E-Bike Hill Climb Calculator

Estimate required motor power to climb a slope, or calculate the maximum sustained incline for a given motor power.

Typical: 0.003–0.01 (road to off-road)
Typical upright e-bike: 0.5–0.8
Required motor power: — W
Breakdown: —
Maximum sustainable grade: — %
Note: Short bursts may exceed continuous motor ratings.
Advanced: formulas used
  • Gravity: m × g × v × sin(θ)
  • Rolling: Crr × m × g × v
  • Aero: ½ × ρ × CdA × v³
g = 9.81 m/s², ρ = 1.225 kg/m³
