1. What is the Bosch eBike Battery Range Calculator?

The Bosch eBike Battery Range Calculator estimates how far you can travel on a single charge based on your battery capacity and energy consumption rate. This helps eBike riders plan their trips and understand their bike's capabilities.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses a simple formula:

Where:

• \( Battery\ Capacity \) — Total energy storage of your battery in watt-hours (Wh)
• \( Consumption \) — Energy used per kilometer in watt-hours per km (Wh/km)

Explanation: The formula divides your total available energy by the energy used per kilometer to determine how many kilometers you can travel.

3. Importance of Range Calculation

Details: Knowing your eBike's range helps prevent being stranded with a dead battery, allows for better trip planning, and helps understand how different riding conditions affect battery life.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips:

• Find your battery capacity in Wh (usually printed on the battery)
• Typical consumption ranges from 5-20 Wh/km depending on assist level, terrain, and rider weight
• For accurate results, measure your actual consumption over a known distance

5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What's the typical battery capacity for Bosch eBikes?
A: Bosch batteries typically range from 300Wh to 625Wh, with 500Wh being common for mid-range models.

Q2: How does assist level affect consumption?
A: Higher assist levels use more battery power. Eco mode might use 5-8 Wh/km while Turbo can use 15-20 Wh/km.

Q3: What factors affect range besides consumption?
A: Rider weight, terrain, wind, tire pressure, temperature, and battery age all affect actual range.

Q4: Should I fully discharge my battery?
A: No, lithium-ion batteries last longest when kept between 20-80% charge. Avoid complete discharges when possible.

Q5: How can I increase my eBike's range?
A: Use lower assist levels, maintain proper tire pressure, reduce weight, and pedal more actively.
