How many kms are you getting from your 2nd gen 630 battery?

I have an EP801 and I’m lucky if I get 20kms in eco set to 63nm. I took out a demo Bosch with a 750 battery set to eMTB, equivalent to trail with and got 23kms out of it with 37% left which works out to be less than 500wh of usage, frustrating I can’t get more range out of the battery.

I've got an Enduro 160mm full suspension 29er with 2.5 shredda tires on it set to ~22psi. It's ~56lbs and I'm at ~185lbs. In trail mode with 85nm, start assist aggressive, assist character turned up 3 notches from factory, and carryover at max I can get ~24 miles (38.6km). I'd say something is wrong with your battery, or you're dragging an anchor behind you 😂.

I weigh roughly 95kg, ride a 160mm travel bike with EP6 motor and in Trail with occasional Boost mode usage, on standard hilly single track with plenty of climbs, I get around 30-35km.

Thanks for all the replies, the ride I did on the Bosch motor was the same type of ride I do on the EP801. I’m 240lbs but comparing the two bikes the EP801 is eating up more battery at a lower setting. I’m going to see if I can get a new battery but the battery test all checks out with the linkage device

So you're saying that you only get 12 miles from a fully charged battery on Eco set to 63nm, that's ridiculous, I regularly get 34 miles, 55km on an EP8 with a 635wh battery set at roughly 65nm on eco but occasionally switching to trail, that's vastly increased using my other shimano system with a 756wh battery.

Yep, doesn't make sense at all

I have similar issues with gen2 630 battery and EP801 in a full fat enduro bike. I can get far more range with my Rise and a 540 battery.
On a recent ride I rinsed my battery to 4% in just 22km ride with 880m climbing.
My 2 companions on Bosch CX bikes with similar sized batteries had between 20 and 30% left.
The weekend before I did 32km with 1400m of climbing on the Rise and had 38% battery left.
The big bike definitely has issues but no idea how to go about sorting it or proving it either.

That's definitely a problem. Last weekend I did 29km ride with 810m elevation on my Fuel Ex-e and had 25% battery left. Thats only 50nm motor and 360wh battery.

I'd lean more towards mode usage and rider input.
