how do you know? we have not been to the moon.

No, but some friends have. Nice place they said, but no atmosphere...

I tried on the Haibike, with it's 700c wheels etc and only managed 1mph faster than on the BH Xtrem with it's 26" wheels, knobbly tyres and on a wet road.

I can see that this is going to be tough.

Tried again yesterday on the Haibike, but only managed an identical 42.5mph

Get the next Wiggle MTB ride out of the way, and I'll put the slicks on the BH, lock the front suspension and try again. The Haibike just doesn't seem the bike to get there.

You just need a steep enough hill. I got 43mph from the Woosh Sirocco CD first time out.

I couldn't work out why I couldn't go faster than 60 km/h on my £5 bike with Xiongda motor. After several attempts, I found out that the display doesn't go higher. I thought it was a bit of a coincidence that I always hit exactly 60.0 km/h!
