Kudos Rapide gets 108 miles out of a 10.4 Ah battery.

I just figured out over this weekend that my charger uses just over 20w ontop of what it puts into the battery, so given my charges usually take 2 hours I can take 40wh off the power monitor figures which puts me at 14wh/mile with headwinds and 10wh/mile without so I am in the average range of 12wh/mile.
Back to the original post, did the rider notice any benefit having the motor or was the extra weight more of a disadvantage?

This rider was very fit,he did the journey about the same time using his KTM Carbon sports bike as the Rapide. The flat bits were easier on the KTM ,the hills when the motor was working were easier on the Rapide.
But this wasn't a normal route and it required high speed to lower the power usage.....a normal journey at lower speed with a less fit rider would make the e-bike assist more with a much lower range.

After another short ride today, the total mileage is now up to 68.70 miles with 5,277' of elevation gain. https://www.strava.com/activities/515703240

The power is now dipping into one bar, then periodically back up to two bars.

I'll probably nip out at some stage over the next day or so just to round the mileage up to 75 miles, and or 6,000' of elevation gain then call it a day on that charge.

I consider it quite an impressive figure given that the highest power setting has been used throughout each ride, and some of the climbs have been pretty significant.

The average mph hasn't been so bad either given the bikes gearing and elevation gain. 14.4mph, 8.8mph, 12mph and 14.1 mph. The 8.8mph was when I rode with a pedal bike rider.

The final total distance travelled on one battery charge, using the highest power setting was 74.8 miles with a total elevation gain of 5,796'

Frustratingly not quite the 75 miles that I'd wanted.

Final battery voltage?

I stupidly didn't think to check, but it still hadn't got to the stage of flashing or dropping from the one remaining bar.

In truth the terrain where I live is too hilly for the bike as the gearing stands, but it would have been interesting to have gauged mileage using a mid level assist. Say level three from the six that are available.
