Sur Ron Range in Bali
Range is the question that decides which rides are realistic. Here is how to think about it for Bali.
What changes your range
- Terrain: hills, soft ground and technical trails use far more energy than hard-packed flat tracks.
- Speed: sustained high speed drains the battery quickly; steady, moderate riding stretches it.
- Rider weight and cargo: more load, less range.
- Riding style: hard acceleration out of every corner costs a lot.
- Heat and battery age: Bali is hot, and range varies between a fresh battery and a well-used one.
Real-world figures
Ridden normally in Bali, expect 100 km or more on a full charge. Push hard, ride two-up-heavy or spend the day on hills and rough trails and you will see less; cruise gently on flatter tracks and you can beat it. Treat 100 km as a sensible planning figure and always start the day fully charged.
How to plan a ride
- Start every ride fully charged.
- Assume the lower end if your route has hills or technical sections.
- Turn back at just under half battery on an out-and-back with no charging option.
- For a long day out, ask us first — some routes are not sensible on a single charge.
