Giant Explore E Bike 100 mile challenge , 500wh Battery Range Test

Battery test , is 100 miles possible with 1 charge and a 500 wh battery, over 100 miles in a day, mainly along the trans pennine trail in South Yorkshire.

Thanks for making this video. I was impressed at the range you managed to achieve. I just bought a Giant Talon e + and hope I can push it as much as you did 😄

Thanks Terry, I saw the 'battery exhausted' video before this one. Both good info and entertaining.

Terry, is battery power percentage truly linear ? Is 16% at full battery the same as 16% at near empty. I'd read it's not, but I can't verify.

Thank you for the video. All in Eco, flat route, I'm not surprised. The problem with e-bikes is that terrain declivity, higher modes, wind, etc. have a huge influence on range, and from 100 miles you go down to 20 miles in no time. But since you topped the battery up at the cafe, there's no challenge here.

I'm not good when coming to fixing punchers should I bring some spare tubes with me on long trips ?

[nosas]

What battery charger do you take with you ? the original is a brick of a unit and im not keen on taking that one with me.

[Super.Quasar]

Terry, for my benefit it would have superb to watch you drain the battery without recharge. I predict you'd get the same result, but it may have done more. I'm assuming the ride was on a towpath and therefor level throughout. Thanks for your efforts, real good information. Gary

Hor far will a giant fathom e+3 electric bike go with a 400wh battery?

[gloomy]

What is the average speed though? Because time is also an important variable.

[aodh]

What model exactly is this please? Looks like a brilliant bike, and those bar ends look great too, are they standard?

[e-bikerbulgaria]

Word of caution the short charges create cell group voltage imbalances and without a means to balance the cell group voltages risk having a battery failure. When you charge to full give the battery plenty of time to balance. Great video 👍👍👍👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿😎

I wonder how long these batteries last before they die. What is the life cycle of these batteries? Are they rechargeable maybe 1, 000 times?

[nosas]

I managed 83.77 miles on my Giant explore 500watt, no recharge in summer. Mixture of eco, tour and off....to Goole and back from Wakefield. Saying that yesterday at 1c, only managed 44 on same settings.

Hello thanks for the video, what are your overall feeling about the bike? I´m thinking to buy one :-)

[josephmullen]

Hi terry I did what you said and got my battery charged in a shop while I got some food

[allanallen]

I'm in the Lake District, I doubt I would get half that range.

Only if you have ridden on flat land, and on occasions use no battery. I have a 2020 model, 625wa battery, and on a hilly terrain, max 100 km, not 100 miles. Of course, always in ECO.

[raybradley]

Nice bike, nice little video but with nearly 50 miles on the clock you still had 60% battery so the real test would have been to push the battery to its true limit rather than topping it up at the cafe.

[trailguy]

How many watts is your motor and what was the total weight it carried? (Bike, you, gear)? And average mph if you know it.

[josephmullen]

Hi when the battery is fully charged it is 100% yes, when I charge mine and don't use it for a while my battery goes to 90%
