Id call it more of a scooter than a bicycle. At 90lbs thats kind of heavy to be pedaling without a choice of gearing. I wonder about the quality of its parts? If it does go 40 miles to one charge it would be worth it. Another thing is with SLA batts you need to recharge them when theyre depleted not when you want to.

I'v had my cozybike for over a year and like it fine.

Do you really get a 40 mile range and 20 mph? Any problems?
Thanks.

MM, I'm 78 yrs old and don't think I could ride this bike 40 miles, however I have ridden it 20 miles in hilly terrain and the voltmeter indicated I had plenty left. The speedometer is not accurate or linear. I use a schwinn speedo and it indicated top speed at l7 mph. I calibrated the factory speedo to be accurate at 12 mph.

No problems except the pedal sprocket began to slip on the shaft. I spot welded it in a few places and that took care of it.

I had a geared bike before this one and it did better at hill climbing but I didn't like the gear noise.

I am pleased w/this unit all in all and it's right now probably the best buy of all the electrics.
