Technically, it's the wife's, so please ignore the Hello Kitty decoration, but here it is
It's a Go-Ped and unfortunately they decided to stop making it, but with it being Propane, it's a simple engine to maintain.

We had a sign with a speed detector installed on it and got clocked at 16mph.

and that's my Electric Bike next to it.
Extreme XP-707 Pocket bike.

The Go-Ped is faster.

I bought them when we stayed in Fontana Village at The Dragon. It made getting around the area fun and faster than walking.
 
He doesn't have the rights on his own name, but nice trick with Fuell haha

I love the Flow, it looks great! Looking forward to more specs :)
 
20-28MPH?, 74 FT/LBS of torque, 125 mile range and a pair of 500kW batteries? None of that makes sense. One is a bicycle, one is a very small motorcycle. Me thinks some specs were glossed over.
I'd also like to see the 50 liters of storage:eagerness:

It does seem like a hodge podge of claims. The speed rating is true for bicycles whether they are 20mph "Pedelec" (aka Class 1) or 28mph "S-Pedelec" aka (Class 3).

The top tube and down tube appear large enough to carry batteries, so it appears that the claim of twin batteries is true.

The rating of the batteries being 500kW is way off. Thats probably for the motorcycle. A Shimano STEPS 8000 series battery is rated between 418-504Wh, and thats about (arguably) as top tier as it gets in the bicycle world. 500kWh is dramatically higher.

On a MTB, Shimano claims (on average) a range of 20 miles in "Boost mode", and 55 miles in "Eco mode". So, 2 batteries could pull off a 125 miles, theoretically.

74FT/LBS of torque .... seems like its a motorcycle spec. However, maybe the two batteries being utilized at once could (maybe) get that much juice to the motor to pull that off. The STEPS 8000 motor claims 70nM of torque... so maybe that a misprint and they meant nM instead of ft/lbs (or is it lb/ft?).... Hey, I'm grasping for straws on this one!



edit: it looks like this article is a bit more accurate with the facts.
