I bought the Venice Plus a while ago now. It took a few months to find out how to ride as I kept finding benefits all the time. Initially I thought it had only 3 electric powers. How wrong I was it has 6 ! Then I found out - again by mistake - that I could go from the 6 power to Zero by just clicking up at the top of each hill. It then automatically went to zero battery power. This obviously extends the battery power and capable mileage per charge enormously. I bought it to do a 4 day charity ride to cover just over 320 miles. This needed an average speed each day of at least 12 miles per hour. I am now up to 14.5 mph average. Great bike great fun solid and safe
