Got back home, 5 hours later with 1 mile range left in the battery. It's been recharging in the bike room. I've just unplugged it and it now has 70 miles range in Auto mode, not bad, but then in reality, when you're climbing 1,127 metres of elevation gain, and weighing 14 stone plus carrying 2 litres of water, tools, FF helmet, neck brace, first aid kit, spare hoodie, and snacks, the actual range I can get is 40 kms when riding North Cardiff trails. I rode 33 kms in Auto mode, and the rest in Eco+, which I had to select when the battery was on its final bar, Eco plus just about got me up the hills on the way home, very slowly and my legs are still feeling that effort. The bike weighs 26.5kg. So, riding it in Eco or Eco+ is better than having to push the bike home in walk mode for the last 6 or 7 kms.
I'm not trying to put anyone off getting an EMTB, but just consider, not only distance you'll be covering but also the elevation gain. A spare battery costs £500 and weighs 3.5kg so could be carried in a hydration backpack but that weight is going to be felt plus the wallet will feel that but definitely an option for long rides or with backpacking where recharging isn't available.
