ⓘ What is the range of your bike?

UTO bikes offer a reference range of up to 50 to 70 km depending on the model — in real-world conditions, range may vary.

Here are some factors that can affect range:

  • Assistance level: 5 assistance levels on UTO bikes — the lower the level, the greater the range
  • Bike load: Total weight (rider, bike, luggage) has a direct impact, especially on hilly routes
  • Tire pressure: Check it monthly. Underinflated tires create more resistance and consume more energy
  • Elevation: Climbs put significant strain on the motor
  • Headwind: A 30 km/h headwind can reduce range by around −15%
  • Cold weather: Range can drop by up to 20% in winter. Storing the bike in a warm place helps preserve battery capacity
