808Wh battery and 100 miles of range. These two numbers track with each other and are roughly believable.

OTOH, with a battery this big, a generator powered by the pedals, and regen braking this thing has to be heavy. I'd expect it to weigh at least 80 lbs. More likely 100. The fact that their "specs" say nothing about weight suggests they're embarrassed about the weight.

It's difficult to say these numbers are believable or not as they depend on speed and pedal input, but given my own experience and reading some tests/forum, they are off by 2x to 3x.
