E-bike range calculator 🔋

Typical e-bikes consume 8–15 Wh/km. The value increases with higher weight, headwind, cold, low tyre pressure or steep inclines – and decreases at a calm pace on flat terrain.

How far can I go with my e-bike?

E-bike battery

Many e-bike riders ask themselves this question – especially before longer tours or their daily commute . With MYVELO's free range calculator, you can quickly find out how many kilometers you can travel on one battery charge.

Whether you ride a MYVELO e-bike with a Bosch , Shimano , or Bafang motor , simply enter your battery capacity in watt-hours (e.g., 504 Wh, 672 Wh, 800 Wh, or 950 Wh) and estimate your average energy consumption per kilometer. The calculator will show you your estimated range in just a few seconds.

Of course, the actual range depends on many factors: rider weight, assistance level, terrain profile, wind, and temperature. But our tool gives you a good orientation and is the perfect starting point for your planning.

✅ Try it now and get more out of your e-bike!

    Cycling with headphones: Forbidden or allowed?

    Are you allowed to wear headphones while cycling? The answer isn't as simple as many think. What the German Road Traffic Regulations (StVO) actually say, when you could be partially at fault in an accident – and which headphones are the safer choice for road use.

    E-bikes for people with osteoarthritis: Why cycling is easy on the joints

    Around 5 million people in Germany suffer from osteoarthritis – and many of them believe that this means they can't do any sport. Running hurts, climbing stairs is agony, and intensive sports are completely out of the question. But most people overlook a form of exercise that orthopedists have been recommending for years: cycling. And with e-bikes, it's even more accessible.

    Cycling infrastructure worldwide: rules, rights and cycle paths in international comparison

    Do you dream of cycling through the flat polders of the Netherlands, crossing Copenhagen's bicycle bridges, or exploring the Australian coast on your e-bike? Then you should know beforehand: cycling isn't the same everywhere. Every country has its own infrastructure, its own laws – and sometimes even its own unique cycling culture. In this article, we'll take you on a tour around the globe and show you what to expect – including the most important rules for e-bikes and pedelecs.

Häufige Fragen about E-bike range calculator

Die häufigsten Fragen und Antworten

The range of an e-bike is essentially determined by the Battery capacity (in watt-hours, Wh) and the Energy consumption per kilometer (Wh/km)The formula is:

Range = Battery capacity / Consumption per kilometer

For example: If your battery has 672Wh and you consume an average of 12Wh per kilometer, this results in a range of approximately 56 kilometers (672 ÷ 12 = 56).

However, this is only an approximate value. Actual consumption depends on many factors, such as:

  • Your weight including luggage
  • the support level (Eco, Tour, Sport, Turbo)
  • the route profile (flat or hilly)
  • Wind, temperature and air pressure
  • the rolling resistance of the tires and tire pressure

The displayed range is a theoretical guidelineIn practice, this often happens. Deviations, because the calculation cannot accurately reflect many real-world influences. The following factors play a significant role:

  • Frequent starting and stop-and-go driving increases fuel consumption.
  • Cold temperatures significantly reduce the battery's performance.
  • Energy requirements are higher in hilly or mountainous terrain.
  • Driving continuously in the highest power setting significantly reduces the range.
  • Soft tires or a poorly oiled chain lead to energy loss.

Our tip: Start with a conservative estimate (e.g., 15 Wh/km for average use) and monitor your actual consumption over several trips. This will give you a better feel for your personal consumption profile.

If you frequently drive long distances or travel in hilly terrain, a larger battery is worthwhile – for example 800 or 950WhFor city traffic and short commutes, one is often sufficient. 504 or 672Wh battery.

As a rule of thumb:

  • 504 Wh → short city trips, flat terrain
  • 672 Wh → All-rounder for mixed use
  • 800–950 Wh → long tours, mountains, heavy riders or high support levels

The MYVELO range calculator helps you to better estimate, Which battery size? suits you and how far you get in everyday lifeThis way you can make more conscious decisions – and get the most out of your e-bike.

The range of an e-bike depends on far more than just battery capacity. Even if two batteries store the same amount of energy on paper, factors such as riding style, rider weight, terrain, inclines, and even temperature can significantly impact the actual range. A sporty rider who frequently uses the highest assistance level will get considerably fewer kilometers out of their battery than someone who rides relaxed with lower assistance. Luggage or a trailer also increases energy consumption.

Furthermore, the quality of the battery and motor plays a role. An older battery loses capacity over time, and motor controllers vary in efficiency. Even tire pressure affects how much energy is needed for propulsion. Our range calculator attempts to take all these factors into account as best as possible by incorporating average values and typical driving situations. The calculations therefore provide a realistic estimate, but not an exact guarantee. For particularly long trips, it is advisable to plan in some extra range.
