Heavy snow in Toronto right now. So its a good time to write of some of my recent Veloteq travels.

The longest recent trip was last week when I went from downtown Toronto at Yonge and Welsley to Richmond Hill at Yonge and Sixteenth. This is a round trip distance of 35 km. I was visiting relatives for dinner. As this distance is greater than the effective range of the battery, I brought the charger and plugged in the bike when I arrived. When I left a little less than four hours later, the charger was still charging, but there was still plenty of juice in the battery when I finally got back.

I went along Yonge Street the whole distance. It was quite a good ride. The bike did slow down to about 25 km/hr going up the big hills just south of the 401 in Toronto and also south of Royal Orchard in Thornhill. But it kept going.
