Outdoor calculator
E-bike range estimator
Riders matching a battery pack to a commuting distance. The decision this page isolates is narrow on purpose: estimate a watt-hour class from miles and hills. Capacity, season, and packed size are the published facts that survive a weekend trip.
This page produces an explainable category or size so options can be compared without a product ranking. The calculator does not rank Aventon, Rad Power Bikes, and Specialized. It produces an explainable class so Aventon Level 2, Rad Power RadRunner 3 Plus, and Specialized Como 4.0 can be compared as examples of that class.
The working method is: Estimate watt-hours per mile from hilliness, double for a round trip, and add a 20 percent reserve. Planning notes are grounded in National Renewable Energy Laboratory. Wind, cargo, and assist level change range substantially.
How to use this calculator

Frequently asked questions
How does the e-bike range estimator work?
It converts one-way miles and hilliness 1–5 into a planning class using a published rule. Estimate watt-hours per mile from hilliness, double for a round trip, and add a 20 percent reserve. The headline is a class such as 500–700, 300–400, and 700+, not a vendor ranking.
Is Aventon Level 2 better than Rad Power RadRunner 3 Plus?
This page does not rank Aventon Level 2, Rad Power RadRunner 3 Plus, and Specialized Como 4.0. Aventon Level 2 and Rad Power RadRunner 3 Plus are listed because they are real products with official pages that map to different or overlapping classes. The useful question is which class matches your inputs.
Can I treat the result as a buying recommendation?
Wind, cargo, and assist level change range substantially. Use the class to decide what to read next, then verify fit, terms, and installation requirements on the official page and with a qualified installer when the product needs one.
