extraordinary! would love to read/see more about that ride! any vids while riding? does the motor help you maintain avrg speed going upgrade? meaning if you're running around 15mph but dip to 9 normally does the motor help you stay at 15 the whole way? or do you bump your avrg for the whole ride? did the battery last the whole day? is there fall-off with the assist toward the end of the day?
