How far will my e-MTB go? What’s the battery range?

E-bike range depends on several factors. Battery size, motor efficiency, rider weight, terrain, and even temperature can affect how far your e-MTB will go on one battery charge. Basically, the harder the motor has to work, the more battery power it will use. The more power it uses, the faster the battery runs out. That’s why larger riders tend to get less range than smaller riders, and why a ride on hilly terrain with a lot of sustained climbing will deplete the battery faster than a flatter ride with less climbing.
