The "distance per charge" is not explained. Does this mean "distance without pedaling"? If so, how much farther can you go with just an assist?

sorry, can't answer as I've had problems with this product from the start. Right now it's in a shop (at my expense). I would suggest you look at it very carefully before you buy...

Recharging battery would require you pedaling with twice the effort as pedaling a normal bike!Kinda defeats the purpose of an electric bike ...Even the expensive bikes (with regen) that can recharge going down hills, produce minimal electricity."Regen" is ... effectively a braking system and ... minimally effective as a recharging system.

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.

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.

No. These bikes do not have pedal assist. However, one can emulate pedal assist by adding a little power from the throttle while pedaling. Again, thanks for you question. Mark.

Hi, this is a voltage increasing device. Current will actually be a little less. If you want to increase the amount of charge power, you need to get a bigger alternator for your bike, or buy a large boost convertor that runs off a isolated battery. Dan

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 would likely say "yes", but unfortunately only ride 10 miles or less per day. However the bike is great. I like everything from the color, the hybrid features, the comfort and dependability of the bike, and how easy it is to ride. Shifting is fast and smooth, and I have experienced no problem with the bike itself.

I don't see why not, although the more the bike weighs the faster you will use up the batteries so you might get shorter travel distance. I ran the bike uphill WITHOUT any assistance & the motor has plenty of power .

No, that us not my experience. I go back and forth from pedaling to using the power. It is easy and so nice. It pedals just like a regular bike .

Has anyone used this device on an Adventure Cycling cross country tour? And how useful are the AC way point info. Tnx, Jack

it is not worth the money they are asking for it you will be pushing it more than riding it . it does not stay charged all the time they say you can pedel it but the pedels are so far back you feel like you are ride a horse and it it is not easy it pedel it so if i was you i would do more looking into something else i hope this helps you out i am now rideing a electric bike to work now that the scooter didn't work out for me

You can add as much pedal power as you desire. The more you pedal the longer the battery lasts. Also, if you want to go above 20 mph you will need to add assist. We love our bikes, rode them all year and always returned with spare capacity.

Any pedal assist is on/off...you need a interactive controller to set the varying speeds. If you bought one compatible with the controller (i don't know if there is one) it would work.

Hi RichardThere is no pedal assist. Power is controlled via a variable thumb throttle on the right side of the handlebar.

It depends if you dont peddle at all yes. I have biked on it all day on one charge

lets think about this... 2000 meters is OVER A MILE!!!! Any claims like this should be ignored 100%. It may in fact do better than normal USB adapter but this "quoted distance" is bogus. Just like consumer two-way walkie talkies (they say 36 miles+) but that is under IDEAL conditions direct line of sight mountain top to mountain top.
