Bosch power tube 625w only show 26 miles fully charged is that correct? And only 11 miles on 3 bars of charge

My boss 625 W fully charged only shows 26 miles range on turbo and with three bars it only shows 11 miles is that correct

Range depends on your weight, the terrain, and even the wind. Bosch's predicted range is estimated on the last couple of miles of actual riding. I find it a bit conservative, but actually pretty close. On an older 400 pack, I can only get a bit over 8 miles of intermediate single trail riding with lots of steep climbs and set on Turbo the entire time. But I'm wasted after that distance there anyway.

On a single 400w pack on my Active Line + (20 mph) it shows/gets ~25 miles on Turbo. On another bike with a Gen 4 speed (28 mph) that has 1125w (625 + 500), and it shows ~55 miles on Turbo.

range depends on a lot of thigns speed and hills and How much power you put out and the assist level. when I first started I coud not put much effort into riding and on my commute I got maybe 22 miles on turbo and putting out a little less then 100 watts. today I was a bit tired and I only averaged 140 watts but after my 8.5 mile commute in our and a little eco. I show I had 20 miles left. so how many watts you put out changes the range too.

I’d like to see you test this, assuming you have another battery or a ride home. What bike is it on and what controller is giving you that info? I’ve had a 625 on order for over 7 months so I’m expecting better than that. That said, I’ll never ride 26 miles on Turbo mode. Did 30+ miles the other day (Off/Eco/Touring) with my PowerTube 500 and finished with probably 70+% left.

Who rides the whole time on turbo? Slow down and enjoy your rides. They're not time trials, are they?

I don't ride like they are trials, but I do love the speed. I ride a hard 45 minutes everyday, buy certainly not in Turbo around the city. Trying to fight back Father Time and that evil &itch dementia that stole and killed my Mother. Some of us are out for fitness.

Speed is a personal thing but is less important to me than distance and time. I certainly am out for fitness but it’s relative. I’d rather go a longer period of time at a good hard effort than a shorter period at a frenetic pace.

I( used to so I could go 20mph when I was so sick. but now I almost never use it I don't like the feel unless I am climbing really steep hills. I did try it to see if I could keep a 27mph pace.

I often ride mainly in Turbo on my daily exercise rides. I get the same amount of workout by going 25 mph plus. The main benefit is I get to go further distances and explore new routes without taking longer then I have to spend before starting work. Touring and Eco is mainly for when my wife is on a ride with me. Her bike is a 20 mph Bosch, so I have to go slower.

I never found too many places I could keep that pace. for some reason it feels like more work. with bosch you can get the same workout at 5 different speeds.

It’s and cube hybrid exc and a pruion controller

I’d be interested in seeing a real-world test of this to compare your readout vs actual range. I‘m also interested in how the motor (which one?) would do in 26 miles of only-Turbo mode in hot weather.
You’re working with a 15 mph speed limiter in the UK, right?
