|---|---|---|---|
| 180 lb, throttle | 20 mph | 14 mph | 10 mph |
| 180 lb, pedaling | 20 mph | 15 mph | 11 mph |
| 250 lb, throttle | 20 mph | 11 mph | 8 mph |
| 250 lb, pedaling | 20 mph | 12 mph | 9 mph |
Steepest grade at 8 mph (180 lb): 20% on throttle, 22% with moderate pedaling. Peak power lasts for short hills; on long climbs motors fall back toward their 500 W nominal rating.
