1. What is the Bosch eBike Range Calculator?

The Bosch eBike Range Calculator estimates how far you can travel on a single battery charge based on your battery capacity, assist level, and terrain conditions. It helps eBike riders plan their trips and manage battery usage.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the Bosch range equation:

Where:

• \( battery\_wh \) — Battery capacity in watt-hours (Wh)
• \( assist\_level \) — Energy consumption per kilometer in Wh/km
• \( terrain\_factor \) — Adjustment for terrain difficulty (1.0-1.5)

Explanation: The equation calculates range by dividing total battery capacity by the energy consumption rate adjusted for terrain difficulty.

3. Importance of Range Calculation

Details: Accurate range estimation is crucial for planning eBike trips, avoiding battery depletion, and understanding how different riding conditions affect your range.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter battery capacity in Wh, assist level in Wh/km, and select the appropriate terrain factor. All values must be positive numbers.

5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What's a typical battery capacity for Bosch eBikes?
A: Most Bosch eBike batteries range from 400Wh to 625Wh, with some models offering up to 750Wh.

Q2: How do I find my assist level consumption?
A: This varies by model and riding style. Typical values range from 5-10 Wh/km in Eco mode to 15-25 Wh/km in Turbo mode.

Q3: Why does terrain affect range?
A: Hills require more motor assistance, which increases energy consumption per kilometer.

Q4: What other factors affect real-world range?
A: Rider weight, wind conditions, tire pressure, temperature, and riding style can all impact actual range.

Q5: How accurate is this calculator?
A: It provides a good estimate but actual range may vary by ±20% depending on conditions not accounted for in the calculation.
