1. The highest speed I've seen with this kit on its original KHS frame; and now CLEM yesterday; is a pedal-pushed 28mph, which is easily do-able on descents around here without a motor. It rides like a normal stoutish-built Rivendell with a bunch of weight added in. The motor's top speed on flat ground is around 20.
Concerning one poster's comment about charging out into traffic with a big burst of frame-stressing speed, DON'T DO THAT. I wouldn't grab a handful of throttle on an e-bike any more than I would a motorcycle. I ride it like a normal bicycle that has a massive tailwind for the very steep climb back to my house after a day's journey. 2. I told Grant about this before it was finished, and sent him and Dave finished photos yesterday. Dave expressed some interest in electric on the Blug a few months ago, and we chatted about them then. None of us ever mentioned a warranty 'cause making a claim on one after putting a motor on their frame would be madness. I bought it, I modified it, I break it, I own it.
