Haven't posted in a while. Had this bike going on two years (October). I just wanted to share with you on how a 60 volt electric bike performs on certain kinds of roads. This bike is a steel framed Schwinn Cruiser purchased from Walmart. It is equipped with a 750 watt front motor 22 amp controller kit. It came with a 36 volt sealed lead acid battery that weighs around 30 pounds, but I upgraded to a 48 volt (16 1/2 pounds) then a 60 volt lifepo4 lithium battery which weighs 20 1/2 pounds. By doing this I've gained 10 mph in flat level speed. Going from 18-20 mph with a 36 volt to 23-25 mph with the 48 volt then 28-30 with a 60 volt battery. Not to mention increasing the distance I can travel. The sealed lead acid battery drained after 7 miles. The 60 volt lifepo4 lithium battery traveled 17 miles easily with plenty more to spare. Anyway, I've posted links to 3 short videos showing what the ebike realistically can do riding flat level, uphill, and downhill.
