sunnyday,exactely,
if you use it on sunny days, no rain, no below freezing temps it is much lighter use than mine.
I commute 330 days on my TF during a year, rain, freezing temperatures, BUT not after snowfalls..
I am not any elite, simple like stuff with quality, I bought Honda car not KIA - why?
KIA also do everything HONDA does, why did I buy HONDA?
It is obvvoius why.
30miles/hour is not bad believe me on 36V , it is not 48V you forget.
You buy E+ for reliability.
One detail: example , E+ uses Delphi connectors, weather sealed, they cost 2-3 times than cheap exposed connectors where you can see metal connectors exposed to elements.
No cheap throttle /with cheap 3 lights /here but rugged Delphi brand.
E+ does not cheat on their specification sheet, no exagerration.
I try different ebikes from Wallmart, Canadian Tire also, no comparison to E+.
E+ is not intended to compete with Chinese brands.
E+ is made in USA with labour laws, coffee breakes, health benefits and business which actually pay taxes,
in civilized world , only western manufacturers maybe have this in China.
