How Far Can an E-Bike Go on One Charge?
Battery range is the #1 question for most riders. This POLEEJIEK guide brings together what truly affects single-charge range, how our categories differ, and easy ways to ride farther—rooted in the specs and use-cases we build for at moyoebikes.com.
Quick Answer
Most modern e-bikes deliver a practical single-charge range in the ~25–70 miles (40–112 km) window under mixed city use. Lightweight road/trekking builds can stretch longer; heavy-duty fat-tire or cargo builds may sit lower if ridden hard. Your actual result depends on battery capacity (Wh), assist level, speed, terrain, temperature, tire choice, and payload.
POLEEJIEK Categories & Typical Use
We design for distinct riding scenarios. Explore our line-up to see which range profile fits your routes:
- Road / Narrow-Tire E-Bikes: light, efficient, best mileage at moderate speeds.
- Mountain / Fat-Tire: traction and power for mixed terrain; range varies with elevation and surface.
- Mid-Drive: superior climbing efficiency; great where hills dominate your commute.
- Folding: compact convenience; range tuned for urban hops and multi-modal travel.
- Retro / Vintage: iconic styling with practical urban range; some builds offer dual-battery options.
- Cargo / Utility: built for loads and delivery; consider higher-capacity or dual-battery for long shifts.
At-a-Glance Range by Scenario
| Scenario | Typical Assist & Speed | Practical Range Outlook* |
|---|---|---|
| Urban stop-and-go | Eco/Normal · 12–18 mph | 30–55 miles (48–88 km) |
| Suburban fitness loop | Eco/Trail · steady cadence | 40–70 miles (64–112 km) |
| Hilly commute | Trail/Boost on climbs | 25–50 miles (40–80 km) |
| Delivery + payload | Normal/Boost · frequent stops | 20–45 miles (32–72 km) |
*Your result depends on battery Wh, rider + cargo weight, tires, wind, temperature, and cadence.
What Most Strongly Affects Range
- Battery capacity (Wh): Higher Wh = more energy on board. (Wh = Volts × Amp-hours.)
- Assist level & speed: High assist or high speed increases Wh-per-mile.
- Terrain & elevation: Climbing consumes energy; regenerative effects on hub motors are minimal on bikes.
- Payload & aerodynamics: Rider + cargo mass and wind drag both matter.
- Temperature & tires: Cold temps reduce available capacity; soft or knobby tires add rolling resistance.
- Drivetrain & tuning: Mid-drives can climb efficiently at lower Wh/mi when geared well.

Real-World Examples from Our Line-Up
The following examples show how use-case and battery strategy change range expectations. Always check the latest specs on each product page.
| POLEEJIEK Focus | Why It’s Built That Way | Where to Explore |
|---|---|---|
| Efficient Road / Trekking | Light frames, narrower tires, steady-state cruising = excellent Wh-per-mile. | Narrow-Tire Collection |
| Fat-Tire / Mountain | Grip and comfort off-road; select higher-capacity packs if you ride steep trails. | Mountain / Fat-Tire |
| Mid-Drive Climbers | Use the bike’s gearing to keep cadence efficient on hills, conserving Wh. | Mid-Drive Series |
| Dual-Battery Options | Extend runtime for delivery or touring; swap or combine packs where available. | Cargo / Utility |
| Retro / Vintage | Classic styling with modern electrics; pick capacity to fit your daily loop. | Retro Collection |
| Compact Folding | Commuter-friendly; balance portability with the Wh you actually need. | Folding Series |
How to Ride Farther on the Same Battery
- Use the lowest assist level that keeps your cadence comfortable.
- Hold a steady pace; avoid repeated full-throttle bursts.
- Keep tires properly inflated for your tire type and load.
- Shift gears to keep cadence efficient, especially on mid-drives.
- Reduce drag: tidy panniers, avoid bulky boxes when possible.
- Plan hillier routes to minimize steep, stop-start climbs.
- In winter, store and charge batteries at room temperature.
- Consider a higher-capacity or dual-battery setup for long shifts.
Battery Longevity vs. Single-Charge Range
Range is what you get today; longevity is how long your pack stays healthy. Lithium-ion e-bike batteries commonly endure hundreds of charge cycles when treated well. Keep state of charge roughly in the 20–80% band for daily use, avoid extended storage at 0% or 100%, and don’t leave packs in very hot cars or in freezing garages. When in doubt, follow the specific guidance on each product page at moyoebikes.com.

FAQ
How do I estimate my range with a specific POLEEJIEK model?
Check the battery capacity (Wh) on the product page, then divide by your expected Wh-per-mile. City riders using moderate assist often see ~12–18 Wh/mi; trail riding or high speeds can be higher. For a tailored estimate, contact us with your route: Contact POLEEJIEK.
Will a mid-drive give me more range than a hub motor?
Not automatically—but on hilly routes, a mid-drive can leverage gears to reduce energy per mile at the same climbing pace, which often improves effective range for the same Wh. See our mid-drive collection.
Is dual-battery worth it?
If you carry cargo, ride long shifts, or need reserve for cold weather, dual-battery or higher-Wh packs are absolutely worth it. Explore options in cargo / utility or check product pages for capacity upgrades.
