I have noticed that when uploading rides to Strava from other sources that it ignores the stated distance/elevations and recalculates them itself based on the route information. I have also compared my Iphone running Cyclemeter with my Garmin and the results are virtually identical.
Best Ebike mileage.....on ONE battery charge
- Thread starter martin@onbike
- Start date
My best mileage on my Rose/Bosch is, if I recall, about 45 miles over an average route using mostly tour.
I tried eco on a flatter route and reached 32 miles with two bars extinguished on the battery meter.
As a rough guide, that suggests 60+ miles would be possible using eco all the way.
I can't decide on eco as a riding prospect, it probably is too weak in all but easy conditions.
Tour is much better, I can ride all day on that setting.

The furthest I have ridden on one charge is 101.2 miles but I still had over 10Ah left at the end.
It helps to have 48Ah of battery and a BBS02 which is pretty economical anyway.
Once summer arrives I intend to do a 150 mile ride over 2 days,hopefully on one charge.
Top bag holds 6 x 16Ah Multistars so 48Ah at 44.4V nominal.
For local rides I just put one pair in the triangle bag and have now bought an MTB rucksack so for medium rides I have a pair in the triangle bag and a pair in the rucksack.

I managed 176 miles from Southend to Telford without recharging my 10.6 Ah battery. When I arrived in Telford, my legs weren't even tired.
I have to be honest, though, my arm ached a bit after lifting the bike off the rack on the back of my car.

It is not cheating as d8veh has a 250w label cunningly placed on his rear bumper
70 miles is my best (so far) on my bosch powered Cube.
On a good day when I'm thinking about exploreing I tend to ride on low or no power, as the hills get steeper my gears get lower. It's only when I'm in the lower gears the power goes on. There quite a few hills where I'm in first gear and by the time I'm reaching the summit I'm using turbo
but the power comes off as soon as it comfortable.
My general rule for distance is gear down before powering up.
On the other hand, on a trail ride I'll start on level one & work up from there

Eco is a bit of an odd one. I find it next to useless if out on my own riding, but it suddenly becomes a viable option for when out riding with anyone who is on a pedal only bike.
I also find that tour is pretty much an ideal setting for pretty much everything. At the end of a ride and if I'm feeling lazy, I'll up the setting beyond this, but on the terrain that I ride, it isn't really required.
The Eco setting on the Haibike is very different to the Delite.
I can & do ride without power more and therefore get a larger range but the Delite is much more comfortable, I just need to use tour for the same assist level.
Both bikes have the performance motor.

Afraid my best is a lowly 28 miles ( Haibike sduro 27.5/ 400wh)(All in high setting)
It did include 4 big climbs around Sheffield Reservoirs ( one a dead end), lots of boulder strewn paths and one long slog through rutted peat bog...so I was very impressed it stayed course.( Had a bit left in battery at end but not so much in legs)
Putting ride in perspective , imagine Winnats pass on single track for 2 of climbs.
Perhaps we should add a caveat to original question.How much further did you get because of the battery energy you used..
Well I couldn't have done 2 of climbs on route ( they,d have been walked ??) So battery made it possible to do ride or cut time to a third .( Route would take me 6 hrs plus on none e bike rather than the 2 hrs 14 mins ????)
Best view on that ride.

28 miles with 2/5 battery bars remaining. (taking a reading whilst cycling with moderate assist)
standard batribike 10.6Ah battery. using assist 3/4 most of the way with a few miles on throttle, just to try it out haha

I have recently purchased a Haibike Trekking with a 400wh system. When I first got the bike, the claim of a 105 mile range in eco plus more seemed a bit of a strech. I have not attemped it to see if it attainable. However, I am getting 60 miles or better in eco and standard modes commuting. I weigh over 20 stone and it is a hilly route. That 60 miles represents 4 return trips.
One of the things I am learning about this system is that by keeping my pedaling cadence up around 70 to 80 rpm, it is helping my range. It also minimizes that "pedaling in a field of mud" feeling when you go over 15.5mph. I am overall very pleased with the bike as it is also a pleasure to ride.
Today, I find that most mainstream manufactures' milage claims are very attainable, under the right conditions. It will only get better as technology improves. Safe journeys all

Update: did a 31 miles run, mostly on assist 3, pedalling with reasonable effort, 3/5 bars remaining

I used 8% of my battery this morning covering 7 miles. That gives me a theoretical range of about 87 miles. I did have a very nice tail wind thought and was above 15.5mph quite a bit. That is on a Haibike, Sduro Trekking. Going home will be another story
