Power reserve

The range depends to some extent on the battery capacity. For example, a 500 watt-hour battery delivering 250 V can last about 120 minutes. However, this indicator is valid for optimal conditions, since many factors also influence the travel distance. These include the total weight of the bike and the user, wind direction and speed, tire pressure, road conditions and riding style. If you use the engine only to assist active domination, you can go much further than on electric power alone. In addition, the range increases if you do not accelerate too much.

Up to 25 km. It’s not much, but it’s good for a short ride or to get to work if it’s not very far from home.
25–50 km. This is the optimal power reserve. This is exactly what you need for daily trips around the city or short country walks.
From 50 km. Of course, with such a power reserve, you don’t have to worry too much about the travel range. However, e-bikes that can travel that far are usually in the upper price category.

The maximum mileage of HIPER Engine B63 is up to 40 km/h
