Can I use an electric bike for long distance rides, multi-day touring and bikepacking?Updated a year ago
El Camino is designed with long distance multi-day adventures in mind. Ride all day and stop off overnight to recharge yourself and your bike.
What range can I expect from El Camino in real life when in power assist mode?
The 250Wh battery in the downtube delivered up to 70km of assisted riding in testing.
There are three power settings. Use level 1 for assisted riding all day. Use level 2 for a sweat-free ride to work. Max power level 3 is for a 20 mile blast around a local loop. Switch between the three modes using the bar-mounted power controls to handle varied terrain.
The actual range depends on a number of factors including power setting, loaded weight of the rider and bike, wheel tyre pressures and outside tempetature.
A bottle cage sized range extender is available from June 2024 to give 120km of assisted riding.
