A IS FOR… AH
…and AH is for Amp-Hours. This is basically a measure of how much juice an e-bike’s battery has. The higher the number, the longer the battery will last, and the further that e-bike will get you. In theory, 10AH batteries are fairly standard but manufacturers claims about how far those batteries will take you can vary wildly. In truth, how fast you burn through your Amp-Hours and therefore what range you get from an e-bike battery will depend on a number of factors. These include what level of power assist you’re using (most e-bikes have three or four levels), how much you use it to tackle hills or headwinds, how much weight that engine is having to shit, as well as how your bike is set up. A well-lubed, friction-free chain and higher tyre pressure, for example, will produce less rolling resistance and therefore drain the battery less. As a rule of thumb, if range is a major concern, upgrading from a 10 AH battery to a 15AH one is advisable.
