Corrections and more data

My speedometer was not set correctly, so the previously posted top speed of 94km/h is wrong.

Top speed is electronically limited to 32km/h to comply with electric bicycle regulations. Actual top speed when not regulated on the flat with light pedaling is about 50km/h. Up a hill like King George south of Highway 10 this drops to about 32km/h. Down this same hill the top speed is about 68km/h. At this speed the motor is actually re-charging the batteries somewhat, so if I was to turn off the controller I would cruise down the hill slightly faster, probably about 75km/h.

Average moving speed from South Surrey to 84th and 128th (about 17.5km) can be about 37km/h when not regulated.

Total distance ridden is now about 2300km.
