15 ah capacity

ok, full throttle? hmm, well, i don't really go that fast all the time, kind of dangerous, but i can tell you that the range exceeds 36 km.

here's how you need to see it, i think. How many km per ah am I getting. That i can better answer based on my experience:

if you're gentle with the throttle and accelerate slowly etc, and still rely mostly on the motor with very minimal pedalling, like i do, then you can get 4 km per ah, which means we're talking close to 60 km. i pedal to get the bike up to speed to help in the acceleration phase, which i would say lasts about 5 seconds (let me do this in my head again, yep.. one mississipi, two mississipi, three mississipi.. i'm losing track of the esses in that word :- )

on a windy day, this goes down to 2 km per ah, 30 km.

makes sense ta ya?
