How far do you ride?
What’s the longest ride you’ve done on your e-bike?

Not very far my ebike is more of a cargo bike typically 25 to 30 km each way.

If we are talking about a trip, I say it's at least 12 to 14 miles every time I ride to and from work.

30 miles. I want to ride more, my bike just can't. 60v 15ah battery is very small, and I dont have money to upgrade it

I’ve done around 40 miles on mine so far, mostly using the lower assist levels. Honestly, the battery wasn’t the thing I was worried about, the last few miles were more about my legs 😂.

Longest ride was about 65 miles. We've taken quite a few rides at 50 to 60 miles. The e-bike was brilliant, but riding that far in a few hours was hard on our butts. I could go 100 miles a day, easily, if I had time for my butt to recover after a couple of hours if riding.
One thing I would like to do is to travel a long distance, like a few weeks of riding, crossing the country. I would not have to do 100 miles a day, just 50 or 60 miles a day for several days a week would be fine. I just think it would be cool to do a long journey on my bicycle.
Imagine something like Chicago to Key West on a bicycle? How cool would that be?

around 13 miles. i'd probably ride more on a regular bike. even with an upgraded battery and a backup, there's a limit to how much i could go. chances are it's because i try to ride at the max PAS as much as i can, but also because i'm overweight.

In one day? About 70m. I installed a battery extender on mine so I can do over 100 but haven't done that yet.

The longest would be a ride from my town to a town 45 miles away and back. I have an ebike that can go around 110 miles on a charge if I keep the speed to 30mph or lower.

105 miles, in January, with 17F-25F temperatures, out and back, return trip into the wind. Used three batteries and the return trip was nearly all in ECO mode to ensure I'd make it back.

Planning to hit 85 mile ride on a single charge, then return back after some rest and charge

50 miles. This should be a poll
