on the bosch 500, ok it's hilly but should I get more?

I get this from my 8.8Ah/36V (316Wh) possibly in similar terrain on the hilly Welsh borders.

My husband, using the same bike on the same route gets less - about 18 miles at best, but I am 52kg and he is 90kg so this clearly makes a difference. Extrapolating very roughly and very approximately.... he would get about 36-40 miles from a bike with two batteries (632wh) which seems on a par to the mileage you're getting from your bike if you're a similar weight.

It sounds possibly low but there are so many factors to consider - body weight, terrain, head/tail winds, load carried - and probably even temperature.

i have a dongle but i get between 25-30 miles but you have to remember under 15mph the motor can pull 700w so riding lots of hills will reduce range.

also depends how fit you are as well mind i think eddie said on his last trip riding up a mountain drained one in 10 miles.

Low tyre pressure is a real range killer too.

Seems like I can't complain then. I'm 68 and 13.5 stone.

You should try pedaling from time to time

Cheekiness aside I tried using my bike on full assist and minimal effort a couple of times and got about that from a 10.4 Ah battery. Where I live it is hilly, windy and I weigh about 78 kg.

Are you in the right gear? Is it windy? We would have to be there riding with you to know where the Watts are going.

I'm 67 and 105kgs and 30ish miles is all I get in hilly terrain putting in moderate effort.I am a lifelong cyclist albeit not very fit nowadays. my system is 468Wh (13Ah x 36v) and it shows you how much watts you are using, and when you are using 600 watts you can work out it is not going to last too long. about 45 mins probably.

25 to 30 miles sounds just fine to me, 5,000 feet of climbing?

I'm going to say roughly 4,300 feet of climbing over non muddy/grassy off road use.
