I used 3000mah in 5.5 miles, doing full throttle. The only pedaling done was the 2 seconds moving from the Green light and the first 500 feet from my house. It was cold out today, so I had to warm up a bit. I only stopped a bit to turn on the GPS and let it go for the 1.6 miles as seen in the picture.

I am using my old FMA 6s 10A charger at work. I'm allowed to bring the bike inside my lab, so no risk of anybody stealing the bike. I do use my eagletree logger to see what is going on. Waiting for the LCD screen to arrive, so I can see live data like mah used, voltage, amperage and maybe motor rpm. I could also add my eagletree gps module and see current speed.

Jerry,
the bike rides nice and worth it as long as the weather is good. 1300 bucks for a complete bike is not bad either. My bike when new was near 500 bucks after tax. Add new onroad tires, $240 motor kit and batteries and you come out to the same. Going to work in the morning is a breeze for me, but going home is a pita. Wouldn't be so bad if I drive Toyota, but with the big family SUV it is. I put 75 bucks of gas yesterday and the tank still wasn't full. Gas prices is just killer nowadays. My daily commute time is the same with the bike.

I got looks while cruizing on HP campus. Security didn't know what to think of it.
