I think you can go about 25 on the Pedego.  But that depends what kind of grade you are on.  The guy who sold us ours says he goes 38 on downward grades, but I have personally never tested that myself.  I have 2 knee replacements and can't take the chance on ruining them by going too fast for my britches!  I like taking my time and enjoying the scenery personally!

Oh my gosh we love our Pedego E bikes.  We have the Boomerang Plus model so there is no bar to step over.  We both have lots of hip/knee/back issues etc and that model works perfect for us.  Most people seem to buy the city commuter though.   You need to do your homework on the type you buy.  We have the type that have pedal assist on them, not just throttle.  That way we are still getting exercise.  The best way to explain how they work is they make all the hills flat for us.  We can also use just the throttle if we get tired.  Also we got the 48 volt battery so we can go farther and because I am a heavier person.  We got a nice Hollywood bike rack for the back of the cruiser and we have loads of fun with them.  We use them around here all the time too.  They weren't cheap but you get what you pay for.  We shopped around and looked at the cheaper ones.  I told my husband that I think they were the best investment we ever made!  They let us go places that we never thought we could with our physical limitations - also we are not spring chickens anymore.  Lots of doors opened for us.  You can check them out on the Pedego website and there are a lot of dealers around the country that let you try them out or rent them before you buy.  Also their Facebook page is a great testimony from owners on their quality and how great they are.
