Wanted to see how bad of a ride it would be with no power on my daily commute.
Recently up graded the tires to Scwalbe Marathon Plus and a new saddle. With Panniers loaded at 45lbs and myself at 195 lbs the torque performed just as well as in mountain bike hit speedings of 16 to 17 mph.
With alot of push back from 17 to 20 mph winds. 23 miles in 1 hour 45 minutes still no records for sure but still a very enjoyable ride. The commute has a few hills with one massive bridge to scale. On the way back the wind shifted so all in all no assist from mother nature 45 miles just under 3 1/2hours.
So not much for needing a spare battery.
