The cycle is geared for a top speed of 45 MPH, the speed limit on the road right outside my house.

I can get up to 30 miles on a charge.
It uses a 48V system - 4 12V batteries in series (Optima Yellow Top 55AH batteries)

The acceleration is really good, and I can slip the back tire from a stop on a fresh charge, although it is never going to pop a wheelie.
