With up to 1250 watts of power being delivered through it’s high quality motor, the Model R accelerates quickly and smoothly. During our test rides we averaged anywhere from 17.7 to 19.5 mph, and all of us agreed the Model R feels very comfortable at even higher speeds of 20-28 MPH. I got up to 35mph going downhill, and felt very comfortable even at those speeds. The 3” tires had more than enough traction and width to support the bike at all speeds tested – we didn’t peel out or have any wheel-spin issues.
The bike itself only weighs 56 pounds, but if you add the rear rack, front basket and any gear, it will creep above that. We’ve loaded ours with a bit of extra weight, but it accelerated quickly with good response time even when loaded with cargo and a 220lb+ rider.
