I really don't know because of the way I use it and the terrain. I have rolling terrain to deal with. Without probably about 16-17 mph. With about 20 mph. The Flat out speed has gotten better since I first tested it. With the motor only it tops out about 23 mph.

Since my commutes are pretty long I hypermile the pack and just use the motor to keep the speed up around 20 mph. It's on and off quite a bit to save the pack. I use a pluse and glide to keep the average around 19-20 over my commute.
