The Best Long-Range E-Bikes Capable Of 100 – 200+ Miles Per Charge

Sick of having to take time out of your vacation to give your e-bike another charge?

We get it.

Luckily, so do several e-bike companies who are now building long-distance electric bikes capable of handling that long commute.

But as great as they are for cutting down on travel time, how far can long-distance electric bikes really go?

The range of an electric bike depends on several factors, but there are now e-bikes capable of achieving anywhere from a 100- 200-mile range in a single charge. Here we’ll introduce you to some of the best 100+ mile range bikes in the world, as well as two revolutionary bikes that are capable o of making a 200+ mile trip in a single charge.    

Keep in mind that any given e-bike’s range will fluctuate based on things such as:

• The combined weight of the rider and cargo
• What kind of terrain you’re riding on
• The speed and level of pedal assistance you choose
• Weather/wind conditions
• The age of the battery
• The size of the bike’s motor
• Servicing conditions such as tire pressure and battery age

The good news is that if you are looking for an e-bike that can go the distance, several options have already appeared on the market. So let’s take a look at some of the best and check out just how far they can take you.
