Can Jackery Power an E-bike? Which Model & How Long Can It Run

Yes, Jackery can power an e-bike for outdoor use. The wattage consumption of the e-bike depends upon its motor type, riding conditions, weather, bike components, carrying requirements, speed, range, and body weight. Various models of e-bikes include E22, ES2, ES3, MAX G30LP, ES4, and MAX. The solar generator uses solar energy to power these devices without harming the environment.

This guide explains the wattage consumption of an e-bike depending on various factors. It will also provide information on which Jackery model is compatible with charging the scooter and teach you how to calculate the working hours.

How Much Electricity Does an E-Bike Use?  

E-bikes come in different models, and their electricity consumption varies depending on their type or model. On average, an e-bike motor consumes 300 watts of electricity when operating at 120 volts. Using the latest innovation, an e-bike can help you save watts of electricity and reduce electricity bills, as these are energy-efficient and can replace two-cycle engines that produce smog.

Can Jackery Power an E-bike?

Jackery Solar Generator and Jackery Portable Power Station can power an e-bike, which can be used for transportation, mobility, emergency services, mobility for veterans, etc. Factors affecting the appliance wattage consumption include range, speed, body weight, motor, and battery capacity.

Here's a table showing the running time of different Jackery Portable Power Stations when they charge an electric bike (250W).

Note: The operating wattage is considered 250W. The running time indicated in the table is just for your reference, and the actual time might differ.  

Step 1: Check The Started And Rated Wattage of an E-bike

Started or surge wattage is the wattage required to start the device, and rated wattage is the device's power consumption during its operation. Since an e-bike is a motor-driven device, it consumes a surge wattage. Generally, the started and rated wattage is mentioned on the device. If not, you can check the user guide to see how much started and rated wattage the device consumes. If wattage is not mentioned in the user manual, you can check the voltage and ampere used by the device and multiply them to determine the wattage.

Step 2: Check The Started And Rated Output Wattage of The Power Station

You can determine the power station's output wattage by looking at the model; however, this does not apply to the Plus series. For example, the output wattage of Jackery Solar Generator 1500 would be 1500 watts, and the surge peak output would be 3000 watts. The power station's rated and output wattage must be checked before selecting the right product size.

Let’s say you want to run an e-bike (300W) with a Jackery Explorer 2000 Plus Double Kit. Then you can calculate the working hours using the formula given below:

Working Hours = Jackery Portable Power Station in Wh × 0.85 / Operating Wattage of E-bike.

Working Hours =  4085.6Wh × 0.85 / 300W = 11.6H.

Note: While charging the devices, some power loss occurs; hence, multiplied by 0.85.

Note: The running time in the table is when the solar generator is fully charged.

Jackery Solar Generator and Jackery Portable Power Station: How to Choose?

It is important to consider the right size and wattage of the solar power system before choosing the Jackery Solar Generator and Jackery Portable Power Station. You can choose the Jackery Solar Generator if you live off the grid or in an area frequently affected by blackouts and power outages.

The solar generator combines solar panels that capture sun energy when placed outside on a bright sunny day. It converts sun energy to electricity energy (DC) and transfers it into the Jackery Portable Power Station. The power station has a built-in inverter that converts DC into AC to power your e-bike.

However, if you need to power your e-bike when going for an outdoor adventure, camping, or RVing, the Jackery Portable Power Station would be an ideal choice. Once you find an area with a grid power supply, you can charge the power station using a wall outlet.

Conclusion

The Jackery Solar Generators and Jackery Portable Power Station can charge various models of e-bikes, including E22, ES2, ES3, MAX G30LP, ES4, and MAX. Depending on the right size and capacity of the solar generator and power station, the e-bike of different wattage and voltage would function longer.

For example, a 250-watt e-bike operating at a voltage of 120 volts can be charged using the Jackery Solar Generator 1000 Plus and Jackery Solar Generator 2000 Plus. Similarly, an e-bike with 350-watt power and 240 volts of voltage can be charged using the Jackery Explorer 2000 Plus Double Kit Portable Power Station.
