E-Bike Range Calculator by TheCalcTools

How the E-Bike Range Calculator works

Battery energy in watt-hours = voltage × amp-hours. Range = usable energy ÷ consumption per km.

Consumption depends mostly on how much the motor helps, hills, wind, speed and weight. The presets are typical planning figures; heavier riders use more (scaled here by the square root of weight relative to 80 kg).

The formula

Range = V × Ah × usable share ÷ Wh per km

Worked example

Using the default values shown in the calculator:

Battery voltage (V)36
Battery capacity (Ah)14
Usable share of the battery90 %
Assist level and terrainMedium assist, rolling (10 Wh/km)
Rider and cargo weight80
  1. 36 V × 14 Ah × 90% = 454 Wh usable.
  2. At 10 Wh/km: 45 km.

Result:

Estimated range (km)45
Range (miles)28
Usable energy (Wh)454
Consumption (Wh per km)10.0

Frequently asked questions

How can I get more range?

Use lower assist, keep tyres pumped up, pedal at a steady cadence and avoid full throttle.
