Acceleration	Is insane! I have gear limited the crusier to around 55-60km/hr as I need extremely good hill climbing I live in a very hilly area. When the bike is upgraded in the near future to a 66v 15ah setup top speed will also increase by ~15-20km/hr

Additional Features	I have linear actuated stablisers that are controlled by a bar mounted momentary switch, these are necessary for me to keep bike stable whilst I transfer from my wheelchair to the bike and when i come to a standstill when riding.
I built this bike in a 12 month period working a couple of hours every few days, majority of the parts come from the USA so freight delays and finances (im a disabled pensioner) were the reason behind the extended build tim. The crusier is seriously fast from 0-40km/hr pulls like a small moto-x bike, it has improved my life greatly as it is my only form of transport, I tow my wheelchair behind the bike so it has been an asset I love it!
