Mustang second hand three years old. I have no car now out of choice. The bike is sturdy reliable and indispensable. The battery is sound the motor consistently powers me up hills even though shopping in paniers is heavy. I use the bike as much as four times a week for a 6mile round trip to the shops. The route includes hills. I use the gears to keep the wheels rolling and even in a low gear I arrive sweat free and relaxed. The masochistic me wants to arrive panting and sweaty as then I know my system has had a proper workout. The realistic me says you'd never get the shopping home. The I thoroughly recommend the bike and the shop to all e bike purchasers. On low gear I recharge after 15 miles max.
