Depends on the route but 45 miles on 500wh. Mainly Tour but found recently they EMTB uses less power as it uses none above 15.5 ish. This is 99% off road and has 2-3 miles of me doing the same tiny loop over and over to practice jumps.

Battery tends to die totally about 100ft from my door

Today I did 33miles, 15 miles was easy road, 28 miles was steep, very hard, rocky, sand and mud trail climbing, 4600 feet. It was crazy hard, my heart was racing, I struggle to get a grip with 2.6 Nobby Nick tyres. When I got home I had range of 0 miles :) . Bosch gen 4, 625 battery, I weight 213 lbs...I did 960 miles from 13th July when I got the bike so 20 miles per day. Wife said I am crazy. I will destroy my bike in one year completely.

About 20 miles year round, in winter with snow I often strap my extra battery on. With fat tire bikes 8psi is common in the winter so if I want to climb and do 20÷ miles I need the extra juice.

20-25km daily commute with 200-300 metres of climbing which equates to around 35% of the 500Wh battery. Weekend trail riding differs on which trails etc. Can do a 45km loop with about 900m climbing on a full charge.

I have a 1000wh dual battery setup and Usually ride around 90km ( 60% tarmac and rest is trials) switching between eco and tour with an average speed of 30-35 km/h on the road. My bike is pretty heavy at 27kg and is deristricted.

Difficult to establish but according to my records between 14 and 25 miles per day depending on the nature of the ride. The shorter rides tend to be bike park rides or downhills around Cheltenham which involve using the car to get there whilst the longer ones usually start from my house and go up and around Cleeve Hill in the Cotswolds.
 

Me encanta explorar nuevas vías, sendas y caminos y después componerme una buena ruta. En esta ocasión, os muestro una de mis últimas apuestas, una ruta de más de 100 kilómetros con 2000 metros de desnivel acumulados, muy rompe piernas. Consumí un 95% de batería usando los diferentes modos. A tener en cuenta, que hacía mucho viendo, pesaba unos 90kg y el terrenos era muy rompe piernas.
Os dejo enlace de la ruta, para que comprobéis que así fue: 1º Test, 100km Campo de Calatrava - Casimiro Bocharán Ocaña's 102.6 km mountain bike ride
Os dejo también vídeo de la ruta:

At the moment i'm trying to do a minimum of 2 times a week a 2 hour, 34 miles and 2000 feet of climbing, everything off road.
It's the only local trail with some climbing, 8.5 miles long, so riding that 4 times, sometimes even 5, in better weather/ trail conditions i'm trying to go to do 6 rounds.
Nice thing about doing a trail multiple times is that i ride the first round a bit calmer, looking for the best line around the trail, the rest of the rounds i'm pushing to the edge, sometimes going over it.... eating dust... 🤫

32 miles on a monday, Wednesday and Friday... if my wife is working on the Tuesdays/Thursday I'll catch a lift.. if not I'll ride.
I try to clear 96 miles a week regardless.
Majority tarmac with occasional 7 miles off road on each ride.

Ha tarmac does not count!!!!!!!!!
My 20+ miles is all off road except 1 mile to the start of the trails......
Usually make about 35 miles + per week.

Generally, if riding by myself after work 20/25km and around 1000m over 1.5 hours. I generally don't ride the e-bike at the weekend as my friends all ride normal bikes, but if I do it will be something like 30/35km and 1200/1300m over maybe 5 hours. I usually do 2 e-bike and 2 normal rides per week.

Normally 20 miles, but today decided to test my battery (Scott Strike 920) 33 miles 1100 metre Ascent, 17 mph side wind and at 24 miles was so knackered I was thinking of contingency plans, battery went at 31 miles but luckily downhill to home. Still feeling it now so will stick to 20 miles

I feel like my bike should go farther. In fact I'm wondering if I should try another battery pack to see if mine has started to fail. Yesterday I rode for 20 miles on 70% assist level with about 2,000 ft of climbing. My battery was useless by the time I was done.

It is a 500W bike and the battery is supposed to have 672Wh. It should go farther, right? Is there a way to test the batteries to see if they are capable of holding their capacity?
