As with electric cars, range anxiety can be at the back of the mind of e-bike riders. No-one wants to be hauling the extra weight of a flat battery up the last hill before reaching home. There’s plenty you can do to extend your e-bike’s battery range though, however limited it may look on paper.
Clearly, the e-bike battery’s capacity will be a key determinant of your range. There’s a compromise that designers need to make between having abundant range and the additional weight that a larger battery will have. Where they draw that line will depend on the electric bike’s intended use.
