I took my first ride on the electric K2 today, Memorial Day. I was able to ride to my work and back at top speed without charging (about 20 miles), and had significant life left in the battery. Overall I am pleased with how the bike turned out. My main gripe is that there is too much weight on the rear, and so the bike does not handle as well as is could if the weight was more evenly distributed.
The above photo of the bike charging in my garage was taken a few days later. The charger is on top of the battery. Note the Kill-a-Watt energy meter the charger is plugged into. I was interested to know how much (or little rather) it was costing me to commute to work now.
