What Is The Range Of A 36V Battery City E-Bike?

A 36V city e-bike with a typical 10.4Ah battery generally offers a range between 25 and 45 miles on a single charge, depending on factors such as rider weight, terrain, speed, pedal-assist level, and throttle usage. The watt-hour capacity of around 374Wh for this battery size is a good indicator of potential distance, balancing power and weight for efficient urban riding.

How Does Battery Capacity Influence Range on a 36V City E-Bike?

Battery capacity, measured in watt-hours (Wh), directly affects how far an e-bike can travel. A 36V 10.4Ah battery stores approximately 374Wh of energy, translating into a practical range ideal for most city riders. Larger capacity batteries provide longer ranges but add weight and cost, so 10.4Ah strikes a good balance for urban commutes.

What Factors Affect the Actual Range You Can Expect?

Actual range is influenced by rider weight, with heavier riders using more energy, and terrain—hilly routes consume more battery than flat roads. Wind resistance, riding speed, and tire pressure also significantly impact efficiency. Use of pedal-assist extends range compared to throttle reliance, which drains battery power faster.

How Does Riding Style Impact Battery Range?

Maintaining moderate speeds and steady pedaling with lower pedal-assist levels maximizes range. Frequent acceleration and heavy throttle use increase battery consumption and reduce distance. Optimizing riding habits alongside proper tire inflation helps extend every charge.

How Long Does It Take To Charge a 36V 10.4Ah Battery?

Charging typically takes 4 to 6 hours with a standard charger. Partial charges are possible for quicker turnaround but full charges optimize battery health and ride time.

How Does a 36V 10.4Ah Battery Compare to Higher-Capacity Models?

Compared to larger batteries like 48V 15Ah packs, the 36V 10.4Ah battery is lighter and more affordable but offers less range and peak power. It remains an excellent choice for city riders prioritizing maneuverability, cost, and moderate commutes rather than maximum performance or long-distance travel.

Which TST EBike Models Use a 36V 10.4Ah Battery?

TST EBike’s urban-focused 26-inch models commonly employ 36V 10.4Ah batteries, paired with efficient 1000W motors and Shimano 7-speed gearing. These configurations deliver responsive, manageable rides suitable for city commuting while providing sensible range and power.
