UPDATE! :)

After riding to and from work yesterday (12 miles total), I decided not to charge the battery yet, and do some more riding today.

So today I did my usual to-work-and-back route on the same charge. The battery meter on my throttle (which only has high and low) was still showing high, so I continued riding around with no particular destination in mind.

The meter continued to show high any my trip distance was up to 15 miles (plus 12 miles from yesterday's ride), so I stopped pedalling and continued to ride on just the throttle.

After 20 miles, the meter was still on high, but started to dip into low when pulling away from stopped and accelerating (still no pedalling), but once up to full speed, the low light went out again.

After another 3-4 miles I decided I was too cold and went home.

It seems like I can easily get 35 mile range at about 20mph with moderate pedalling!

Result! :D
