| I did much research before the build and this site was one of my sources. I had to come back here and give my input to the community. This is my first electric vehicle build and while I have only done about 6 km around the backstreets, I am impressed with the bike. It accelerates well, changes almost seamlessly up the gears (without a clutch). With further testing I will be able to provide an updated top speed and range. Any specifics or photos, feel free to email. WebPage | |||
