How fast the bike is depends entirely on you. Its a 20" freestyle bike so I don't know what hills you are going to be down, and its not a bike for the highway...

it's probably somewhere between 28 and 35 pounds.

i have one. the gt performer weighs in at 35lbs stock, and is a flatland bike, it is pretty easy to pedal up hill once your body gets used to pushing this beast up a hill. the performer's weight is specifically for flatlanders and CAN be used for bmx and dirt jumping, but is not recommended because of its weight. this bike will move if you want it to but the weight will carry it down the hill with very excessive speeds and keep gaining speed until you stop.
