Hi everyone,
Some basic stats:
Riding Trek PowerFly 5 Speed (28mph version with Bosch PowerPack 500) daily from home to work and back.
It is only 7.5 miles one way.
I am not heavy, 155 pounds to be exact.
Only carrying a small back on my rear rack with a lunch box.
Only using TOUR (flat road) and SPORT (uphills only) modes for assist (never TURBO).
There is a hill in the middle I have to cross, 1100 feet elevation gain riding out and 500 vertical feet coming back.
Riding on smooth pavement the whole time.
No stopping and taking off.

The battery charge drops close to empty just after three rides, that is only 22 miles.
Seems to fast to me.
Does that sound pretty normal? Anything wrong with my riding style?
I was really hoping that Bosch's most powerful battery would give me longer riding range.
I appreciate sharing your experience when riding in similar conditions.
