They advertise:

Speed: 20+ mph  
Range: Up to 30 miles

I rode it 5 miles on the bike trail and it didn’t slow down at all.  
Put it on the charger when I got home and it tripped off in 20 minutes.  
It seems pretty efficient.

If I pull out from driveway and head up the hill with out pedaling, it makes it, but it’s really slow. If I pedal just a little, it really picks up quick.

I find myself pedaling up the hills just to maintain cruising speed.

It is a little dangerous, I find myself going faster than I normally would, so braking and turning have been “spirited” at times.

I almost had to buy my neighbor a new mailbox!
