Had the bike for about 10 days now, the maximum trip distance I have ridden is 35 miles with about 3,500 feet of climbing.

The battery still had two of the battery power bars ( out of five ) lit up.

Really pleased with the range, much better than I thought.
My main usage is in Eco for about 85% of the ride, with only tour being used for some steeper climbs.
I was really impressed with the Bosch motor on my Cube... and that was with the 400Wh battery, whereas I presume you have the 500Wh.

I'm not sure all motors are made equal; I felt my demo rides on the Levo (Brose motor) consumed more battery than the Bosch. That's anecdotal at best given the differing pre-configured assist levels, the differing assist levels likely used on my rides, etc. but it's something I'm intrigued about once my Levo arrives.

I can't imagine the Bosch CX with 500Wh battery ever being a disappointment though.

It's a 400w battery, with the Bosch performance motor.

I am reasonably fit though, but not outstanding in climbing, which is where I need a little boost really.
