August 18, 20169 yr I was wondering how others who have this bike are finding their mileage? I did 37km (23 miles) this morning at level 1 and the battery was indicating 32km (20 miles) remaining in level 1 eco mode. That would indicate potentially 69km (43 miles) on a charge. Ebco state a range of 30 to 45 miles. Considering I'm 100kg and with a tool kit and spares to carry, the mileage I'm getting seems to be in line with that range. Anyone else find find their mileage as expected?
August 18, 20169 yr Range is dependent on many factors. How hard you pedal, your weight, where you ride (hills) and how fast you go all effect it significantly, so whatever range you get is specific to you, and what anybody else gets has little bearing on the matter. Anecdotally, based on all the information from this forum, you could say that an average rider of electric bikes (think about weight, age and fitness) over average terrain and in average conditions at average speed (12mph?) gets something like 30 miles per 10 amp-hours of 36v battery. On my bike, I have a regular 52 mile ride that I do. One time I completed it using the battery at a rate of about 5Wh per mile. Another time I used 15Wh per mile for the same journey. One time, I did the same journey on the same bike without switching the power on. The only difference was my motivation to put in some effort and the speed I went. One other point. Never extrapolate your range based on the proportion of battery you've used. The only way you really know what it is is to run the battery right down until it cuts off. Then you know whether you can trust the meter. The battery becomes less powerful as it goes down, so you use it up more quickly the further you go. Also, the voltage starts to accelerate downwards when it approaches empty. Many meters or predictions don't take that into consideration.
August 19, 20169 yr I spoke to someone who has ebco gets about 30miles , but slightly hilly off road terrain , does app 4x7mile comutes before recharge. I myself have 13ah 250w kit bike can do about 14miles on power 1 or 2 of 5 before battery level drops to 3 bars have done 45-48miles pootling about on the flat. did a hilly local route 7 miles in total estimate about 3 miles 12-1`4mph level 4 battery level dropped 1 bar . my cd kit bike did 47miles ,meter showed one narrow bar, there seemed to be no assistance using pas, but there was power using the throttle, so battery could not have been completely dead, bit of a mystery?
