Hello All,
I have discovered that Specialized has a range calculator on its website (at least in US) that will allow you to estimate range based on your Height, Weight, Average Speed, Mode, Frequency of Stops, and Terrain. I have found it useful and it will calculate in Metric or Imperial. One tip is that dependent on your terrain you should adjust your average speed as it will not do it for you. It may or may not be dependent on the model of Specialized Levo or Kenevo you have.

It is called the Distance Calculator and it is dependent on the model you ride but the difference is minuscule. Your weight, however, makes a massive difference so it's a great motivator to ditch the heavy equipment or better yet lose some weight!

You go to Specialized.com and locate your eMTB model and it is the distance calculator button under the bik

It is only on the US version of the site as far as I've been able to see so if you want to use it just change the region to US after going to the generic Specialized.com, which is the same URL in every country but a different version.

Agreed, doesn't work on UK site, but changed region and I'm in. Thanks

Hell yes, so true!
A friend of mine has pimped every bit on his (non-e) enduro bike with carbon, a lightweight dropper post, an old shimano XT drive (cause it's lighter), a small cassette - all to save some grams at the cost of multiple hundred bucks. He sais with a lighter bike, he doesn't need an ebike to get up the steep climbs ^^

Me on the other side, i lost 2kg weight since 3 weeks just from riding my new ebike at a heart rate that's better to burn the fat.

The figures on the range calculator are very optimistic!
It suggested I should be getting 47 miles for my riding and weight, where in reality I get more like 32 Miles.

I totally agree. I did 34k's on a 2019 Kenevo Expert yesterday at an average of 15kph with 679m elevation gain. I used Turbo for no more than 200m in the entire ride, Eco (set to 15%) for about 5% of the ride and the rest of the time I was in Trail mode. The battery was at 5% by the end of the ride. According to the Range Calculator I can do 39k's/650m altitude gain in TURBO! or 54k's/895m in Trail.... That's miles out, there's no way I was getting another 20k's out of that battery! There's a disclaimer regarding track conditions/clothing etc. and I get that but I was riding flowing tracks with a gravel base (there was less than 100m of slippery/muddy track in total) and I wasn't dragging an open parachute behind me.

This looks more like a sales and marketing pitch than any attempt to provide valuable, real world information to me. I wouldn't want to plan a trip based on the figures that were given that's for sure. I'll be interested to see if anyone posts here saying it was (even close to) being accurate for them.

1st post in this forum, done! :)
