Please can you test to see what the actual range is in uk conditions? I'm just getting into 3d printing so I'm keen to follow what upgrades you do.

It's very hilly where i live so it's always a mile uphill on the way home and hilly on a ride. I got 56 miles on a single charge which is better than expected. I expect it could be extended with careful pedaling. I tend to go as fast as I can, if I were to coast more i am sure the range would be better but i am not expecting to do a trip longer that 56 miles in one go!

Bafang kit is surprisingly good, I added a mid motor to a cheap 2nd hand mountain bike during lockdown, and semi slick tyres. Made it a great hybrid and ridiculous torque having a range of gearing for the motor

Yeah, I did the same. Ii can't ride a normal pushy because standing on the pedals kils my already buggered right knee. The electric bike enables me to cycle sitting down even on the steepest hills. You will enjoy it 8-)

You didn't show adjusting the headlight. My experience that is something that cyclists need to take on board. Car MOT is very strict on that. These modern bike lights can be more powerful the the lights on my 1st car ! I know it is partly an "age" thing but being dazzled by a cyclist's lights is as dangerous as him / her not being seen.

You pedal. The torque sensor knows how much effort you put in and adds motor assistance. You can select 5 different levels of assistance. Level one is all I need on level and slight slopes, switching to higher settings takes you up hills easily.
