Additional FeaturesApart from speed restriction to make the machine street legal, the
controller also came with a useful cruise control that locks in after 3
seconds.
I now embrace hills and tend to go everywhere on this machine as it
makes commuting, parking and local errands so easy.
The machine lives in gear 15 (hills) or gear 23.
With the front hub motor and placement of the battery the bike has an
extremely good weight distribution.
