What is the range of my Bosch eBike Battery?
Bosch eBike Battery range depends on a number of factors. Some of these factors include the following:
- The capacity of the battery. For example 400 versus 500 versus 625Wh.
Bosch’s 625Wh PowerTube is the industry standard for battery life versus size.
- Which model of Bosch motor your bike is equipped with. For example an Active Line Plus versus a Performance Line motor.
- The weight and fitness of the rider. A lighter and fitter rider will use less battery.
- How steep the terrain is. Steeper terrain will drain your battery faster.
To estimate your battery range more accurately Bosch and Moustache have developed a battery range estimator.
Here are some general tips regarding the Bosch eBike Battery’s range:
- Battery range is effected by environmental conditions such as a very windy day. In windy conditions the motor works harder to propel you forwards.
- Additional electrical devices connected to the battery use more battery, for example front and rear lights.
- For mountain bikes with Magic Tour (Tour+) and eMTB mode, estimating the range on this mode is difficult due to its progressive assistance. On average eMTB mode is closest to Sport mode.
- Looking after your battery will ensure its range for a long period of time. You can find more information on caring for your battery here.
