Just got back from another great ride on the Tahoe. I'm weighing in around 300lbs and with a lot of hills and 0 pedal assist I got 23.5 miles! BMS 46.3 and one bar left on the battery indicator. I had the setting at normal. In the eco mode, the bike/I could not go up any steep hills. Also, the throttle is nonexistent in eco on a hill. It just doesn't kick in. I've put a bottle cage on the handlebars, and I like it there because I don't have to bend to get at it. TheTahoea 2015 with the 2016 motor as an upgrade. I'm 73 and this is the most fun I've had riding in many, many years. The bike is extremely comfortable and the upright position is perfect for me.
I bought an E Lux Newport bike from ebikecatalog.com. The customer service was good and the bike was shipped to me in Georgia within a week. I was very impressed with the paint job and the look of the bike. I put the bike together myself and it was somewhat easy. I would however recommend that you have Your own tools handy. Be sure that you have an Allen wrench set and some grease. The front fender was hard to put on and did not come with fender screws on the front fork. I did not put the front fork on because of the tire clearance. I was very impressed with the overall look and the ride of the bicycle. The Newport in my opinion is very comparable to the Pedego Interceptor with a savings of over $1000.00. I had the bike shipped to a business and paid no shipping costs. Overall I am very happy with the bicycle. I would recommend to E Lux that they offer the bike with mag wheels in the future.
