getting more miles on a GSD

[NNN]

I'm wondering if our GSD can get me camping. Tern advertises a range of 128 miles, which would be great!

I'm guessing the 128-mile claim is using ECO on flat ground with no wind, at some unspecified speed?

Bikepacking people, what boost level & range do you use?

Do you have the 2 batteries? I do, and have done a weekend bikepacking trip of 40 miles towing a trailer with a 45 pound dog. I did recharge at the campground, because I could, but according to the display I had enough juice to make it home without recharging. It was all in turbo and sport, with some rough trails and hills. I would try experimenting with approximate tour weight and higher assist, and see how many bars you use. Higher RPM pedaling will help the range and the knees, so if in doubt shift to an easier gear. I'm going to do similar tests with my e-MTB for a singletrack trip in June; if you can check the distance and elevation change of a desired trip, it will help make your experiments more meaningful.

I have one 400 and one 500 battery. I tested the PowerPak400 in ECO at 28km/h and got 56.73km (35.25 miles).

I'll test the 500.
