Overview:
Electric Vehicles are a key part of our tomorrow and how we get there. If we can get all the fossil fuel vehicles off our roads, out of our seas and out of our skies, we'll have a much better environment. This community is where we discuss the various different vehicles and news stories regarding electric transportation.

500 W sustained, 750 W peak. By default it's class 2 and limited to 20 mph (which is what the label on the stem says). I typically ride between around 18 and 22 mph. Only really go above that on flat or slightly downhill sections, where the motor isn't really as needed anyhow. I ride on assist level 1 (minimum), although sometimes I'll switch to 0 (no motor assistance) on a downhill to give myself a little more exercise.
