Just for info.

I know we are all different with different bikes batteries and abilities but I was just interested as how far or how high anyone has gone on a full charge.

My biggest ride so far is 26 miles with a total of 2316ft of ascending, and I still had battery left, that's with the Bosch CX motor and the 500Wh battery.

This year I have some bigger rides with higher climbs planned so I will be interested to see how far this machine goes

... confused. Eddie ??

Don't be. I'm using a phone with a cracked screen, and didn't manage to read the elevation gain correctly upon first viewing. ​

One example. I should add that the battery when changed, was worryingly hot to the touch.

I would advise a second battery if you really want to tackle of ride of either decent length, or elevation gain. Having to conserve the battery, is never a pleasant experience.

That explains a lot.... I am just in the process of changing phones due to a cracked screen and a phone with a mind of its own.

Probably 68Km with 2300m climbing, have been further and climbed higher but not at the same time.
Yamaha Haibike with extender battery.

A couple of weeks ago, I did a ride from fully charged to empty, 26 miles with 3600ft of climbing (378w battery).

Tomorrow is 30 miles with approx 2400 ft of uphill... let see how she does

I have done 44 miles with a mix of trails, rivers, canals and some road, 2114ft climbs .. my body ran out of battery before the bike, still had a few mile left in the battery in tour mode (6) and 20ish when I switched to eco ... Most of the ride was done in tour, little eMTB mode and some eco. Bosch CX with 500kwh battery

"61.54 km, average speed 23.67 km/h, top speed 59.19 km/h, elevation gain 1259 metres (4130ft) max altitude 455 m. For a total of 467 Wh or 7.59 Wh/km. There were a couple of spots over 13% in the hairpins."

Another exceedingly tough one. Ridden in approx 50% sport mode, and 50% tour mode.

Start and finish point. Perfect conditions to begin with.

Neither pleasant or safe.

Yet higher up at the finish point, all was good again. Start point was the valley bottom.

How did it do?

Hi Tom,

well what can I say, did the full 30 miles but the climb was impossible, when I got there, the track was just loose gravel, rocks and the likes. Absolutely no grip whatever I tried, and the back wheel just kept spinning off to the side, with or without boost, slid off three times in 500 yards, so had to abandon the steep climb. I did however continue farther on to the Falls of Tarf, see pic attached and managed 1400 ft of ascent.

On the Sunday I did 25 miles and 2200ft of ascending, and had to climbed 4 large gates.

Just goes to show that all the planning doesn't help when you actually get on the ground.

I have a few more steep climbs to try, but as they are in the Perthshire Hills I will wait for better weather as when you get up there the weather is quite different.
