Yeah, I'd describing it as feeling like you are spinning the pedals to activate the motor, vs feeling more like a normal bike. The first few days I had the BBS02 I hated the feeling, then quickly adapted to it. I'd say it still has enough of the feeling like riding a bike that I don't regret getting it. If I were starting from scratch, I'd be tempted to go for the CYC Photon.
My battery is 16Ah, under ideal conditions I tend to get 40 miles per charge with how I ride, when winter riding it can drop to 15 miles per charge.
