Update

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!):D .
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.

5100km, 170 battery cycles, installed pedelec sensor and Cycle Analyst. Speed limit on 25km. Total savings 1544 euro.
