    • Depends on a lot of factors – age of the battery, ambient temperature, and terrain being among the most impactful. I used this to commute to work before I was moved to a different location. My commute was 13 miles each way. I experimented to determine how much of that commute I could do on a single charge. When the battery was new and the weather was warm (favorable conditions), I could get approximately 24 of the 26 miles on charge. I never used battery alone (if I’m not pedaling, I might as well drive), but I did use the battery pretty much always to assist the pedal-power. Most of my commute is flat, but it gets hilly when I got close to work. So if I started the day on a full charge, I could get home again with pedaling only the last two miles, which is flat. Solar charging throughout the day in spring/summer/fall (or wall charging in winter) gave me adequate assist the whole way.

      Many ELF owners maintain more than one battery, which works great to extend the range of the motor assist. This ELF comes with a cradle I installed for a ‘shark’ battery from Luna Cycles (shark battery NOT included, only the cradle and its shelf).
