First, let's calculate how many miles you can get on your next e-bike ride. Head to this handy Range Calculator Tool and enter your key stats - total rider and luggage weight, motor, and battery. You can even more precise by adding environmental conditions like wind, terrain, and surface. The resulting number is an estimate of how far you can go before running out of battery. Is it enough to tackle the day to day and big adventures you've been dreaming of?
For science, toggle the dual battery option to see how that affects your range. Hey now! That opens up a whole new realm of possibilities...
2. Riese & Müller Custom Orders
When you're building your custom Riese & Müller dream bike, depending on the series you may have the option to add a second battery. Riese & Müller was one of the first E-Bike manufacturers to introduce Bosch DualBattery Technology and has been equipping many series with it ever since. The batteries are engineered so the additional weight and battery position have no noticeable effect on riding behavior. Depending on the model, they use two fully integrated Bosch PowerTube batteries, the combination of a PowerTube battery and a frame or luggage rack battery, or for cargo bikes, two frame batteries attached to the frame and loading surface. More R&M dual battery details here.
