I only drain my battery pack (14ahr) halfway generally, as a strategy to extend its life. I get 12 miles on half the charge, with heavy use of the motor and lots of hills. Over 3000 miles total on the bike now. I used ebikes.ca calculator to do the range and speed estimates, but I also bought their hardware so the estimates might be more accurate than if you pug in details from your set-up. I think only experience will tell you for sure what you have in terms of range and speed. Looking good!

See my car's mod & maintenance thread and my electric bicycle's thread for ongoing projects. I will rebuild Black and Green over decades as parts die, until it becomes a different car of roughly the same shape and color. My minimum fuel economy goal is 55 mpg while averaging posted speed limits. I generally top 60 mpg. See also my Honda manual transmission specs thread.
