    Electric Scooters vs. Full Sized Electric Bikes

    I have recently noticed the Genze 2.o electric scooter gaining a following although the scooter is illegal to operate without a license in NYC. I have had a chance to ride Genze's electric bicycle and was not impressed. The scooter on the other hand looks to be a quality product.

    Should bikes with the Bosch 500wh battery and motor have the same approximate range?

    Two bikes that both utilize the same Bosch motor system and 500Wh PowerPack will inevitably get about the same range. The range will fall somewhere between 20-70 miles. This large range is due to the vast array of variables that can drain your battery's energy. Though with both bikes being...
