June 2008:
I now have 2600km, 105 battery cycles. No sign of power loss on the battery. I’m doing 40km on one load and I always have a green light arriving at home. Re-charging takes about 4 hours.
My total savings are 786 euro, not using the car + bike allowance (in Belgium you can get 15 cents per km tax free!) .
I had one problem with the throttle last week. The bike was standing in heavy rain all day at work and the throttle was behaving very strange. When I switched off the throttle the wheel was spinning automatically. However after one night in a warm environment the system was back to normal .

October 2008:
4500km, 150 battery cycles, no sign of power loss on the battery. My total savings 1400 euro.
