Can the Lectric XPedition2 (single battery) climb hills?
Highest steady speed on each grade, motor at its 1,310 W peak, limited by its 85 Nm of torque. A 10% grade is a steep city street; 15% is a hard hill.

|---|---|---|---|
| 180 lb, throttle | 22 mph | 14 mph | 10 mph |
| 180 lb, pedaling | 23 mph | 15 mph | 11 mph |
| 250 lb, throttle | 20 mph | 12 mph | 8 mph |
