May you pedal and use the electric power? Will that exten distance range?

Also, unless you really want to fold your 60 plus pound bike in half, scratching everything, huffing and puffing because you forgot to take the battry off... Etc. Get the Prodeco withOUT the hinged frame.... Ive since stopped playing that game. Ive rode over 2,000 miles on my Prodeco and after time, the bike will shake and vibrate unless you take the time to screw that hinge shut. It to me, is more of an inconvenience than an asset. Happy trails

Yes! You are able to use both electric and pedal or either independently!With the 12 amp battery , you get about 20 miles range with very little peddle assist.Peddling will increase the distance and battery life depending the amount of effort!

Yes - all 3 options are available - 1) Pedal only , 2) Electric only , 3) Pedal and electric combined (it will extend distance range)

Yes and yes. Pedaling will most significantly impact range during acceleration--particularly from a standstill. If extending range is important to you, I'd suggest pedaling until you get to 8 or 10 mph and then use the motor. That will extend your range greatly. But, its just an awful lot of fun to just use that motor or to pedal and use the motor--its very quick acceleration. Hope this helps

Yes, of course it extend the range. You will find that the comfort of having your battery lose its charge in the middle of your ride is as equatable & exasperating as driving your car, running out of gas and getting out to push it to the nearest gas station. The 9AH Lion battery is an absolute joke. You will get NO MORE than 15-20 miles MAYBE, between charges. Thats WITH peddling. Why Prodeco sells it as a start up on their E-bike is Glaringly apparent to me Now. Thats because they KNOW that. The upgrade to 17AH is 700$. Get your upgrade with your First bike. Save @ 3-4 hundred $ that way . The 9AH is CRAP. Yes, of course it extend the range.

Yes you can! I use 2 pedals, one with its own battery and the second one is connected with the power supply. Im sure you can do the same with multiple pedals.

I don't think while actually driving but in general maybe. They have coffee makers and other travel items that you use with power converters. You would have to look up the voltage or watts and make sure it's not to high. I have to say, I may look into that myself for long trips :)

You can go anywhere between 15 -20 miles distance. The light is the smallest issue. Your drivingstyle is #1. Meaning: approaching red light: already from afar get of the gas, off the electricity, and let it roll. A little downhill: go back with gas, save electr. Any trafficsituation, don't drive with full gas and then brake! Allways get of the gas and let it roll: save battery. As I said earlier, it does not do well uphill. You want to live and drive it in a level area.

I used it with a pedal a bought here on Amazon, and it worked great, you need to know the signal is great when you are close to the receiver, even tho I used it about 25 foots away and it worked fine, but to avoid bad signal use it near the receiver. You will need another music plug cable to connect this device to the pedal, it'll be like and extra plug, since the device comes with one plug that for example in my case I used it to plug the device and my guitar.

It really depends on the steepness of the hills and how much you're looking to pedal. If the hills are steep, you will need to pedal. If you want something to power you up hills, you may need to look for something with a 48 watt motor rather than the 36 watt on this bike. If your concern is the range with the battery, I have gone 30 miles or so without issue, so even with some hills a 24 mile round trip will likely be OK. If you're doing this for work, also keep in mind that the battery can be taken off to charge inside wherever you are while the bike is locked up outside.

Depends on what you got for a cb setup. I can normally reach out about ten miles on a stick cb. With a modded cb you can talk a state or two over.

about 20 miles on full throttle (no pedaling) if on mainly flat ground and about 30 miles on pedal assist just Geronimo said. The more weight you carry noticeably affects the distance and speed.

As a mobility scooter rider it is always a concern to know will my batteries last to get me home. I try to keep on top of this by closely monitoring distance traveled on a fresh charge. RMS amps per hour are useless for this purpose. I know I can do a 10 mile round trip on level ground with my scooter. Won't try a long steep hill on a 10 mile trip but 4 miles works. How much more??? Trial and error and judgment. Too many variables to engineer a neat answer in advance.

I don't see why not but this might be overkill for that. As for the connection, I believe the site where this is listed contains several plans depending on what you are trying to do. You can run this from a 9 volt battery so power should not be a problem.

No - you don't ever have to pedal if you don't want to. If you pedal you don't use as much battery.

I would give it a try, although since it isn't digitally tuned, you might not be able to keep it on stations that aren't very strong...drift can be an issue. And the pounding and vibration of a bike ride probably won't help.

Yes, I'm not sure of range limit! I've done it from about 1.5 blocks ! I'd say it would probably be good up to 1/4 mile tops! But I can't verify that!

I have not tried this, but the information on the box says it has a working distance of 10 meters.
1547240
Yes you can. It will probably work better than my motorcycle because it is lighter.

Theoretically you could rig a way to do this but not sure what this buys you. with a 36 volt 12 ah battery it would take a long time at 10 watts to charge up your battery. best to bike home. ken

not without a bypass. and you would have to hardwire everything to the bypass because these are 8 year old units. i upgraded mine to a compustar because the range dropped to 20 feet or so.
