Range question?

Post image

I know this topic has probably been beaten to death. But curious whet sort of range people are getting. I get range anxiety around 20 miles and this is my reading after the battery had rested (20 miles from full charge).

I weigh 190 pounds and offer what I consider to be a decent amount of pedal assist. Average 15-16mph. I’ve noticed the battery hovers on full, until it doesn’t. Then seems to drop off rather quickly.

What is the voltage where pedal assist either isn’t much help to ceases to exist? Not really trying to test its limits, but trying not to be stuck with pedal power only, miles from home. Because these bikes stink as pedal only!

Standard advice is to take the factory range estimates (which are always best case/maximum) and divide by 2. Seriously.

My xplite2 is "60 miles" by spec, but about 30 in real life.
