1. What is the Bosch eBike Range Calculator?

The Bosch eBike Range Calculator estimates how far your electric bike can travel on a single battery charge based on battery capacity and energy consumption rate.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the simple formula:

Where:

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

Explanation: The formula divides the total energy available in the battery by the energy used per kilometer to determine total range.

3. Importance of Range Calculation

Details: Accurate range estimation helps eBike users plan their trips, understand battery requirements, and compare different eBike models.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter battery capacity in Wh (typically 300-625Wh for Bosch systems) and consumption rate in Wh/km (typically 5-15 Wh/km depending on conditions). All values must be positive numbers.

5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What affects eBike range most?
A: Range is most affected by battery capacity, rider weight, terrain, assist level, and weather conditions.

Q2: What's a typical Bosch battery capacity?
A: Bosch offers batteries from 300Wh to 625Wh, with 500Wh being common for mid-range models.

Q3: How can I improve my eBike's range?
A: Use lower assist levels, maintain proper tire pressure, reduce cargo weight, and pedal more actively.

Q4: Is this calculation accurate for all conditions?
A: This provides a theoretical maximum. Real-world range will vary based on riding conditions and style.

Q5: Where can I find my eBike's consumption rate?
A: Check your bike's display (if equipped) during rides, or consult manufacturer specifications for typical values.
