Like anything electric it depends on what setting you use it on ..or the terrain you are riding on. The system has 4 settings Eco, Touring, Sport and Turbo. ECO gives you a 40% boost to your effort..and Turbo 275% help...go on line to bosch and look for Active or Performance line bike pedal assist systems...all your answers will be there...Ok. How many miles will it go on a charge?
Wrong!...certain countries have different rules..here in Europe the max is 25KPH then the motor quits..in the US I believe it will be 45KPH before the engine quits. The only difference between the Active and Performance systems is the programming..so if I was to make my active line a Performance line and was caught riding it here in Italy I would be fined.also be aware, in many off road areas, these bikes arn't legal to use. Many have a pure manual only clause so don't plan on doing any real MTB riding with them in many places.

Come on lazy people, bikes are the best invention ever (imo,) even without power assist, biking through the city is probably the fastest way to get around. Unless your route to work is all hills, I don't think you need this.
Not sure why you are being downvoted. Zero motorcycles makes great looking e-bikes. Bosch is to Zero what the Prius is to Tesla.The Tesla of bikes is Zero, rather ignorant article. And unless you have $$ to burn.
