When choosing you next ebike battery you need to think about how the battery capacity works with the motor power. Bigger battery, more range but if your conversion kit is powerful, it’ll drain the battery faster.
We’ve got a Battery Capacity vs. Motor Power Table to help out.
Battery Capacity (Wh): This is the energy your battery stores. Bigger battery, more range. But how much range also depends on your motor.
Motor Sizes: The stronger the motor, the quicker it’ll drain your battery.
Expected Range: It shows how far you can go based on the motor and battery combo.
For example:
A 350Wh battery with a 250W motor gives you around 25-30 km. Same battery with a 3000W motor? You’re looking at just 5-10 km.
A 1500Wh battery with a 750W motor gets you 80+ km, but with a 3000W motor, around 50+ km.
Got a 1000W motor? You’ll need something like a 1200Wh battery to get decent range. Running a 250W motor for city rides? A 350Wh or 600Wh battery will be plenty.
For city rides you don’t need a big battery. Off-road or hills you do.
Don’t Run Out Mid-Ride
If you know how the motor and battery work together, you won’t get stuck with no power. Using a 3000W motor? You’ll want at least a 1500Wh battery to hit 50+ km.
Bigger battery means more weight.
City Rides (10-30 km): A 250W motor with a 350Wh battery gives you around 25-30 km. Good for short trips.
Longer Rides (30-60 km): A 500W or 750W motor with a 600Wh battery gives you 30-45 km. More range for commutes or light hills.
