E-bike range calculator ๐Ÿ”‹

Typical e-bikes consume 8โ€“15 Wh/km. The value increases with higher weight, headwind, cold, low tyre pressure or steep inclines โ€“ 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 โ€“ 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.

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

    E-Bike Gewicht: Wie viel wiegt ein E-Bike?

    Ein E-Bike ist spรผrbar schwerer als ein normales Fahrrad โ€“ klar, Motor und Akku mรผssen ja irgendwo hin. Aber wie viel genau kommt da zusammen, und woran liegt das? Wir schlรผsseln auf, wie viel E-Bikes je nach Typ wiegen, welche Bauteile am meisten Gewicht bringen und worauf Du beim Kauf achten solltest, wenn Gewicht fรผr Dich eine Rolle spielt.

    Wie viel wiegt ein E-Bike-Akku?

    Der Akku ist das schwerste Einzelteil an jedem E-Bike โ€“ und trotzdem wissen die wenigsten, wie viele Kilogramm da eigentlich im Rahmen oder auf dem Gepรคcktrรคger stecken. Wer sein Bike tragen, verladen oder einfach nur richtig einschรคtzen mรถchte, sollte das Gewicht des Akkus kennen. Wir zeigen Dir, wovon es abhรคngt und mit welchen Werten Du realistisch rechnen kannst.

  • E-Bike Reichweite im Sommer vs. Winter: Was die Temperatur wirklich bewirkt

    E-Bike Reichweite im Sommer vs. Winter: Was die Temperatur wirklich bewirkt

    Viele E-Bike-Fahrer bemerken, dass ihre Reichweite im Winter deutlich sinkt โ€“ und schlussfolgern, dass Hitze im Sommer gut fรผr den Akku sein mรผsste. Das ist ein verbreiteter Irrtum. Tatsรคchlich schaden Kรคlte und Hitze dem Akku auf fundamental unterschiedliche Weise: Kรคlte schadet der Sofortreichweite, Hitze schadet der Langzeitkapazitรคt. Der Unterschied liegt in der Reversibilitรคt.

Hรคufige Fragen about E-bike range calculator

Die hรคufigsten 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 รท 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 โ€“ 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 โ†’ short city trips, flat terrain
  • 672 Wh โ†’ All-rounder for mixed use
  • 800โ€“950 Wh โ†’ 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 โ€“ 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.
