Quick answers
Computed from the 76 bikes on sale in our database. Specs verified 2026-10-23.
Most popular US e-bikes go about 41 miles on a charge for a 180 lb rider at 16 mph with relaxed pedaling over rolling hills: about 64% of the range brands advertise. On throttle only over hills, expect about 43% of the claim.
Brands quote range at the lowest assist level, a light rider, flat roads and warm weather. Speed matters most: the energy air drag takes per mile grows with the square of speed, so riding at 20 instead of 12 mph uses about 1.7 to 2.3 times the battery per mile. Rider weight, hills, throttle use and cold all cut it further.
About 0.31¢ per mile at the US average electricity price of 18.31¢/kWh (EIA, July 2026): a full charge of a 720 Wh battery costs about $0.16.
Lithium-ion packs deliver about 85% of their capacity at 32°F and 75% at 20°F, and cold air adds drag. The loss is temporary: store and charge the battery indoors.
Updates
Our discontinued e-bikes page now covers 34 older models from 12 brands that people still search for. Each one names the current model closest to it.
Across 76 popular US e-bikes on sale today, a 180 lb rider at 16 mph on rolling hills gets a median 64% of the advertised range. Riding on throttle alone over hills, the median drops to 43%.
On our model of a 672 Wh commuter, range drops from 44 mi at 70°F to 36 mi at 32°F and 31 mi at 20°F. Lithium-ion batteries deliver less energy when cold, and the loss reverses once the battery warms up.
