2021 Heckler MX Real World Runtimes

[bikeguy11]

Hey all. Looking at a Heckler MX and wanting to get feedback on the EP8 with a 504wh battery in terms of range. I realize there's LOTS of variables involved. Weight is 160 lbs geared up. Most of our group rides are 20-25 miles and about 2500 feet of elevation gain. Mainly trail mode in stock settings bumped up slightly with a small amount of turbo thrown in. Any info appreciated!

Your'e right... there's a lot of variables. Today I rode My Heckler MX 24 miles and 3850 feet of elevation gain. When I got back to the truck, ST said there was 19% battery left. I suspect I could have gone a couple more miles, but that's it. My friend who tips the scales 50 pounds less than me, riding an Orbea Rise, got back with 21% battery remaining.

You'll be fine with that, i wouldn't use the standard settings to get the most mileage though. Also, your weight can be a big factor.

I'm a proper fat git and know that I can get a good 20-25 miles and 2500-3000 ft of climbing out of my MX.

As VW says above you might want to tweak your settings - as an example I have eco set to something like 4 rather than the default. The rest are default.
