How far can you go on a single battery charge?

One of the most common questions about e-bikes is: how far can you go on a single battery charge? The range depends on many factors, including your riding style and the conditions you ride in. In some cases, a single battery may cover around 40 km, while under optimal conditions, the same battery can take you up to 140 km.

The battery stores the electrical energy that powers the motor. The amount of energy it can hold is called capacity. The higher the battery capacity, the farther you can ride with motor assistance. Battery capacity is the main factor affecting the distance you can travel on a single charge. At ECONO, you can choose from batteries with capacities ranging from 520 Wh up to 800 Wh. 


Other factors that affect range include:


Level of pedal assistance
Rider weight
Terrain
Air resistance
Air resistance
Road surface
Frequent accelerations
Riding speed
Tire pressure
Bike type and weight
Outside temperature
Battery state of health
Battery condition
Cadence

 Til 175 km in optimal conditions

 Til 45 km in difficult conditions


 - COMTRON ELK 700Wh (20Ah)

 Til 235 km in optimal conditions

 Til 60 km in difficult conditions


 - COMTRON ELK 800Wh (22.3Ah)

 Til 269 km in optimal conditions

 About 69 km in difficult conditions


Range according to the selection of the level of assistance on the motor

The range of the Econo system is largely dependent on the level of motor assistance. There are five different driving modes to choose from, each of which is described below. The graphic shows their effect on range in  favorable conditions and  hard conditions.

 About 34 km in difficult conditions


The actual range of an econo e-bike depends on many factors and can vary significantly from rider to rider. riding style, level of assistance, terrain, rider weight, weather conditions, tire pressure, and bike setup all play an important role in how many kilometers you can ride on a single charge.

for this reason, every user has their own unique range. the values shown on this page are symbolic and intended for general orientation only, as real-world usage conditions always influence the final range.
