“I bought this bike on special about 3-4 weeks ago and am loving it. I use it probably every second day and travel probably around 5 Km's a day.
I only recharged it yesterday for the first time - apart from when I first bought the bike - and only then, the charge indicator was around 75%.
On flat ground, I tend to not use the electric motor as I want to get the benefit of exercise and riding, but when on hills, I'll shift it into #3 or so, so I can get a bit of assistance. This probably explains why I get a longer battery life. Naturally, if you use the electric assist all the time and in top speed, battery life will be less, but I think I've struck a good balance of healthy exercise and 'help' when I need it. I'm not as fit as I used to be, so this bike really fills in gaps to help exercise.
Plus, I liked the fact that the bike looks like a normal mountain bike. A+++”
