Range
Most of the times it happens that you buy an electric bike based on the range it provides, but end up having a bike which has a range far too less than what is said or promised. In such situation, you cannot blame the shop keeper, because he will put the blame on the manufacturer, saying it has not happened before and you are first one with such problem. Believe us, you are not the first! In electric bike industry, sometimes, it is the game. So, it is very important to have a little bit of knowledge regarding the range of your electric bike.
Range, provided by an electric bike, is the maximum distance travelled by the bike in a single charge. So if your manufacturer says that the bike has a range of 10 miles or so, then your bike should travel 10 miles in a single charge. While buying an E-bike, range should be your key consideration. Generally, range depends on various factors like, motor efficiency, battery capacity, efficiency of driving electronics, aerodynamics, weight of the bike and the rider etc.
Most of the times, an e-bike comes with a range starting from 7 Km to 70 Km. It will give you maximum range if you provide your bike with pedal assist while riding. This exercise increases the range drastically. And one more thing, never forget to ask your vendor, whether the bike was tested on flat road or in a hilly region. Depending on the testing conditions, decide what range you are looking for. And accordingly make a right choice.
