What influence does the battery have on the range.

​

It is important to know what the capacity of the battery itself is. We offer different battery capacities depending on the use of the bike. Lindtbergh has a number of battery variants, 430, 480, 500 and 725 Wh batteries. However, we have currently chosen to use the 720 Wh battery as standard on our Touring e-bike. Wh stands for 'Watt Hour'. In other words, it indicates the size of the fuel tank, such as in a car. The higher the Wh, the more fuel the e-bike has. A battery with more Wh contains more charge.

​

However, don't be fooled by the number alone. A higher Wh does not always have to equate to a larger range. There are more external factors to consider. Weight, driving conditions, terrain, weather conditions and much more can all affect a battery's range. As a rule of thumb you can assume that you can drive about 12 to 14 kilometers per 100 Wh in normal use [25 km/h, moderate wind, without too much effort]. For the Enduro TR this means a range of 90-100 km.

​

The type of electric bicycle also plays a role. Electric city bikes usually come with a smaller battery because a smaller range is acceptable. Lindtbergh usually uses a battery starting at 430 Wh, while a Touring bike comes standard with a battery of at least 720 Wh. The heavier the load or the further the range, the more Wh the battery must have.
