You are so right, I built this to be doing something fun and for local travels, 10 miles out and 10 miles back, but then I wanted to go faster and further so I built the Motorized Scooter and the wife rode the eBike, but the DMV has started to change the rules so now they call it a scooter, a eScooter, BUT I have never been stopped...Battery runs out just Flinstone it! The electric bike I had weighed about 75lbs and was like pedaling a truck with no power, no fun. That's why knowing your range is important so you know when to turn around and go back. If the batts weren't so expensive an extra batt is the answer but $1400 [52v 19ah and battery is fitted to only that bike] is a lot. Just for the extra batt. That's why I'm back at a gas motor, only limit is amount of fuel hauled and knowing where fuel stations are.
