I got tired of my battery meter lying to me so I created the Range Anxiety App!
We’ve all been there. You’re ten miles from home, you hit a headwind, your battery percentage is dropping fast, and your bike's built-in "bars" are just lying to you about how much juice you have left.
That's why I decided to stop guessing and built the Range Anxiety app.
My goal for the app is to be the "Truth Meter" for your ride. The app isn't just estimating based on simple voltage sag. I’ve built a complex physics engine (explained by our mascot, Watt-son, in the image above) that calculates your REAL range by factoring in:
- Your Data: Voltage, Ah/Wh, Motor Wattage, Rider Weight, Bike Weight (with battery), Tire Pressure and tire type (road vs. knobby).
- Environmental Factors: Temperature, elevation and wind.
- Ride Style: Do you ride Relaxed or Aggressive? Pedal Assist or Throttle Only?
- Start Battery: Input your start percentage and get a precise mileage.
It’s not just range. We’ve also built in:
- Trip Planner: Simple maps for one-way or round-trip planning.
- Group Ride Tracker (HOST TIER): We want to build community! You can host or join real-time group rides.
- Rider Social Network & Ebike Forum (integrated in the app): Connect with other ebikers and talk repairs, modifications and custom builds.
How the app Works: rangeanxiety.app/how-it-works
It's available now at: rangeanxiety.app
There is a FREE tier and a PRO option to unlock advanced features and group rides.
I am an ebike enthusiast myself, and I built this to solve a real world problem we all face. I would love for you to give it a test ride and give me some brutal, honest feedback, and help me improve the app. This is literally my first time every deploying a public app so constructive criticism is encouraged 😅
Let’s make range anxiety a thing of the past! ⚡
Ride safe,
