Understanding Electric Cycle Mileage: Range Factors Explained

What Affects Your E-Bike's Range?

One of the most common questions we get is, "What is the mileage of this electric cycle?" The answer isn't always simple. Mileage, or range, depends on several variables.

Key Factors Influencing Mileage

1. Battery Capacity

The size of your battery (measured in Watt-Hours) is the fuel tank of your e-bike. A larger battery generally equals more range.

2. Terrain

Riding on flat city streets consumes far less power than climbing hills. If you live in a hilly area, expect a lower range compared to flat terrain riding.

3. Rider Weight and Cargo

The motor works harder to move more weight. Heavier riders or carrying heavy loads will drain the battery faster.

4. Riding Mode

Using full-throttle mode consumes the most power. Pedal-assist modes, especially lower levels like Eco, extend your range significantly.

Tips to Maximize Mileage

• Pedal More: Use lower assist levels and pedal along with the motor.
• Keep Tires Inflated: Proper tire pressure reduces rolling resistance.
• Maintain Momentum: Stop-and-go traffic kills battery life. Try to maintain a steady speed.
