How do people get such long range?

[dgncsk]

i have a city bike with 250w bafang motor and waterbottle shape battery. it is 10.4 ah.
it is current conttrolled and can deliver very low assist power when programmed. i have nexus 7. Me and 2.5 year old kid, spending time and doing very slow trips, when i pedal normally and use only first or second gear with a normal cadance, even there are so many hills to climb around, i usually get 45 to 55 km which is approx 34 miles. if i am alone on trips, this would be 10% more. if it is a flat land, that seems possible to reach 50 miles.

88miles on a journey to and back from on the S/Downs last week. Extra Ah carried in panniers, off road uses far more Wh then road riding.

I'm up to about 200 miles on my new bike now, and I still haven't charged it.

When will you be unloading it from the car?

I think he's doing it the sneaky way, plugging himself in for a full charge of carbs, proteins etc.

There's more than one way to tackle hills, Lance Armstrong got very creative in that direction.

I find that using 64Ah of batteries helps with range a bit.

I never understand quoting battery life in amp hours, depends on the voltage of the battery what that works out to in Wh. But Bosch seem to be the only ones who give watts as the main specification.
