Top Speed	12 MPH (19 KPH) I'm using a 6:1 gear ratio 70 tooth rear 12 tooth front with my little wheels and 24V system I'm calculating a top speed of about 12mph and that's about what it feels. but I can carry two people up a steep incline, and even with three on the bike it has a nice jump out the gate.
Range	5 Miles ( 8 Kilometers) I really have no idea the range - I built this for the art and for show, not for efficiency. I can usually get about 4 hours of riding on flat ground.

Additional Features	There is a propane fired steam boiler on the back. It is a flame-tube through a water chamber made from an old fire extinguisher. There is a 100 psi rated safety valve, an it holds about 1.5 gallons of water. The steam powers a "dead-man's whistle" as well as other steam effects.
