Second thoughts on EUC and range test

Well, it is ~25 km later on V5F and I can say my driving confidence improved.

I thought my legs would hurt and that I'd feel a lot of strain on feet, but those expectations were not met. As I drove more, less and less I had the need to grip tightly to the wheel, so not much tiredness yielded out of those few trips. My longest trip so far was 18 km, on a badly paved road, yet it was doable at ~13 kph average. I have even stumbled into a couple of potholes without falling.
I have also unlocked the top speed and I now can go as fast as 23 kph.

Now to the range. 18 km going as fast as I could, on a bad (but level) road, dropped battery charge from 100% to 33%. If we calculate the number of which 18 will be 66%, we'll get 27 km. So with my weight of 65 kg, the wheel can potentially go 27 km. That is even more than I expected. One can expect about an hour of riding.
