As fast as a bus!
With an electric bike I can now accelerate from a standing start nearly as fast as a bus driver can and, more importantly, in built up areas with frequent bus stops, I can travel in the bus lane at the same speed as a bus. This makes me feel much safer as previously I was forever being "cut up" by buses accelerating to pass me and then immediately cutting in to stop at a bus stop trapping me between the bus and the pavement!
