There is no single answer, because range depends on the battery, the assist level, the rider's weight, terrain, wind, tires and speed. What you can do is compare bikes on battery size and see how aggressive a brand's range claim is.
General information, last reviewed 2026-11-07. Bike data comes from each brand's listing; we have not tested any bike.
What decides range
Range comes down to energy in the battery divided by energy used per mile. The battery is measured in watt-hours. Energy used per mile rises with speed, rider and cargo weight, hills, headwinds, wide knobby tires and higher assist levels. Using only the throttle usually drains a battery faster than pedaling with low assist.
How to read a range claim
Brands usually quote range under favorable conditions: a lighter rider, flat ground and a low assist level. Some quote a range of numbers, or a top figure for the biggest battery option. Treat the claim as the best case and expect less in everyday riding, especially with a heavier load or on hills.
A quick sanity check
Divide the battery's watt-hours by the claimed miles. That gives the energy the brand assumes you use per mile. Lower numbers mean a more optimistic claim. The table below does this for every bike in our database that lists both numbers. It is not a test result; it only shows how each claim relates to its own battery.
Data from our database
Battery watt-hours per claimed mile, by bike
Lower means a more optimistic claim for the battery size. A claim near 10 Wh per mile assumes very gentle riding; heavier riders, hills and throttle use will cost more. Specs are taken from each brand's own product listing. We do not claim hands-on testing.

Frequently asked questions
Q1
How can I get more range from an e-bike?
Use a lower assist level, pedal more, keep tires properly inflated, ride at moderate speed and carry less weight. A larger battery also helps.
Q2
Does battery size or motor power affect range more?
Battery size sets how much energy you have. Motor power affects how fast you can use it. A bigger battery generally means more range; a stronger motor used at full power drains the battery faster.
