In the evaluation of an e-bike, the motor, and battery play a crucial role as they not only determine the speed but also the range of the electric bike. The range indicates how far the e-bike can take you.

 

Without an e-power, an e-bike can still be propelled by pedaling using your leg muscles. However, this can be more strenuous and put additional strain on your knees. 

While it can be an interesting experience to ride without electric assistance occasionally, in most cases, the range does impose some limitations on e-bike travel.

It is important to note that the data provided by manufacturers may sometimes differ from actual results. The range of an electric bike involves multiple factors, including battery capacity, motor power, riding conditions, environmental factors, and rider habits.

 

Calculating the range of an e-bike involves considering several factors, and here is a common method:

1. First, look for the battery capacity of the e-bike, typically measured in watt-hours (Wh). You can find the battery capacity in the specifications table or details page. 

For example, Frey e-bikes often show battery capacity in V/AH and WH. For instance, Frey EX Pro has a battery capacity of 48V/14AH * 2, which calculates to 48 x 14 = 672WH, resulting in a capacity of 1344WH.

2. Determine the average energy consumption of the electric bike through test rides, usually measured in watt-hours per kilometer (Wh/km).

3. Use the following formula to calculate the range:

Range (km) = Battery Capacity (Wh) / Average Energy Consumption (Wh/km)

It's important to note that this calculation is an estimate, and the actual range may be influenced by other factors such as riding conditions, speed, riding modes, and rider weight. 

Cold or hot weather conditions can increase battery consumption, and the same applies when riding uphill or carrying heavier loads.

The best approach is to conduct real tests to obtain a more accurate range based on your local riding conditions and habits.

 

Additionally, it is important to maintain the battery to ensure the optimal range of your e-bike, especially for those who frequently go mountain biking.
