I had 3/8 ths of a tank and it cost me $103 to fill up. 33 gallons is nice to have until you have to fill it up. 😣

What's your top speed on that thing? And what kind of range do you get? Asking for a friend. 😰

State laws limit the top speed to under 20 MPH. Above that it's not considered a bike but a motor vehicle and you'd have to register it, put a license plate on it, safety inspections, excise tax (here in MA)... like you would as a scooter or moped. The controller settings from the manufacturer has a setting that limits it to just under 20 MPH so they can sell it as a bike and not a motor vehicle.

Mine peaks out 19.8 MPH on a flat straight away. I can go into the controller settings and change the default max speed or eliminate it all together if I want. From what I read, the bike I have it can get up to 35+ MPH on flat road if the top speed setting in the controller is removed.

With the battery I have and depending on the terrain, it's range is quoted to be about 30 mi on a full battery and running on full electric mode. You can increase the range to 50-60 mi if you assist by peddling. It's about 5 hrs to recharge from 0-100%.

This is the one I bought. Actually bought 2.

One for me, one for my son & daughter that they share. We all have a regular peddle cycles too but it's fun to buzz around on the e-bike.
When I bought them last fall they were around $550 with taxes and shipping. Looks like they are now around $600 before taxes and shipping.

It's pretty low end on the e-bike spectrum, I just use it to buzz around town for errands or appointments and stuff if the weather is good or to just get out for some fresh air.

In some cases, it's faster to get from point A to point B than using a car. With a bike you can cut corners through parking lots and short cuts that cars can't do. Don't have to worry about 1 way streets, can glide past cars waiting at the stop lights and stuff. I maybe use it once a week since it's still winter here. I'll probably use it more in the summer when it's not 20° F outside with snow and slush on the roads.

My rent is all inclusive including utilities and other stuff like gym, outdoor pool in the summer (which I don't use) ... so technically, it's not free. It's just no extra charge until next year when it's time to update the lease (typically goes up $25-50/month per year).

For me, it's still not a bad gig considering the big picture of not having to do home maintenance, landscaping, snow removal, trash, property tax and crap like that. The downside is I don't gain any equity in the money I pay if I were to "own" a house.

It's either pay the property management rent and they cover all the stuff or buy a house (house prices are crazy high now) and pay the bank/mortgage company "rent" and still have to cover all the extras for the next 30 yrs. By the time I pay off a new mortgage, I'll likely be a babbling idiot in diapers again (there's a softball served up... right down the sweet spot).

Well Russian fuel imports have been banned now I guess so I would expect accelerated increases in prices. But at the same time I prefer to only finance one side of the war. So I'll pony up or cut out the elective driving.
