" ... Its fast when fully charged. ... "
" ... Battery is great for short distance, would get me 15 miles on a singles charge with the peddle assist, probably not with just throttle. ... "
" ... This comes mostly assembled and partially charged. ... "
" ... The bikes come assembled, charged and ready to go. ... "
" ... The bike has better gusto when the battery is full as compared to when the battery is 1/3 full. ... I get about 14 miles per battery since I bought it for Provincetown, MA 4th of July vacation. ... I can put it in my car, take it into my place of work, bring it with me into stores and charge it anywhere. ... "
" ... Not sure about “mileage” but it lasts all day without me having to charge it. ... "
" ... No idea about durability or how long the battery will last but so far it's been doing well. ... "
