An Introduction To Electric Motorcycle Range

Introduction

Electric bikes are becoming more and more popular. In fact, e-bike sales have grown by over 43{a5ecc776959f091c949c169bc862f9277bcf9d85da7cccd96cab34960af80885} in the UK alone, with sales reaching over 1 million units in 2018. The electric motor has become a popular choice for commuters because it offers the convenience of getting around town with minimal effort on your part while also being able to reduce your carbon footprint (when compared to other modes of transport). But how long can you expect your battery to last? And what factors affect range? Read on!

How Much Range Do Electric Motorcycles Have?

Electric motorcycles are a rapidly growing segment of the motorcycling world. Their popularity is due to their ease of use and convenience as well as their environmental friendliness. However, there are still many people who aren’t sure how much range an electric motorcycle has or how far they can go on a single charge. The answer to this question depends on several factors including:

  • The power of your motor (measured in watts)
  • Your weight and riding style
  • Terrain you’re riding over (hilly vs flat)

Electric motorcycle range is measured in miles or kilometers depending on where you live but generally speaking it will be between 50-200 miles per charge depending on those factors above so keep that in mind when deciding which model might work best for your needs!

What Affects Electric Motorcycle Range?

The biggest factor that affects your range is the weight of your bike and how much you’re going to be riding it. The heavier it is, the more power it will take to move it. Also, if you are traveling at high speeds on flat terrain with no wind in your face and sunny weather conditions, then this will also increase your range significantly (but we don’t recommend doing any of those things!).

On top of these factors affecting range, there are several other variables which play into how far an electric motorcycle can go before needing another charge: terrain type; weather conditions such as rain or snow; temperature outside (cold temperatures sap battery power quickly); driving style (aggressive acceleration versus gradual acceleration); battery capacity (larger batteries last longer).

The Role Of Battery Size In Electric Bike Range

The size of your battery pack is the biggest factor in how far you can go on an electric bike. The more expensive it is, the longer your range will be.

This will be easier to understand if we talk about what kinds of batteries are used in electric bikes. Most commonly, lithium-ion (Li-ion) batteries are used for this purpose; these are rechargeable cells that store energy by moving ions between electrodes within them as they discharge current from one side of their terminals to another. These batteries have become highly popular because they’re lightweight and easy to manufacture–but they also have some drawbacks: They require careful management during use so as not to overheat or catch fire; and once damaged beyond repair by being charged improperly or discharged too much (or even just left unused), there’s no way for anyone except for maybe Elon Musk himself (*cough cough*) who could possibly fix them again!

Charging The Battery

  • Charging the battery is easy. You can charge the battery at home, or you can charge it while riding. If your bike has a portable charger, it’s even possible to charge while riding!

What Does My Range Look Like With An Ebike?

Your range is the distance you can travel on a single charge of your battery. It’s important to understand that this number is different for every bike, and it also changes depending on how much of your battery remains when you start riding.

For example: if your bike has a 100 watt-hour (W·h) battery and its capacity is 80{a5ecc776959f091c949c169bc862f9277bcf9d85da7cccd96cab34960af80885} full when you go for a ride, then you should get about 80 miles per charge with no hills or wind resistance factor involved. If instead it was 50{a5ecc776959f091c949c169bc862f9277bcf9d85da7cccd96cab34960af80885} full at departure time, then its range would drop down to 40 miles per charge; but if there were hills or strong winds involved during that same journey then those factors would reduce both numbers even further–and so on!

Electric bikes have become increasingly popular

Electric bikes have become increasingly popular. They’re fun to ride and good for the environment, your health and your wallet.

Conclusion

I hope that this article has given you a better understanding of what it means to have an electric bike. We know how important range is and we want everyone who rides our e-bikes to feel safe and confident on the road. The more knowledge you have about your vehicle, the better able you will be to make informed decisions when riding in different conditions–such as weather conditions or whether or not there’s enough charge left for today’s commute.
