Rad Rover acceleration question

[CodyDog]

How fast can you accelerate to 20mph using the throttle only on your Rover? I know weight is a factor as well as on an incline and head wind. I'm looking for somewhat of a baseline. I was expecting a little faster acceleration on my new Rover.

I tested my 2016 Rad out this morning on level ground using the 1 Mississippi method:

0-20 mph about 18 seconds throttle only
0-20 mph about 10 seconds with combo of throttle and hard pedaling (started in 4th and shifted to 7th)

62 lbs Radrover
12-15 lbs for accessories (rack, rack bag, flat kit, rain gear, water, extra lights)
270 lbs for me
12-15 lbs for commuter backpack (lunch, work cloths, coffee, etc...)

360-370 lbs for the rear hub motor to push

Thanks for the reply marigold35. I'll see what I get for comparison.
