Riding Experience

- The throttle can take the bike up to 20 miles per hour regardless of the pedal assist level.
- The bike has a smooth pedal assist and can comfortably cruise at 11 miles per hour in pedal assist level one.
“Riding this bike without any power is not difficult at all… the throttle is going to take you all the way to 20 no matter what pedal assist level you’re in as long as you’re not in zero.”
Pedal Assist Levels and Speeds
- Explains the different pedal assist levels and their corresponding speeds.
- Pedal assist level 2 reaches a speed of 14 miles per hour
- Pedal assist level 3 reaches a speed of 14.9 miles per hour
- Pedal assist level 3 reaches a speed of 16 miles per hour
- Pedal assist level 4 reaches a speed of 17.6 miles per hour

“Remember guys, this is only a Class 2 bike, so it’s only going to do up to 20 miles per hour.”
Braking Test
- Conducted a braking test to determine how quickly the bike can stop.
- Used a 25-foot tape measure to measure the braking distance.
- The bike stopped right at 24 feet in both tests.
- The braking on this bike feels good and doesn’t feel bad.
“Feels good though the braking on this bike doesn’t feel bad… It’s effective and works well for this bike.”
