Ranges for electric bikes depend massively on style of ride and terrain. Hills will require more power from the motor and drain the battery quicker.

However, battery technology is improving a lot each year, and we are seeing expected ranges for average use increase consistently.

While there's not quite a fully standardised electric bike range measurement yet, we've done some digging and found the top 5 bikes with incredible ranges both around town and cross country.

Many entry level bikes have ranges of just 30 miles or less, and it's important to shop around and get something that won't leave you pedalling the whole weight of the bike all the way home. However, we've collated the other end of the scale and found some of the biggest ranges you can get.

5 Electric Bikes with Huge Range

1. Delfast - 228 Miles

With a colossal 228 mile range, the record breaking Ukrainian Delfast Bike is an offroad bike that is powered by a 3kWh battery. As a comparison, most ebikes have a 300 - 700Wh battery! With a top speed of 50mph, it's pushing the limit of electric bike into motorbike territory, however it comes with a 25 kmh limited mode for an attempt at rroad legal compliance, as well as pedals. Prices start ar $7,000.

2. Stromer ST5 - 112 Miles

Entering back towards the realm of normal city ebikes, Stromer are a high end Swiss company making exceptional quality bikes. With an impressive 100+ mile range, the ST5 is powered by a hefty 983Wh battery, one of the biggest available on a normal ebike. Classed as a speed pedelec, it needs to be registered and is capable of 28mph assisted. If you're looking for a more sedate 15.5 model, the Stromer ST1X can also be fitted with this ginormous battery for equally impressive range.

Another premium entry, the Supercharger can be fitted with double Bosch 500Wh batteries, giving you 1kWh of battery to play with up to 80 miles in a sporty Tour Mode.

5. Raleigh Mustang Comp - 60 Miles

If you're looking for a more affrdable bike for long distance touring, the Mustang offers an affordable and comfortable all rounder. While hard off roading may put the quoted range of 60 Miles from the 400Wh battery to the test, it's an extremely capable machine.
