Batteries | 1 OT 48v Lithium battery, 48.00 Volt, Lithium-Ion It is a 10 AH Lithium battery that is about 12 lbs. They also have options for 2 like I got or even more AH. So far very good battery life with little loss after 3 years. | ||
System Voltage | 48 Volts | ||
Charger | Organic Transit a very small 1 amp charger with no PF. They also have optional 10 amp fast chargers but since it has a solar roof who needs a charger. | ||
Heater | pedal harder | ||
DC/DC Converter | Kelly kelly internal DC to DC This takes the Solar panel output and charges the battery. It shuts off if fully charged. | ||
Instrumentation | none, you add your own. They now offer a cycle analyst but I added my own. | ||
Top Speed | 30 MPH (48 KPH) 20 miles per hour by law but since you can peddle you can go as fast as you can try too go. Maybe 25-30 like I get. On downhills a few owners have gone over 40 mph but I don't recommend it. | ||
Acceleration | 0-10 in 5 sec | ||
Range | 20 Miles (32 Kilometers) The battery takes you 20 miles but since it is a nice comfortable recumbent you can help and go 30 miles. | ||
Watt Hours/Mile | 1800 MPGe , even a Tesla can't beat it for being efficient and having people notice and ask 101 questions. | ||

Additional Features | You can pedal, use electric and it has a windshield and 60 watt Solar panel roof. The new 2015 version has a 100 watt solar roof. | ||
It gets registered as a bicycle and is very easy to ride. No license or insurance needed. Lots of people ask about it. I think it is as eye catching and gets curious questions as a Tesla. See more pictures at WebPage WebPage |
