this bike does what it says. it has speed and climbing ability. i ride it on the highway, and i feel safe. i rid it in the sand and the gravel logging roads, and it keeps up with my friends on their motorcycles. obviously not at the full speed of a motorcycle, but it will do 25 to 30mph, no problem.
battery life is fantastic.
i highly recommend this bike for anyone who likes logging roads and long bike rides.
i bought the dual battery ones just so i could go way in the hills to pick mushrooms.
the other reason my wife and i love these is they are quite, unlike a motorcycle, so we can enjoy nature in a more peaceful way.
also environmentally friendly.
the aftersale support is the best i have ever had from any company.
Personal recommendations:
1) Buy a dropper seat post
2) Eventually, add two extra lower gears for long distances on highway riding.
