Conditions


Battery is fully charged. Original estimated range is 40 km.
SeasonWinter
Weathercold (+1°C) and windy, overcast, no precipitation
Terrainmostly level, with short steep climbs and downhills
Rider weight65 kg

Results


Average speed11.5 km/h
Maximum speed26.2 km/h
Total travel distance26.4 km
Battery state after16%
Estimated distance left6.6 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%.
