What affects e-bike range

Battery size (Wh) is the primary factor, but terrain, rider weight, and assist level dramatically affect real-world range. A 500Wh battery delivers 25–60 miles depending on these factors — a 2.4× swing.

Extending range

  • Use Eco mode for flat sections, only boost uphill
  • Keep tires at max pressure (saves 10–15% range)
  • Pedal smoothly — cadence over 70 RPM is more efficient
