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
-
Fewer refills needed, often only once a week

-
Higher price (often premium segment)
-
