@Scaliboy62 -- Many thanks for generously sharing your knowledge & experience. Now I'll know whether to plunk down $2K & take the plunge. ]:-)
From your previous post about covering 39 miles in POD only in a strong wind, the MiPower should easily handle the 13 miles into town if I encounter a stiff (25+ mph) headwind. (The return trip will be a piece of cake, unless the wind suddenly changes direction.)
My question is how fast are you able to go into a strong headwind? I'd be really happy if I could count on at least 10 mph with the wind in my face.
Thanks for any info you can provide!
