A more accurate range test of V5F in real life

Conditions
Battery is fully charged. Original estimated range is 40 km.
| Season | Winter |
| Weather | cold (+1°C) and windy, overcast, no precipitation |
| Terrain | mostly level, with short steep climbs and downhills |
| Rider weight | 65 kg |
Results
| Average speed | 11.5 km/h |
| Maximum speed | 26.2 km/h |
| Total travel distance | 26.4 km |
| Battery state after | 16% |
| Estimated distance left | 6.6 km |
In conclusion, I think, the wheel can last for forty kilometers (as per the wheel estimates) if and only if the rider's weight is around 45-50 kg, going on a level surface at room temperature, at a rate of 15 km/hour without any strong accelerations/decelerations.
In the real life, we are looking at something more like 30 km down to 0%.
