1 year agoYes, it alsodepends on how much help you get from the motor. I can get between 35 and 80km out of my Ebike depending on the helping function I choose, how much headwind, how many hills, how much I’m carrying, etc. I went with a midrange battery for mine, but after experiencing the longer range use cases (going on biking holidays carrying my child or on day trips somewhere relatively far), I’d definitely choose the largest battery next time. I definitely think it’s worth the extra 200-300 dollars.
I’ll also do a shout out to Thule bike trailers. You can attach them behind any bike instead of having to buy a special one with front carrying, and they’re super light, all terrain and can be easily removed when you don’t need them.
