You probably know some people think i did 80 kms with 80% of my battery
i could have made xkms if i reached empty.
Others trusts estimations well there is no place for that here please.
To select some bike, battery, tires facts can help us.
Please post real numbers about what happened to you in real life, not some projections,
not some fantasy numbers used by some marketers.
I will just make an example but i guess you will understand where i hope this thread will go.

I weight 140 pounds
my tires are Maxxis Rekon 2c 60 TPI 27.5x2.8
my average is 7 Watts per kilometer
so from my 400Wh i can do 56 km(on average) if i am OK with reaching empty.
Without a car i ride to the trails and back and that is when i propbably use more watts.
In technical trails i am never on max assist.
I only use my 5$ watch so for me it means i can ride 2hrs against a strong head wind
but generaly 3-4 hrs of some mix, 5 hrs if i choose to stretch it.
(If you ask me, here the Rekon is fine for rear but a bit more agressive is what i prefer for front)
By the way this is not cold snow riding, those numbers are different.
I did that on a FS 130/120.
