6,000. Second set tires and re built battery
My 2019 Specialized Vado has 16,000 miles on it. I've been through three sets of tires and a new chain every year plus one new back wheel. The battery still holds over 90% of original capacity which will provide 92 miles on full charge in Eco mode.
I have over 4,000 miles on my second e-mtb I bought about 5 years ago with the Brose S-Mag motor. I also got a fat tire snow e-bike a little over a year ago, but I only have about 250 miles on it because of its limited use in snow only. If I had realized how much fun these ebikes are, I never would have bought them!!
(I am joking, of course.)
Range unlimited with a solar charger on my
With the right clothing, not even exotic stuff, you might be surprised how comfortable it can be to ride in the winter.
Wow! That's very impressive R. How do you treat your battery? The rules I have read are: Do not let it get to, say, 20%, then leave it for weeks, try to keep it between 50 and 75%. Do not let it fall below 10 centigrade and do not let it go above 40 centigrade. Not likely in Britain but the cold side, for sure. I have to keep it indoors in Dec, Jan, Feb, unless it's mild. I have had it at a temp of 3 degrees but wrap the battery which is not detachable with Bubble wrap and drape a large sheet of bubble wrap over bike. I have 1,500 miles on the clock.
I don't really know, I had 2 carrera subway electric bikes, 36v 250w uk legal a cyclotricity stealth 250/1000w then a self build 250/1000w, a lankeleisi mg740plus 2 x 1000w & I'm now in the middle of a bafang hd fat bike build. In between all of this I had covid & came close to dying (ICU) that took me 18 months to recover & now I've got osteoporosis in my neck & I've been advised that moderate exercise ie cycling is OK as well as swimming, which is why I'm putting together the fat bike with the bafang mid drive. Our uk limits are 250w 15.5mph but it's easy enough to restrict the bafang to 15.5mph though it will climb hills a lot easier than a 36v 250w. I'll be 60 in April & living in a hilly area I find it extremely tiring to manage with a 250w rear hub. The self build 250/1000w is adequate, the lankeleisi 2 x 1000w requires I carry an extra battery, the mid drive will have 2 x 52v 20ah batteries & will be for pleasure & exercise only. I suppose if I add all those miles up between the bikes, it's got to be a few thousand miles
