1. What is the Bosch eBike Range Calculation?

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

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the simple range equation:

Where:

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

Explanation: The equation divides the total energy available (capacity) by the energy used per distance (consumption) to estimate range.

3. Importance of Range Calculation

Details: Accurate range estimation helps eBike riders plan their trips, avoid running out of battery, and understand how different conditions affect their bike's performance.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter battery capacity in Wh (typically 300-625Wh for Bosch batteries) and consumption in Wh/km (typically 5-20 Wh/km depending on assist level and terrain). All values must be positive numbers.

5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What affects my eBike's range?
A: Range is affected by battery capacity, assist level, rider weight, terrain, tire pressure, temperature, and wind conditions.

Q2: How can I improve my eBike's range?
A: Use lower assist levels, maintain proper tire pressure, reduce weight, and pedal more actively.

Q3: What's a typical consumption rate?
A: Consumption typically ranges from 5 Wh/km (eco mode) to 20 Wh/km (turbo mode) or more in difficult conditions.

Q4: How accurate is this calculation?
A: This provides a theoretical maximum range. Actual range will vary based on riding conditions and style.

Q5: Where can I find my battery's capacity?
A: Capacity is usually printed on the battery (e.g., "500Wh"). Common Bosch capacities are 400Wh, 500Wh, and 625Wh.
