CCS owners - average speed?

[Captain Slow]

Got my bike last week and will use it primarily to commute to work. I'm curious as to what the average speed most CCS owners are seeing on their commutes/rides.

When I ride my Cervelo to work I generally average about 25-28 km/hr. for my commute. My commute is a touch under 18 km/hr. each way so the battery should have lots of capacity for a round trip given that I plan to peddle.

What's a realistic average speed to expect? Is it unreasonable to expect an average speed of say 35 - 38 km/hr.?

My route is generally flat, but I do have some hills. According to my bike computer I have about 110 metres of climbing on my route and that is basically two hills.

Anyhow would love to know the following if others are willing to share:

1. Average speed on your commute
2. Length of commute and terrain
3. How long you've been riding your CCS and your experiences

I use my CCS for a 9 mile commute (14.5km) each way, with slightly less elevation gain as yours. The speed of the motor varies depending on how much juice is in the battery. If I don't top off the battery at work, the speed of the bike drops off about half way through my evening commute. On a full battery, I'll get 21mph/34kph (though I'll get 30mph on flat, wind-free stretches). I'd guess that it drops to about 50-60% of that when the battery hits about 30% capacity.
