How Far Can an eBike Go? | Range Test | Biktrix Electric Bikes

[@kevinnashskitchen3517]

You did what everyone wants to see. Hats off to ya there!🤘😎 From Michigan here.. I have been on that stretch before.. Trip to Banff and Jasper parks one year.. But never had pedals on the Suzuki 1100 😂 winds can blow you sideways at times.

[@MrCsebike]

I just finished a range test on my Philodo H8 for my channel. I think you and I are the only ones that will have such a test on KZbin and now that I have done it I know why.

[@buffalomind6838]

Those amps are what I’d love to see on my future e-bike. If you use the amperage efficiently there pretty much isn’t much you couldn’t do on an e-bike.

[@ctcboater]

Every time they showed the display, it was in ECO. That's not a bad thing, but several times he said he was in level 1 or 2. I know that with my Juiced bike, I can easily maintain 18-20 mph on the level in ECO (maybe not for 100 miles...), and I'm 75 years old.

[@twowheeltim]

Oh, you lucky souls who live in near perfectly flat terrain! Next, show us 1,000 feet of climbing every 20 miles with a headwind! 😆

[@Biktrix]

There was actually more climbing than we thought there would be on this trip! Rolling hills with lots of up and downs

[@kevinknapp7361]

Come to Vancouver Island and I'll show you climbing.

[@Biktrix]

[@kevinknapp7361]

@@Biktrix So.... I'm riding a 2019 Trek Powerfly LT 7 Plus. I ride All Mountain/Enduro style. Going to be looking for an upgrade in the next year. Obviously I ride on Van Isle. Looking for something unrestricted and more powerful. Range isn't a huge concern. I put max 60km on a day but suspension travel (150-160mm), weight (sub 45-50lbs) and durability are my focus points. Haven't seen many or any Biktrix out there. Wondering what you have that might fit the bill.

[@seanfrank4158]

One thing to also consider is that hopefully battery tech gets better as we move forward. This is today's range. Tomorrows will be better.

[@Biktrix]

And we can't wait to be apart of tomorrow! We think today's range is pretty damn good though

[@volt7cooltangs701]

Thank you. Great test. Real world. Congrats on a helpful video. How much does the tested e-bike weight in kgs with both the batteries but without your camera rig? And what is the rated wattage of that Bafang motor? do you also know the Nm torque figure?

[@elfpower8300]

Chee,I seem to average roughly the same mileage,on throttle only.That’s always amazing to me.I pedal now and then to keep warm…

[@paulanstall1215]

How about telling us what you are inflating the tire pressures to?

[@Biktrix]

It was between 35-40PSI for these tires. Thanks for watching!

[@Troobeli69]

Offtopic, I got similar ebike with 26x4.00 tyres and I inflate to almost max pressure. Have been working fine, 4000+ km before rear tyre needed changing. In winter (snow, ice) I recommend using studded tyres both front and rear.

[@dennisyoung4631]

After *that* ride, you will wish a *hefty* beer.

[@perryrush6563]

I love the increasingly noticeable farmers tan the longer the video goes

[@jasperdomacena6491]

I live in an area where every shop you'll go to is in town and every medical center is within 5 miles an Electric Moped / E-Bike just makes sense literally just cents per charge or free If I plug somewhere else.. I'm wasting money filling up my car and my motorcycle so I got a 3kw electric motorcycle.. range lasts me about a week's worth of riding in town Great Value not gonna ie

[@kalef1234]

Damn this guy was dry in front of a camera lol

[@kevinnashskitchen3517]

So I can add 40A battery to my Ariel Rider Kepler in a bag on the rack. 60 A total 52 volt with over 3,000 Wh. No big deal to crank out 100 miles with a 1,000 watt rear hub at 25 mph.

[@FreshToTheExtreme]

what is the max tire size for fat tires on this bike?

[@Biktrix]

27.5x4

Quanto é o valor

[@newsunshine3810]

Wish we had bought sooner

[@wteulon]

The problem with these bikes is that they weigh 80+ lbs, and handle like a tank. That's 30 lbs more than my Specialized Vado 3.0, with which I can go about 120 km on one charge. Might as well just get a motorcycle rather than a Biktrix if you want to travel 100's of kilometers.

[@Biktrix]

If we reduce the power of this bike to same as Specialized, it'll get 100s of km of range.

[@mikewade777]

do it again and do a real world range test.

[@Biktrix]

Oh yes, some folk think Saskatchewan is out of the world.

@@mikewade777 lots of that from our users on our owners group: facebook.com/groups/1136802453086982/

[@NathanSchoo]

I just did 86km with 17ah+14ah batteries on a hub duo 27.5x3, averaging a bit under 30 km/h with a lot of pedaling, had 15% left at the end (but the percentage left on ebikes is extremely unreliable, the battery was likely much lower). 160km with 39ah, if possible, is an absolute best case scenario under perfect conditions, super babying the battery and pedaling like Lance Armstrong.

[@NavigatedChaos]

I'd believe this if it was from someone reviewing it.

[@Biktrix]

Someone paid for a review? Hmm

[@NavigatedChaos]

@@Biktrix It's just hard to believe a test done by the company. With video editing and behind the camera stuff, anything you say can be possible. Just a personal view on it. That being said, it's not like I'll ever be able to afford a bike like this so no need to worry. This is like a sports car to my budget.

[@mikeforrest5912]

There was almost 50Ah of battery, narrower tires were put on, tires were over inflated and they waited for a day that was favorable for winds. They were very upfront and detailed and exposed on this. They have a reputation that has value; reviewers that get free bikes, paid or have other financial interests couldn't do a better job of it. I likely can't afford such a bike but so what, a l of people can.

[@ttvdizturb3d]

u literally pedaled the entire time LMFAO

[@allanallen1835]

Without the camera he got 120 miles out of it😂

[@Biktrix]

The camera was definitely heavy lol

[@Lloyd-mo]

That's not the usual bike most people buy

[@VanillaGorilla7633]

Lol those are not hills. This range test is unrealistic for most of us.

[@Biktrix]

We rode 160km where we could. It is unrealistic for us to ride 160km in every state/province to represent all riders.

[@VanillaGorilla7633]

@@Biktrix No this is best case scenario for any ebike. Not a real world range test for 99% of owners. And riding on the hwy is illegal btw in most states. Stop playing around and do a real test.

[@Biktrix]

Where do you think most cross country riders ride?@@VanillaGorilla7633

[@VanillaGorilla7633]

@@Biktrix That ebike is not a cross country bike in the first place, and was never built to be used as "A CROSS COUNTRY BIKE". Just because you break laws doesn't mean everyone else dose. And again while you try to avoid the reality of this initial first statement from me here in this post, most people live in and around real hills and changing elevations just to go to work or the store, let alone a long day trip out just for fun around town or the county side. You tested in a completely flat situation, not realistic of real world distances for an ebike to most people. Your situation is only 100% best case scenario. Your video is mute when exploring this ebike for real world mileage use.

[@Biktrix]

Perhaps you should do some research before accusing us of breaking laws. Most highways here in SK allow electric assist bikes. Here is the rule book if you care to read: thecce.org/canada/sk/saskatchewan-traffic-safety-act/ We tested range in our hometown where we are. There are seveal geographies across the world with similar terrain. @@VanillaGorilla7633

It’s all about the “juice “ the bigger battery the longer rang! Get terminator battery & like him u can go 120 yrs without charging!!😅😅😂🦾🦾🦾
