In my journal, I kept a log of how many bars of electric he used each day (Trek's cyclemeter shows 8 bars of electric when fully charged, Don used anywhere from none to all 8 bars depending on the day's ride):

Thanks for the information. Good to hear some stats from real experience. Hope to get my bike sometime this week and hope it's worth the money i spent.I won't be climbing any mountains, but there are some pretty good hills around here.
