I rode one at a high end bike shop in my area and I couldn't believe how fast it was. The one I was looking at & riding was MSRP $2500.
Yeah, this bike goes 28MPH and that speed (24-26MPH) isn't too hard to maintain on flat ground if you have it in the highest Pedal Assist Mode (Turbo).
This bike had an MSRP of $3400, it was a left over from 2018 models (only difference between 2018 and 2019's are the color options), so I got it for $2800

Sweet. I really like how sleek it looks with no clunky box. I wonder how many kwhrs the battery is.
Cool. Now make sure you give your heart a workout on each ride.
It'll do 28 mph regularly too! I can barely keep up 17-18 mph on my bike for more than about 10 seconds.
Just in time for the Little 500 !

Totegoat...what you riding around on?
I was going to go with the Specialized or Trek....but to get a 28MPH Trek, it was $5k. Too much for me at this time.
I was looking at the Haibike. But I didn't want to wait for the new FlyOn series to be released.

Yeah, it does look too big doesn't it? Please don't put a tractor seat on a bike that does 28 mph.

On Saturday, my 14 year old boy and I went out for a ride. We live around the lakes, so lots of big hills. Plus, the wind the blowing 20mph.
Sometimes it was at our back, sometimes in our face.
We rode 27 miles. He almost died. I made it too. But the next day (Sunday--Tuesday morning) until now, I still have a two HUGE knots in my back around my shoulder blades. I'm guessing I over did it and went too far too fast. Supporting my weight on a bike started to get pain in my wrists....and it destroyed my back. I'm healing up.
We might go for a 8 mile ride tonight after work.
