Mokwheel Basalt 2.0: real range, hills and charging

A 180 lb rider on the Mokwheel Basalt 2.0 at 16 mph with relaxed pedaling over rolling hills (±2%) on pavement can expect about 55 miles per charge (44–66 mi), using 15.5 Wh per mile. That is 68% of the brand's 80 mi claim. That is about 68% of the claim. On throttle only over hills it drops to about 36 miles. For less money, the Gotrax Tundra ($1,299) goes about 56 miles in the same riding.

Can the Mokwheel Basalt 2.0 climb hills?

Highest steady speed on each grade, motor at its 1,100 W peak, limited by its 90 Nm of torque. A 10% grade is a steep city street; 15% is a hard hill.

Rider	5% grade	10% grade	15% grade
180 lb, throttle	20 mph	12 mph	9 mph
180 lb, pedaling	21 mph	13 mph	9 mph
250 lb, throttle	17 mph	10 mph	7 mph
250 lb, pedaling	18 mph	11 mph	8 mph

Steepest grade at 8 mph (180 lb): 16% on throttle, 18% with moderate pedaling. Peak power lasts for short hills; on long climbs motors fall back toward their 750 W nominal rating.
