    You can still pedal without the battery, you just don’t get the assist. What do you mean by fast charging? My battery goes from empty to full in 4 hours, and I have a 50 mile range. (80.5 km)

      But with a dead battery you have to haul it plis your stuff, which was supposed to be there to make it easier in the first place.

      And by fast charge, I mean like an electric car, that can fully cjarge in about 15 to 20 minutes instead of hours.

        Wouldn’t you still get some benefit once you’re going due to regenerative breaking? Though I’m just guessing as to how they are set up, no idea if they even do regenerative breaking.
