Aventon Ramblas ADV: real range, hills and charging
A 180 lb rider on the Aventon Ramblas ADV at 16 mph with relaxed pedaling over rolling hills (±2%) on pavement can expect about 45 miles per charge (36–55 mi), using 14 Wh per mile. The brand claims up to 90 miles. That is about 50% of the claim. At full assist with almost no pedaling over hills it drops to about 30 miles.
