We have selections for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wired.com\/story\/ebikes-for-elders\/\">electric bikes for elderly riders<\/a> here.<\/p>\n<p><h2 class=\"paywall\">How Far Are You Planning to Ride?<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\">The next major priority is addressing customer\u2019s \u201crange anxiety.\u201d Range anxiety is the fear that the bike will run out of battery before the ride is over. Every bike has a stated range, but there are many factors that can increase or decrease it, says Lau, including the terrain, the air temperature, the rider\u2019s weight, the smoothness of the tires, how much assistance the rider uses (most ebikes have at least three levels of assistance), and how large the battery is. When all these factors are considered, a typical ebike range can be anywhere from approximately 30 to 65 miles, Lau says.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\">Bosch, a premier ebike systems manufacturer, has an online <a data-offer-url=\"https:\/\/www.bosch-ebike.com\/us\/service\/range-calculator\" class=\"external-link\" data-event-click=\"{&quot;element&quot;:&quot;ExternalLink&quot;,&quot;outgoingURL&quot;:&quot;https:\/\/www.bosch-ebike.com\/us\/service\/range-calculator&quot;}\" href=\"https:\/\/www.bosch-ebike.com\/us\/service\/range-calculator\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">ebike range calculator<\/a>. Before any ride, cyclists can enter their weight, cadence, average speed, mileage, terrain, wind speed, and other factors to find out a near-exact approximation of how long their Bosch battery will last. Many electric bikes also have the option to add a double battery. This will double your range, but also increase the bike\u2019s weight.<\/p>\n<p><h2 class=\"paywall\">How Are You Going to Charge and Store the Battery?<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<figure class=\"AssetEmbedWrapper-eVDQiB byBkf asset-embed\">\n<div class=\"AssetEmbedAssetContainer-eJxoAx dBHGoQ asset-embed__asset-container\"><span class=\"SpanWrapper-umhxW kGxnNB responsive-asset AssetEmbedResponsiveAsset-cXBNxi eCxVQK asset-embed__responsive-asset\"><picture class=\"ResponsiveImagePicture-cWuUZO dUOtEa AssetEmbedResponsiveAsset-cXBNxi eCxVQK asset-embed__responsive-asset responsive-image\"><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Closeup of the battery on a blue ebike with the scenery of a park in the background\" class=\"ResponsiveImageContainer-eybHBd fptoWY responsive-image__image lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" data-src=\"https:\/\/media.wired.com\/photos\/66202a51b78cd8ec6b9a5552\/master\/w_1600%2Cc_limit\/Rad-Power-Bikes-Radster-Road-Battery-Reviewer-Photo-SOURCE-Adrienne-So.jpg\" data-sizes=\"auto\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/media.wired.com\/photos\/66202a51b78cd8ec6b9a5552\/master\/w_120,c_limit\/Rad-Power-Bikes-Radster-Road-Battery-Reviewer-Photo-SOURCE-Adrienne-So.jpg 120w, https:\/\/media.wired.com\/photos\/66202a51b78cd8ec6b9a5552\/master\/w_240,c_limit\/Rad-Power-Bikes-Radster-Road-Battery-Reviewer-Photo-SOURCE-Adrienne-So.jpg 240w, https:\/\/media.wired.com\/photos\/66202a51b78cd8ec6b9a5552\/master\/w_320,c_limit\/Rad-Power-Bikes-Radster-Road-Battery-Reviewer-Photo-SOURCE-Adrienne-So.jpg 320w, https:\/\/media.wired.com\/photos\/66202a51b78cd8ec6b9a5552\/master\/w_640,c_limit\/Rad-Power-Bikes-Radster-Road-Battery-Reviewer-Photo-SOURCE-Adrienne-So.jpg 640w, https:\/\/media.wired.com\/photos\/66202a51b78cd8ec6b9a5552\/master\/w_960,c_limit\/Rad-Power-Bikes-Radster-Road-Battery-Reviewer-Photo-SOURCE-Adrienne-So.jpg 960w, https:\/\/media.wired.com\/photos\/66202a51b78cd8ec6b9a5552\/master\/w_1280,c_limit\/Rad-Power-Bikes-Radster-Road-Battery-Reviewer-Photo-SOURCE-Adrienne-So.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/media.wired.com\/photos\/66202a51b78cd8ec6b9a5552\/master\/w_1600,c_limit\/Rad-Power-Bikes-Radster-Road-Battery-Reviewer-Photo-SOURCE-Adrienne-So.jpg 1600w\" data-sizes=\"100vw\"\/><\/noscript><\/picture><\/span><\/div>\n<p><span class=\"BaseWrap-sc-gjQpdd BaseText-ewhhUZ CaptionCredit-ejegDm iUEiRd isTgyB fNaHcW caption__credit\">Photograph: Adrienne So<\/span><\/p>\n<\/figure>\n<p class=\"paywall\">In 2023, ebike <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nyc.gov\/office-of-the-mayor\/news\/574-24\/mayor-adams-takes-new-actions-prevent-deadly-lithium-ion-battery-fires-promote-safe-e-bike#\/0\">battery fires<\/a> resulted in 268 incidents, causing 150 injuries and 18 deaths, in New York City.
