EBIKE RANGE CALCULATOR (UPDATED)
INTRODUCTION
One of the most common questions we get is how to calculate the geographic range of an electric bike. In essence, how far will an ebike go before it runs out of battery power.If you’re in a rush and just want to use the calculator, scroll to the bottom of this page. You just need to input the Voltage (V) and Amp-Hour (Ah) rating of the battery on the ebike you are reviewing, and the average range in miles will be the output.
However, if you want to know what goes into calculating the potential range of an electric bike, keep reading.
Electric Bike (Ebike) Range Calculator (2024 Updated)
Are you looking at ebikes and trying to figure out how far you can go on a single charge? The RGE Electric Bike (Ebike) Range Calculator takes the guessing out of range estimation.

Thought this might help as I see quite a few people asking about range of ebikes.
The calculation is pretty simple to remember:
Battery Volts x Amp Hours = Watt Hours
On average, it's been estimated that the average ebike battery will yield one (1) mile of travel for every 20 Wh of energy.
So if your average speed will be 20 miles per hour you will be using approximately 20 Wh of energy. The more you peddle the less the Wh the ebike has to produce to maintain that speed.
Watt Hours of Battery / Energy Use = Approximate Miles in range.
Example:
48 volts x 20 Ah = 960 Wh
960 Wh / 20 Wh = 48 miles in range approximately.
Approximate range in miles for typical 175-lb rider, using Pedal Assist Level (PAS) 1, on dry, flat, and paved roads, with tires properly inflated and no headwinds. Results may vary.
ADDED:
This is just a quick calculator to get an approximate range if you are looking at a bike to buy.
The numbers the bike dealer gives are generally under best lab conditions and not realistic.
This will give you a more accurate range.
If you dispute the calculations please show your own calculations using the rider in the example:
"Approximate range in miles for typical 175-lb rider, using Pedal Assist Level (PAS) 1, on dry, flat, and paved roads, with tires properly inflated and no headwinds. Results may vary."
Show your work, lol!
