ZAP motor, not pedaling I would go 12-15mph, I could hit 20mph if I tried hard, but about 17-18mph was normal flat road speed pedaling with normal effort.
With the crystalite motor from electricrider.com I've seen 37mph with the high speed motor at 48 volts, and 27mph with the mid speed motor at 36 volts, no pedaling for either motor.
