours and power consumption (default 10 Wh/km). All values must be > 0.
Q1: Where can I find my battery's watt-hour rating?
A: Multiply battery voltage (V) by amp-hour (Ah) rating, or check manufacturer specifications.
Q2: What's a typical power consumption for e-bikes?
A: Most e-bikes consume 8-15 Wh/km depending on assist level, terrain, and rider weight.
Q3: Does this include real-world conditions?
A: This is theoretical maximum. Actual range may be 10-30% less due to hills, wind, etc.
Q4: How can I improve my e-bike's range?
A: Use lower assist levels, maintain proper tire pressure, and reduce weight.
Q5: Does this work for other electric vehicles?
A: Yes, the same formula applies to scooters and other EVs, though consumption values differ.
