How far can you travel with a 700Wh battery?

With a 700Wh battery, you can cover an average of between 100 and 160 km on a single full charge, and in ideal conditions, even more.
The exact range depends on several factors:

  • Your weight and that of your luggage

  • The type of motor (a central motor is more economical than a hub motor)

  • Assistance mode: the Eco mode allows you to go the furthest, the Turbo consumes more fuel

  • Type of terrain (hills require more energy)

  • tires pressurewind and temperature

Approximate range depending on mode :

  • Eco mode: 140-160 km

  • Tour mode: 110-130 km

  • Sport/Turbo mode: 90-100 km

For whom is a 700Wh electric bike suitable?

This type of battery is ideal for :

  • Long-distance commutersincluding commutes of more than 30 km per trip

  • Cycling trips and multi-day tours

  • Sporty cyclists or hilly routes

  • Those who want to recharge as little as possible

  • Heavier cyclists or those carrying a child or luggage

Thanks to this capacity, even over long distances, recharging becomes almost secondary.

Advantages of a 700Wh electric bike

  • Extremely long range, up to 160 km (or more)

  • Powerful assistance in windy conditions or on hillsides, with no "empty battery" stress

  • High-end battery technology (Bosch, Shimano, Yamahaetc.)

  • Fewer refills needed, often only once a week

  • High resale value

Disadvantages

  • Heavier battery (3.5-4 kg), higher total bike weight

  • Higher price (often premium segment)

  • Longer charging time (standard charger: 6-7 h)

  • Less relevant for short journeys

For heavy users, the advantages and longevity more than compensate for these negative points.

Technical specifications of a 700Wh electric bike

  • Motor: 250W, torque often between 70 and 90 Nm (ideal for hilly terrain)

  • Charging time: 6-7 h (with rapid charger: 4-5 h)

  • Battery weight: approx. 3.8 kg

  • Total bike weight: 25-28 kg

  • Service life: 900-1200 load cycles

  • Removable battery with intelligent system to prevent overheating and overcharging

Tips for optimizing your 700Wh battery

  • Use Eco or Tour modes on flat terrain

  • Recharge after 2 to 3 long trips

  • Store the battery at room temperature, avoiding complete discharge.

  • Opt for a fast charger if you drive every day

  • Regularly check tires pressure and chain: proper maintenance can improve autonomy by up to 15%.
