It was a guess . But, I do ride in the 5th level quite a bit.

I have a very flat 16-mile commute each way. I have the 16ah 48V battery and a Biktrix Juggernaut Ultra full suspension fat tire bike with the crank gear upgraded from a 44 tooth to a 58 tooth sprocket.
I ride mostly on assist level 4 or 5 and I go fast. Like I average about 20mph and generally hit 30mph at least once during my commute. In the mornings (setting off at 100%) I arrive at work with about 20% charge remaining according to the display. In the evenings (I charge at work so setting off again at 100%) I make it home with about 35% left. The crank gear upgrade definitely sucks more power from the battery (~10% to 15% more). With the OE 44 tooth crank gear, I think I was able to make it home with about 45% remaining. I was never brave enough to try the round trip without charging though.
One evening I forgot to charge my bike, and I left for work in the morning with only 22% charge. I used assist level 1 & 2 and I was able to make it all the way to work (16 miles) with 2% or 3% left. I think with a very moderate assist like 2 or 3 you can easily do 25 - 35 miles and likely even 40+ if you really push it.

Thanks for all the feedback guys, I have a ultra bike coming soon and once I get some ride time in at my slower speed and lower assist levels will update on how I’m doing mileage wise just to compare
Will be interesting
As a general rule I do not get as good of mileage on torque sensing bikes as my cadence bikes - the exception being my Yamaha haibike that gets great mileage- anyway a little concerned about battery mileage on this new bike but we will see

Battery life is highly variable with the Ultra motor.
If you keep it on ECO 1 or 2 it will have great range.
If you use SPORT mode level 5, and ride like a maniac it will suck the battery quickly, as few as 10 miles range.
Optimal range is all about power levels and energy management.

Hi Vincent, what bike do you have?

I checked mine yesterday, it looks like I can get about 125 kilos riding in PAS 1 on level ground riding in the bike lane on secondary highways.
I'm not one to really keep track of my mileage and now with charging to only 80% most of the time it's difficult as I have a few bikes and switch what I'm riding nearly every day. I see you on the Watt Wagon forum is that what you have coming?

Actually pushkar and Ravi put together kind of a prototype full suspension similar to the wattwagon for me
I do not want it for commuting so had some different stuff put on it
Hope to get it in a couple of weeks and I will post on my riding/usual pas levels and battery mileage, will be interesting
