I was wondering,
#1, What is the charge time for the Gomicycle?
#2, do you have to connect the spedometer to the new electric system, or does it just go by wheel revolution?Posted by Freirec on July 28, 2008 at 07:43:01 Pacific Time

Hi-
Thanks for the questions. The charge time depends on a few factors, including the battery capacity and charger amps. I had a few different set-up's with times between 4 to 10 hours. The speedo is hooked up to the wheel, so the AC power has no effect on it. Check out the how-to video here:
