Just looked them up. Are you leaning to the 30 mph model or the 40 mph model?

40mph of course! I'd probably spend most of my time between 20mph and 30mph but the extra power might come in handy. The special front crank is expensive but I want to contribute past 25mph.
It'd be very economical if replacement batteries at 15k - 30k mile intervals didn't cost $1k. I could feasibly sell my 2000 Volvo and rely on my 97 pickup truck, the trike, and my other traditional bikes. Having the GTO as a second backup wouldn't be that much of a hardship.
