I have bought several electric bikes and scooters over the last five years. This is the best value by far. Many others that advertised 40-50 mph barely did 30 and were not really ready for daily commuting. The EVD does 50 mph on flat ground and cruises great in traffic. It does slow down on hills but that is to be expected for electrics. It has all of the gas scooter controls - horn, turn signals, lights, locking steering, and even has disk brakes. Overall I am very pleased with the EVD. 

Like I said, I have bought several other electrics. I also have a R10 electric bike from R Martin.  This has a similar motor type to the Optibike but at a fraction of the cost. The EVD and the R10 are my favorites. I highly recommend this company for value and standing behind their products. www.electricbikedistributor.com is their web site.
