🔋 What range can I expect on a charge?

Range depends most on your battery's watt-hours: a 672Wh pack goes roughly 30–50 miles on pedal-assist, less on full throttle, and bigger packs stretch much farther.

🔋 What range can I expect on a charge?

The biggest factor is your battery's amp-hour (Ah) / watt-hour (Wh) capacity — bigger pack, more miles. A useful rule of thumb:

  • Throttle-heavy riding: ~15–25 Wh per mile
  • Moderate pedal-assist: ~8–15 Wh per mile
So a 672Wh pack (48V 14Ah) delivers roughly 30–50 miles on pedal-assist, less if you're all-throttle. A big Whale Shark (48V 24.5Ah, 1,176Wh) can stretch far higher for easy pedal-assist riders.

Real-world range swings a lot with rider weight, assist level, how much you pedal, terrain and hills, wind and temperature, tire pressure, cargo, and gearing. Our published range spans (e.g., "13–90+ mi") cover that whole spread. For an accurate live fuel gauge, the DPC-18 display shows true battery state-of-charge percentage.
