2.1 Range 

How great is the range of my electric bike?

The total distance that you can travel per trip with you QWIC e-bike without 

recharging in between is the range. To assess this properly, you should leave the bike 

/ battery a whole night on the charger. The range should be measured during one 

trip and not spread over several days.

* Batteries run slowly empty even if the bicycle is not used. If the battery is 

connected to the bike it will run out of power faster than if it is taken out and stored 

inside.

Capacity battery

The amount of enery in a battery is expressed in Watt-hours (Wh). The number of 

Watt-hours is calculated by multiplying the number of Ampere-hours (Ah) times the 

nominal Voltage (36V). The higher the amount of Watt-hours, the higher the range!

Calculation example: Suppose your battery has a capacity of 10 Ah and a voltage 36 

Volts. This battery delivers: 10 Ah x 36V = 360 Wh.

QWIC provides bikes with 216 Wh, 360 Wh and 432 Wh batteries. Which battery you 

have, you can read at the bottom of the battery. The following chart is an indication 

of the expected range per battery type.

* Only available on certain foldable bicycles

** Measured on a flat roadsurface under average conditions and with an outside 

temperature of about 20 degrees, with an average speed of about 20 km/h and a 

total of approximately 75kg load. No rights can be derived from these values.

There is a number of influencing factors which can significantly shorten the range. 

Many of these factors can be overcome, so that the range is positively affected. Ask 

your dealer for personal advice.
