Hi Footie,
Yes, I'm very pleased with distance I get. I too live in a picturesque area.. near Saunderfoot, South Wales. I don't push too hard on the pedals because the motor seems to select it's own speed and if you try to go faster with this hub motor it's hard work for very little extra speed. I'm down to 5 mph on some of the very steep hills but they're manageable at that low speed. I can understand you wanting to change your battery if you were only getting 7.5 miles. 18-19 miles is a good distance and I can understand you being so pleased.. I usually only do around 12 miles per trip but I was curious to see how the battery performed. I used just pedelec mode to-day but I often cruise around on the flat using the throttle saving my energy for the hills. The ride didn't knock me out to-day though because I cut the lawn when I got back. (I'm 66yrs). I had a nose round your personal homepage.. interesting.. thanks. I can understand you feeling mad.. you'll know what I mean. You say you get comments about your bike.. so do I.. people are so curious lol. What surprises me is the number of people that ask whether the battery charges itself.. now that would be nice.
