@@BeatsAndGuitars I have 233 miles on mine since I received it on July 11th. At 188 miles I added a second battery so my ranges will be different. After watching this video yesterday I set my max speed to 28km like he did which gave me a wide open throttle of 17.5mph. I only tested throttle only at 17.5 yesterday because I thought his result of 5% a mile at that speed sounded high. I made 3 runs testing that. I went to my riding trail (paved path on top the Mississippi River levee). I had 59% when I got there so I drove it till it dropped to 58% and stopped. I set my gps for 2 miles and it took 3% and I stopped at 55%. Then I decided to see how far I could go using 5% going against a little head wind this time and went 2.6 miles and stopped at 50%. Then I gps’d my ride home from there. It was 1.7 miles and when I pulled up to my door it dropped from 50% to 49% (no head wind). I think if he were to do more riding at his throttle only 17mph he would average a good bit better than 5% a mile. I have only fully charged my dual set up once and got close to 45 miles using 51% battery, all throttle. Mostly going 20-22mph with a couple 30+ mph hits. You can expect 30ish miles on a full charge (1 battery) throttle only traveling 20-25mph on flat ground. I bought it mostly for entertainment not exercise so I don’t pedal much. That being said I did try all kinds of combinations of pedaling when I first got it. You can easily get a workout if you want and you can also pedal without feeling like your doing anything. I love it. Im 6’2” 190lbs and my only hill around me is going up the levee which it does with authority! Hope you enjoy yours!
@@thejunker5961 if you were to use 5% per mile from a full charge to 20% charge that would only give you 16 miles. At that speed (17mph) you should only be averaging 300ish watts so you should be able to sustain that for over 2 hours traveling 34+ miles before you get to 20% battery making your percent battery used per mile much lower than the 5% used in the video. I know the percent will vary under many different conditions especially wind and hills. Maybe going 1 mile is too short to get a good average. I think on a longer run you would average 2 to 2.5% per mile. That lake ride looks cool.
@@toneighty6913 I concur with your math. I've found the battery seems to lose less at higher charges. I will do a longer ride and see what happens. Unfortunately, the area i live is very hilly, with the lake being the flattest part of town.
Amazing range on the Kepler 🔋✅ We did a 33 mile round trip and it still had 36% battery left. This was averaging 17-18 mph, with SEVERAL miles long full throttle runs Excellent machine 🤘🏽
Kepler is great. I need to do a long distance ride and see how my battery life compares. I seem to be getting less mileage than most, maybe due to my hilly area?
I think the Kepler has great distance in what I would call "cruising mode", but once you take it to the high power settings, it really drains that battery, as expected. Such a fun and versatile bike.
@@thejunker5961 a lot of people get another 20ah battery and a battery blender which turns the stock battery and a battery of your choice essentially into one battery, it’s plug and play and tons of vids about it on here
I have just put 200 miles on my new Kepler. All of my rides have been in the hilly terrain, here in the Gold Country (foothills) of California. I rarely use my throttle and constantly pedal for all of the rides. I love the workout, along with the pedal-assist. My conclusion, for maximum distance on a full battery charge, in hilly terrain, with power level 2 and 3, is roughly 40 miles.
I'm getting about 18 miles before battery leaves 100% when using PAS 1 in top speed setting 40 mph. That's with 9 levels and 1 being 17mph. After going to 90% or so battery, it will drop 1-2% every mile when remaining in PAS 1 at 17mph. 23 miles or so I'm at that 90%..33 miles can be about 70% 45 miles in that 50% range. That's not touching the throttle and only 17mph top speed. Level ground . 50% at 40 plus miles so far.
I personally haven't had a need for more range or speed. That's awesome though. I get scared at 40mph on mine when I go downhill. This thing is a beast!
thanks again bigt another great video, im starting ti think this kepler is a mirage cause was suppose to get end of july and i havent even got a peep, tried calling emailing nothing at all. never had any problems with my xp 2.0. if so you can get someone roght away. they got $2000 of my money plus i have like $700 in upgrades that i might have to return if dont hear anthing soon. also internet said i ordered 6/30. that batch is out for delivery. and NOTHING.
Sorry to hear that, I know how frustrating it can be waiting. They did respond to my emails when I asked them for delivery updates. But I ordered on 6/8. The bike is real, I think they have issues getting the containers out of customs. I don't work for Ariel, or have any affiliation with them, but the bike is worth the wait IMHO. The 1000W motor is a beast and it has been amazing for commuting.
@@thejunker5961 thx man is reason why i bought pluys im a little bigger then some and EVs dont like weight, im 6 2 250 plus i bring tools to work sometimes. and i live in boston. driving here is insane. another bicyclist just got killed again last week. right in cambridge were i travel everyday. i need the power and range.
That sounds about right .. What I was expecting for here just messing around. 👍 Got mine in the processing mode .. Not sure how far backed up they are. Ordered a few days ago.
I got it off Amazon as a kit, paid like $50 for it. There are a couple options, which all look like the same camera. It's OK, it would be nice if it was a little brighter, but it's hard for any monitor in direct sun. The battery charge on it is great, I've have only charged it once so far.
Very useful info. I’m curious about two things- what’s the slowest top speed you can set it to in the menu? Also if you would have set 5 levels of PAS in this test would you have gotten a slower speed in PAS 1? I think it would be nice to be able to get 6-8mph in PAS 1 for certain situations but maybe I’m only saying that because I don’t have the bike yet lol. Great video man.
I did a test with 5 PAS levels and the low speed did not change, just more speed levels between the low speed and high speed. My low speed was still like 9-10mph.
How is the torque. I was thinking of going thru some mountain bike trails that have a few dirt hills. Would this bike make it up a fairly steep hill if I pedal with it.
i just got in from riding my kepler and now you got me going right back out to do some testing.... nice tips.
Any testing you do and show us is greatly appreciated. I can’t wait to get my Kepler….I’ve got rides and routes already planned lol

Nice .. So safely 40 if doing some assist for sure.👍
35 miles of rang on full power
I get 40 to 50 miles on my kepler using pas1 only set between 1to9. Top speed on pas1 is 19mh and degrades as battery drains.

Thanks dude. You helped me alot.
U can add a extra battery to the kelper to get more range and speed. My kelper does 40 mph now with no pledging. I like this ebike now.
I personally haven't had a need for more range or speed. That's awesome though. I get scared at 40mph on mine when I go downhill. This thing is a beast!
@@thejunker5961 ok man. I do Doordash for a living and I like this ebike. This ebike pay for itself for the long run.
I like the longer rides (50 -75 miles) and am considering getting another battery for my Kepler.

@@thejunker5961 it figures i ranted sunday night, and of course i get notice for wait is over.
Ha, that's how it works sometime. Now you just have to deal with the anticipation of arrival!
I'm doing 17 mph in PAS1 with it set for 9 PAS levels at 63 kph top speed.
Great video shared with a friend
That sounds about right .. What I was expecting for here just messing around. 👍 Got mine in the processing mode .. Not sure how far backed up they are. Ordered a few days ago.
Got mine on Sept 3. About 4-5 weeks seems normal..
Hey Junker.. what's the Rear-view camera setup that you're using? Been trying to find a good one..
I got it off Amazon as a kit, paid like $50 for it. There are a couple options, which all look like the same camera. It's OK, it would be nice if it was a little brighter, but it's hard for any monitor in direct sun. The battery charge on it is great, I've have only charged it once so far.
@@thejunker5961 Thanks for the reply!!
So you had your mobile mounted to the right of the central display. What was the thing on the left side?
Very useful info. I’m curious about two things- what’s the slowest top speed you can set it to in the menu?

I will check it out, but I think the low speed stays the same. But I was barely pedaling the bike and it was going about 10mph.
I did a test with 5 PAS levels and the low speed did not change, just more speed levels between the low speed and high speed. My low speed was still like 9-10mph.

Bigteedo has a Channel solely for the Kepler.. th-cam.com/channels/kCWa5H35x-a4GOnu0mR6nQ.htmlvideos
I have not met a hill that I could not get up with ease.
wherr did u gdt that backscrden from
All of those things to adjust and set just to ride a bike! What a shame!
lets make a decent BIKE!!!!!! Lear smoothing with Tesla!!! 28 KM or Miles, any speed bike does !!!!!!!!!!!!!
28 KM?????????
Hi man where did u buy the back camara.
Amazon, several just like it about $50. It's OK, not great, could be brighter.
Do this bike have cruise control?
It has Pedal Assist Levels, or a throttle. If you hold the throttle it will go at whatever speed you set as maximum.
