Reminder to self: eBike battery meters are apparently exponential, not linear.

1 bar and 4.5 km to home.

@LoneLocust It's not an easy problem to convert voltage to capacity since it mostly happens in the last 15%

@vees @LoneLocust Oooh, good to know. Most of my rides are rather short, so I’ve never gotten the battery under 25%.

My bike has adjustable boost levels, so I made Eco into a "10% boost" level: just for limping home. It makes the bike about as hard to pedal as a normal bike, despite the extra 35 lbs. and the 2.75" wide wheels.

I ran out one winter at -15F and windy, and getting home was very un-fun.
