As there are so many variables that determine the range, it is not always straightforward to answer the question “How much range will I get”?. However, it is possible to define your range in hours as this just depends on your battery capacity.
The physics behind eBike range
A 250W motor at 36V draws about 7A of current. That means that in one hour it will use 7 amp-hours (Ah) of charge. So a 7Ah battery will last one hour. Similarly, if you use it at half power (3.5A), it will last you for 2 hours.
“A 250W motor draws about 7A of current at max power, so a 7Ah battery will last you 1 hour.”
We have put together the table below to give you an indicative range in hours for the different Power Packs, at different power levels.
| Battery Capacity | Full power range (250W) | Medium power range (120W) | Low power range (50W) |
| 2.6Ah (AIR) | 23 mins | 45 mins | 1 hour 50 mins |
| 5Ah (MAX) | 43 mins | 1 hour 30 mins | 3 hours 30 mins |
Other considerations
- Weather: The temperature affects how much distance you get out of your Power Pack. In cold climates, you will find you get less range.
- Terrain: Going up hills uses a lot more energy. So adding hills to your ride makes a big difference.
