I found the bike to be heavy. It would be good for someone who does not want to overdue it with the peddling and let the motor do most of the work. I personally 2 days a week on my 14 mile commute really push myself and use the motor only 5 to 10%. I agree with dgk a 250 watt motor is an issue. I find my real use for the motor is for some steep inclines and would need at least a 350 watt motor. If my 14 mile commute was all level I don’t think I would need a motor. Except on days like today with 30 to 40 mile per hour winds.
