1. What is the Bosch eBike Distance Calculator?

The Bosch eBike Distance Calculator estimates how far you can travel on a single charge based on your battery capacity and energy consumption rate. This helps eBike users plan their routes and understand their bike's range.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses a simple formula:

Where:

• \( Capacity \) — Battery capacity in Watt-hours (Wh)
• \( Consumption \) — Energy consumption rate in Watt-hours per kilometer (Wh/km)

Explanation: The formula divides your total battery capacity by how much energy your eBike uses per kilometer to determine your maximum range.

3. Importance of Distance 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 your range.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter your battery's capacity in Wh (found in specifications) and your typical consumption rate in Wh/km (varies based on assist level, terrain, and rider weight). All values must be positive numbers.

5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: Where can I find my battery capacity?
A: Check your battery specifications or manufacturer documentation. Common Bosch capacities are 400Wh, 500Wh, and 625Wh.

Q2: How do I determine my consumption rate?
A: Many Bosch displays show current consumption. Alternatively, divide battery capacity by actual distance traveled on a full charge.

Q3: What factors affect consumption rate?
A: Assist level, terrain, rider weight, tire pressure, wind conditions, and temperature all impact energy consumption.

Q4: Is this calculation accurate for all conditions?
A: This provides an estimate. Actual range may vary based on riding conditions and battery age/health.

Q5: Should I leave some battery reserve?
A: Yes, it's recommended to plan for 10-20% less than the calculated maximum to account for variables and preserve battery health.
